NS unexpectedly defended Skiter: what happened

In the event of Oliver "Skiter" Lepko, carry for Team Falcons, facing a series of accusations, streamer Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov has got his back. As regards to the Elite League, people started saying that it was Skiter’s fault that they were defeated.

The corresponding post the former cyber athlete published on his Telegram channel.

“There have been some times when Ilyukha gave his insight. There is something weird about Skitter: they call him ‘no talent,’ ‘terrible player,’ ‘team carries him’ etcetera and so forth. So far so good for suspicious activity. Talentless players simply cannot win TI (usually), and even if such an oddity happens once, this talentless player disappears from the radar so that he doesn’t go to another team where he wins one tournament after another”

According to NS, all these allegations are unfounded because Skiter would not stay in the pro scene after TI victory if he could not play anymore. Additionally, NS admits that probably this player is not a superstar but still fulfills duties assigned to him.

“But maybe skitter isn’t exactly the main carry who really stands out in his team. It doesn’t have to be like that; you can’t have three cores who are all carrys and no one else playing primary role; there is always someone in the 1 position and someone else isn’t. In modern Dota you can hardly find anyone stating clearly which hero is usually carried by their side or any particular other things like heroes played regularly by supports or offlaners only etc.; instead most teams use carrys in a different way now – sometimes as backup ones and occasionally also reminding us of 3 pos ; it works this way today”

As per NS’s opinion, Skiter’s accusations are ungrounded as he tries hard given his current situation.

“Everyone has their place and Skiter does his job brilliantly in his context”

It is worth mentioning that, previously, Alexander "Nix" Levin had mentioned that Skitter was responsible for Team Falcons loss in the Elite League grand final.
