Y0nd defended Puppey amid the player's controversial statements

Gleb “y0nd” Vazhnov stated that Clement “Puppey” Ivanov is known for his decent behavior in matchmaking, which is why the content creator is confident that the player was provoked into making harsh statements.

The streamer shared this opinion on Twitch.

“I know Puppey personally. Knowing how he communicates in matchmaking, it is very rare for him to come out with something like that. I am more than sure that some people provoked him. He wrote to them that they were like this and that, and he couldn't control his emotions.”

According to Gleb “y0nd” Vainov, Clement “Puppey” Ivanov behaves quite friendly in ranked matches, but the esports player should not have let his emotions get the better of him in his previous statements. Nevertheless, the content creator is confident that Puppey ended up in an unfortunate matchmaking pool, where it was difficult to establish effective communication.

"This does not negate the fact that he could have written it better, but he let his emotions get the better of him. In reality, he is very friendly. Apparently, he ended up in a matchmaking pool where it was difficult to communicate with people."

It is worth noting that the scandal surrounding Clement “Puppey” Ivanov erupted after the esports player made harsh comments about players from Eastern Europe in the matchmaking chat.

As a reminder, Clement “Puppey” Ivanov previously joined Virtus.pro as a stand-in for the FISSURE Universe Episode 6 tournament.
