RodjER admitted why he refused to play for 9Pandas at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023

Esports athlete Vladimir "RodjER" Nikogosyan has announced something grandiose in the near future, which became the reason for his refusal to attend ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 with 9 Pandas.

He made the corresponding statement on his Telegram.

"Some time has passed since the end of the Kuala Lumpur qualifiers. I tried for the guys and, in general, enjoyed the games. The atmosphere was very positive, even when we were getting kicked. But I made a very important decision for myself even before the qualifiers. Even after qualifying for LAN, it was very difficult for me to refuse to participate in it, but it is necessary for personal goals. Something very grand and unpredictable awaits me in the next two weeks. I'm going to shoot a mini-vlog from the trip. I don't know if it will work out or not, but I'll try to make it beautiful.

P.S. No, I'm not ending my career. Not today"

It's worth noting that RodjER substituted for Solo in the 9 Pandas lineup and helped the team secure a slot at ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023. However, the esports athlete suddenly announced that he is not going to the tournament, and Solo returned to the roster.
