Yatoro unexpectedly changed his nickname at Riyadh Masters 2025

Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk added the suffix “Hoshi Batista” to his nickname at Riyadh Masters 2025.

The esports player played the opening match of the tournament against Xtreme Gaming with his new nickname, which is available on Twitch.

Hoshi Batista is the main antagonist of the manga “Tezin X,” which is being worked on by the creator of the legendary “Tokyo Ghoul.” The plot is based on the character's desire to take over Tokyo by uniting people with superpowers. Currently, 65 chapters of the manga are available, which have been released on an irregular schedule since 2021.

We would like to remind you that earlier, the organizers of Riyadh Masters 2025 approached Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk, recalling the nickname “Raddan” that the player used at last year's tournament.
