Maelstorm about SoNNeikO: “Screwing up your team is stupid. It's prehistoric thinking.”

Dota 2 caster Vladimir Maelstorm Kuzminov speculated on how misunderstandings between cybersportsmen should be resolved amid the conflict between Ammar ATF Assaf and Akbar SoNNeikO Butaev. 

It's so stupid, I don't understand doters in that respect. It's understandable that someone swears, but what was on the internet stays on the internet. Just for the simple reason that your team can get fined for trying to get into a relationship.

That's super dumb. It's understandable that you can say something on the internet that's gonna get you a ticket. Absolutely. It's everybody's responsibility. But it should come from someone who has the authority.

I think that all those who cannot control themselves and give in to provocations on the Internet are knowingly wrong. <...> Framing your team is stupid. It's prehistoric thinking.

The conflict between the cybersportsmen became known on October 6. According to ATF, SoNNeikO threatened to hit him. Butaev's team received a penalty from the organizers of PGL Wallachia 2024 Season 2 for bonus time at the draft. Team Falcons later demanded that the PGL take stricter measures against SoNNeikO.
