NS: "Every second player in Runa Team is throwing games"

Former professional Dota 2 player and streamer Yaroslav NS Kuznetsov shared during his Twitch stream that he had previously received an offer to acquire the Runa Team roster. However, he declined, citing doubts about the integrity of some players.

I was offered to buy Runa Team. They sent me the roster, I looked at it and saw that almost half the players have long been suspected of 322. They told me to pay for the roster and cover the players’ salaries, then the team would be mine. I refused.

Shortly after, representatives of Runa Team issued an official comment. They stated that they never asked Kuznetsov for money and are open to reviewing any evidence of dishonest behavior if such exists.

We did not approach NS with financial proposals. If he has grounds to suspect any of our players of match-fixing, we would appreciate any information. We strictly adhere to the principles of fair play and aim to achieve respectable results. Thank you to NS for his attention to our team.

The Runa Team roster was signed by streamer Oleg stray228 Bocharov. The team is currently competing in the Eastern Europe closed qualifier for The International 2025. They have secured one win in the upper bracket and will face Natus Vincere tomorrow in a match for a spot in the qualifier semifinals.
