Raven was easy to get started with because he came with his own ready-made set of heroes. Our game with Nikko and with T ORONTOTOKYO was different. It's also different from Raven. His style is slower than Nikko, but faster than TORONTOTOKYO. I don’t know if “correct” is the right word here, but you see the game timings and try to adjust to them with drafts and the way we play. I think during the time we played with TORONTOTOKYO, our ideas became a little slower. When you watch the finals of tournaments and especially when you play sparring with 1w Team or Team Yandex, you realize that there are a lot of places on the map for farming. And if you don’t farm them, you’ll fall out.

On June 4, OG ended its partnership with TORONTOTOKYO. The club did not renew the player's loan. Commenting on leaving the team, Hertek said that he was unable to “get along” with his teammates. He was replaced in the lineup by Nikko Force Bilokura.
