Iceberg said he is annoyed by Dota 2 haters

Former professional Dota 2 player Bogdan Iceberg Vasilenko said that he does not like reading opinions in which people point out the state of Valve's MOBA. The ex-esportsman noted that the commentators are right, but this irritates him. Iceberg published a post on Telegram.

I saw the news that Lyokha [Solo] broke the online record, 70 thousand [peak viewers], something like that. And in the comments people write... You know, what breaks me most now is that some [fools] from some stupid games, who have a maximum of 2 IQs, write that Dota is a dead game. And they are, in fact, right, but they annoy me so much with these [bad people] who play mobile games, some kind of [garbage] or watch some streamers... It just pisses me off! [Fucking] developers, [damn it].

Earlier, other representatives of the professional scene also spoke out about the deplorable state of Dota 2. Team Spirit coach Yaroslav Miposhka Naydenov stated that MOBA “hasn’t died, but simply gone out,” and caster Yaroslav NS Kuznetsov noted that the game is “physically becoming obsolete.”

In June 2026, the average online Dota 2 increased. This happened against the backdrop of the release of the Dark Carnival event. Peak online over the past 30 days was 867 thousand people.
