Team Spirit streamer spoke harshly about the SoNNeikO scandal, calling the player a coward

Ilya “Illidan” Pivtsaev believes that Akbar “SoNNeikO” Butaev would be afraid to threaten a player who could fight back. The content maker called the cyber athlete a coward because of his threats against Ammar “ATF” al-Assaf.

The Team Spirit streamer shared the relevant opinion in his personal Telegram channel.

“Sonneiko is a cowardly puppy. Threaten in real life someone who is obviously weaker than you. You know that, that's why you're making such a show of it.

I wonder if Puppey, Fly, Iceberg, or anyone who has any idea what physical conflict is like, if someone wrote that to him in a pub, would he act like that too?”

Continuing his point, the content maker added that it's no longer the times to resolve conflicts with threats of physical violence. Ilya “Illidan” Pivtsaev believes that if Akbar “SoNNeikO” Butaev one day behaves the same way with someone who has basic self-defense tools, the situation could end very differently.

“I hope you're reading this.We are not living in the Middle Ages. Anyone with a bunch of keys in their pocket or a pepper spray, let alone something more serious, can put out your aggression in such a way that you'll regret what you did for the rest of your life.

Try for once in your pathetic and cowardly life to lash out at someone who can answer you. Let's see how it ends.”

Before a match between AVULUS and Team Falcons at PGL Wallachia Season 2, Akbar “SoNNeikO” Butaev approached Ammar “ATF” al-Assaf before threatening to punch and knock the player to the ground. The organizers responded to the incident by fining the team of the perpetrator of the conflict for 110 seconds of bonus time during the drafts.

Recall that earlier Quinn “Quinn” Callahan called on the tournament organizers to disqualify AVULUS after the incident.
