Support player Edgar '9Class' Naltakyan from Tundra Esports will join the Russian-speaking casting team for The International 2024. A bundle featuring his voice lines has been added to Dota 2.
The bundle includes phrases such as “I want to tip you, no negativity” and “Who wants a slap?” referencing a recent action by Dmitry 'Fishman' Polishchuk at the Riyadh Masters 2024.
Later, Naltakyan commented on his inclusion among the Russian-speaking talents at The International 2024, noting that in life, unexpected things happen, but everything that happens is for the best.
