Yatoro unexpectedly criticized Valve after the victory at The International 2023

Team Spirit was not allowed to take the Champions Aegis with them after winning The International 2023. Valve almost immediately takes it away from all the winners.

This statement came from Ilya 'Yatoro' Mulyarchuk, Team Spirit carry, during a Twitch stream.

"The Aegis is actually such a scam because you spend like one day with it, one night even. You spend one night, and then they just take it away from you, and you'll see it in like nine months, probably, maybe 12"

According to the esports player, they can keep the championship trophy for less than a day, and then they will see it again at the next The International. TI12 was no exception, and Team Spirit also had the trophy taken away for the time of engraving the names.

Earlier, Yatoro shared unexpected thoughts with fans about considering leaving Dota 2, which greatly surprised the community.
