NS unexpectedly commented on the new roster of 9Pandas

The new roster of 9 Pandas may showcase good gameplay, but the inclusion of Albert "alberkaaa" Chernoyvanov and Mikhail "DarkLord" Blinov has raised many questions.

This opinion was shared by Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov, a streamer and former professional esports player, in a post on his Telegram.

"I'm a fan of Ainkrad's play. In general, it's something in the style of kiyotaka. Perhaps in a decent team, he will unfold properly, but as for alberkaaa and DarkLord, I can't say anything particularly flattering. Players from tier-2 (if not tier-3) teams. The last place I remember them is Cybercats. As you can understand, they haven't had much success in the esports scene"

However, he emphasized that even though these players haven't been in tier-1 teams, it doesn't mean they won't surprise viewers and analysts with their performance in tournaments. Nevertheless, he believes it's too early to draw conclusions, and one should wait to see their initial matches.

As a reminder, 9 Pandas announced their new roster, including a player who had been suspected of involvement in match-fixing in Dota 2.

9Pandas Roster:

• Mikhail "DarkLord" Blinov

• Alexey "Ainkrad" Diveevsky (stand-in)

• Albert "alberkaaa" Chernoyvanov

• Vladislav "Antares" Kertman

• Alexey "Solo" Berezin
