RAMZES666 explained why he initiated Lil's exclusion from Virtus.pro

Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev admitted that he initiated the expulsion of Ilya “Lil” Ilyuk from Virtus.pro due to the esports player's poor results.

The player made this statement on Twitch.

"Lil was kicked because he played terribly. I kicked him. That's life, guys. You're already remembering Lil. It's 2026 now — let it go. Ilya and I get along fine. We're not enemies.

When I played on the team, I was in favor of us winning, not being friends or anything. Do you think we didn't give Lil a chance? Lil was given many chances."

According to Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev, a lot of time has passed since then, and now he is on friendly terms with Ilya “Lil” Ilyuk, but at the time of the decision, the esports player was thinking about his team's victories, so his friendly relationship with his teammate did not influence his decision.

Earlier, Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev named the best teammate in his career as a professional Dota 2 player.
