Passion UA midlaner Bogdan "Iceberg" Vasylenko shared his opinion on Nikita "Daxak" Kuzmin, comparing him to a robotic dog.
"What do I think of Daxak? Have you seen those robot dogs? That's pretty much what he is. A programmed bot that can sit and give a paw. That's Daxak." - Bogdan "Iceberg" Vasylenko
Previously, Vasylenko expressed hope that Daxak would never coach teams again. Under Kuzmin's leadership, PSG Quest failed to make it to the playoffs of The International 2023, finishing in 17th-20th place.
In March 2024, Daxak played for Ninja Penguins in the closed qualifiers for the Elite League in Western Europe. The team did not secure a slot in the tournament, reaching the semifinals of the lower bracket in the qualifiers.
