Nikita “Munkushi~” Chepurnykh, a Dota 2 player for 1win Team, has responded to questions regarding his behavior in public matches. Chepurnykh addressed the criticism in a brief English interview following a match at FISSURE Universe: Episode 4.
[Question: “Players criticize you for being toxic in public matches, what do you say?”] I wouldn`t say that I`m toxic, I don`t even know. Maybe it happens sometimes, I don`t know, I might say a couple of words when I`m in a bad mood, but generally, it happens once every twenty games. I`m trying to fix it.
FISSURE Universe: Episode 4 is taking place online, with 16 teams competing for a $500,000 prize pool.
