Dota 2 coach Kirill “Alagon” Pavlik shared the reason for Denis “Larl” Sigitov`s departure from the team “Paseka.” According to the coach, the mid-laner refused to play in the same team with Arslan “xannii” Shadzhanov, despite sponsors trying to persuade the esports player.
Sponsors from BetBoom were ready to offer Denis a $3,000 salary and an apartment in Moscow to keep the “Paseka” team roster together.
Denis, who was living in the north at that time and had personal issues, was offered $3,000 and an apartment in Moscow. But he told us: “No, guys, I don`t want to play with Rusik [Xannii].” He said he would rather work in a PC club, sweeping floors during the day and playing ranked games and boosting accounts at night. He said he would rather starve to death than play on the same team with Rusik, and he didn`t care what happened to him.
This was so impressive that Sasha [Nix] and I just sat in silence. I told him: “Well, good luck, Denchik, you are awesome.” And three months later, Denis was picked up by BetBoom Team, and then he won The International with Team Spirit.
Larl played for “Paseka” in 2021. The roster was announced before the qualifiers for the first DPC 2021/2022 tournament in the CIS region. In the second qualifier, the team reached the decisive matches but failed to take first place and get a slot in the second division.
