Former mid-laner of the Eastern European team BetBoom Team, Danil "gpk" Skutin, explained during a personal Twitch stream why he is not participating in the BetBoom Streamers Battle 8.
"I’m not feeling the vibe of Streamers Battle. Everyone seems to get mad at each other there. Some people tryhard, others get annoyed. If I had assembled my team, maybe I would have joined. But overall, I just don’t enjoy it."
Previously, during another Twitch stream, Skutin also shared why he decided to take a break from Dota 2.
When asked why he felt burned out from Dota, he said,
"I just started enjoying the game less. When you don’t win and spend so much time on it... it’s a bit discouraging, to put it simply. I think I’ll come back at some point. What am I up to now? Going for walks, dining out, going to the gym, spending time with my girlfriend. What else? That’s pretty much it. I’m also playing Valorant and CS2."
