Puppey referred to Azure Ray as rats due to the BetBoom Team scandal.

Clement "Puppey" Ivanov, the captain of Team Secret, strongly criticized Azure Ray behavior during the Bali Major, calling them "little rats."

The corresponding segment with the Dota 2 legend's commentary was posted on the Dota Tube YouTube channel.

"All I know about this situation is that the Azure Ray players were a bit nasty. They should have been a little kinder. Their behavior after winning against the BetBoom Team was a bit cringeworthy. I don't think any of the BetBoom Team players would have said anything if they had won.

They started blackmailing them, behaving like little rats. You know, you have a girlfriend, you did something weird, and this girl goes and cheats on you immediately. It's cringeworthy"

It is worth noting that another scandal occurred between Azure Ray and BetBoom Team during one of the final matches of The International 2023.
