Yatoro revealed the name of his idol in Dota 2

Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk confessed that Team Secret's captain, Clement "Puppey" Ivanov, inspired him to begin his professional Dota 2 career.

The corresponding statement was made by Team Spirit's carry in an exclusive interview with Esports publication.

"I think it's Puppey. When I started watching tournaments, it was the online era, and he won all the tournaments that year. I was very inspired by how his team worked with ultimates. They were very flexible, and I really liked their style."

Clement "Puppey" Ivanov has been playing for Team Secret since 2014, being one of the co-founders of the organization. Currently, the esports athlete plays in the support position and serves as the captain of the current roster. Team Secret has been distinguished by multiple winning streaks, but Yatoro likely refers to the team's success in 2019, which preceded Ilya's entry into the esports scene. During that period, Puppey's team won ESL One Birmingham 2019, ESL One Katowice 2019, and several other top tournaments of that year. At The International 2019, the team secured a fourth-place finish.

Recall that earlier, former esports athlete Roman "Resolut1on" Fominok announced his intention to return to the Dota 2 pro scene.
