A well-known streamer admitted that he left the professional Dota 2 scene due to a serious illness

Igor "iLTW" Filatov, streamer and esports player, revealed that his gaming career was devastated after contracting COVID-19. Due to severe consequences, he has experienced numbness in his hands for the past three years, which has hindered his ability to play effectively.

He shared this during a Twitch stream.

"My Dota career completely went off the rails when COVID-19 started. I got COVID-19, and since then, my hands have been numb. My hands are just numb, and I haven’t been able to play Dota properly for three years. It's just ***. Every day is *** hell. Well, it's okay"

According to him, he contracted and severely suffered from COVID-19 three years ago. The numbness in his hands that followed has impacted his gameplay, leading to the decline of his esports career. He reacted emotionally while confessing his struggles to his viewers.
