The Ukrainian Dota 2 national team decided to withdraw from the IESF World Championship 2023 and not play a match in the lower bracket of the playoffs. The reason for this decision is the removal of the ban for the Russian team.
Ukrainian player Ivan «Kidaro» Bondarev:
This is Kidaro.
thanks for the support to everyone, but we were not strong enough against Kyrgyzstan, perhaps it was necessary ? yesterday after all, because it was nervous and the first experience in the international arena.
But after the news and the fact that this is the final decision to unban Russia, there is no longer a desire to participate in competitions.
A day earlier, the Ukrainian national team lost to the Kyrgyz national team and fell into the lower bracket of the IESF World Championship 2023 playoffs. Due to the refusal to participate in the match against Indonesia, Ukraine received a forfeit defeat and left the tournament.
