Papich told why he left Dota 2

Streamer Vitaly “Arthas” Tsal, known under the pseudonym Papich, said that he started ruin games in Dota 2 after he became famous.

The content maker made the corresponding statement on Twitch.

“I became super famous and popular very quickly, I was started getting ruined games by haters. I was constantly saying I was the best in the world. And that was really true, I was the best Dota player in the world. Started streaming, I started getting all jealous that I was good at the game. And started ruining games.”

According to Papich's statement, starting in 2016, the quality of his matchmaking games began to deteriorate drastically due to regular reports from other players. Finally Vitaly “Arthas” Tsal lost interest in Dota 2 in 2017, when the game, according to the content-maker's statement, began to lose quality, both in visuals and gameplay.

Recall, earlier Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov stated that Papich never knew how to play Dota 2 because he had no experience in the pro scene.
