Rostislav_999 shocked everyone with his appearance, becoming an exact copy of Yatoro

Rostislav "Rostislav_999" Protasenya, a well-known Dota 2 streamer, shocked fans with his appearance after deciding to cosplay Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk.

This happened during a Twitch broadcast.

As seen in the footage, Rostislav_999 put significant effort into his transformation, shaving his head, wearing a respirator, and donning a Team Spirit jersey. Notably, he chose the look of the two-time world champion from the grand final of The International 2021.

Back then, Yatoro surprised viewers by completely shaving his head, a gesture that later became a kind of ritual for Dota players, as his team went on to win the world championship title and lift the Aegis. Many fans noted that Rostislav_999 looked almost identical to Yatoro.

However, some believe that this drastic makeover was not the key factor in the streamer’s success at the BetBoom Streamers Battle 8 tournament. His team, Team Golovach, not only reached the grand final but also emerged victorious in the Dota 2 competition.
