Pure~ remembered how he was not accepted into Team Liquid due to “reputational risks”

Member of the 1w Team Dota 2 roster Ivan Pure~ Moskalenko told how he could join Team Liquid. However, the player was not accepted into the team due to “reputational risks.” The Russian cybersportsman shared his memories in an interview on the Mrs. channel. Marple on YouTube.

[Question: “A reputation has formed around you as a player with whom something is always happening. Has this affected the attitude of people in the community and players towards you? Do you feel this trail or has it faded away a long time ago and now has nothing to do with you?”] I would not say that the attitude of the players has changed, because when I communicated personally with anyone, there was no contempt or, conversely, no praise. They talked to me as a player like themselves. In the community, people may have had an opinion about this for some time. It doesn't really matter to me because I know who I am, I know what I want. Incredible [stuff] happened to me. Well, really. But at the same time, I still play, I still want to win, and I somehow got through it. Thank God, there are no more stories. That is, the last story, it seems to me, was with MinD_ContRoL, when it deleted itself. This was probably the last story. Again, it has nothing to do with me. This happens to me for some reason. I beckon this thing to me. Because of these situations, I was not accepted into Team Liquid. We wanted to, guys, but because of the situation they couldn’t take me. [Question: “So as not to incur reputational risks?”] Exactly they, exactly the same ones.

In 2024, before the start of DreamLeague Season 24, Ivan MinD_ContRoL Borislavov was expelled from Tundra. According to the e-sportsman, Moskalenko took the role of captain from him. Borislavov did not agree with some of the team's decisions.

Previously, Moskalenko was involved in other conflict situations. In 2022, during a pause in the official match, he drew a sign on the map that looked like the letter Z. And in 2023, during a pause in the confrontation, the player turned on the stream of Alexander Nix Levin, violating the championship rules.
