Team Spirit streamer Ilya "Illidan" Pivtsaev criticized Virtus.pro for their performance at the Riyadh Masters 2024 in Dota 2. He believes that winning the tournament in Riyadh was not a priority for the team.
Illidan said, "Virtus.pro didn't even try at the tournament. My rage is mainly linked to this. I don't really like teams that don't want to play together. They don't trust each other, and teams like that annoy me. I know everyone has such periods. But you literally have the toughest tournament of the year."
On July 7, Virtus.pro was eliminated from Riyadh Masters 2024 after losing to MOUZ in the decider 0:2. The team couldn't earn a playoff slot. VP finished 17th-18th and earned $25,000. This is the worst result among all Eastern European representatives.
