Caster Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov commented on the conflict between Edgar "9Class" Naltakyan and Dmitry "Fishman" Polishchuk. He believes that such situations should not end in physical altercations.
"I don't understand people with the stance, 'Why did he run to complain immediately?' What else should you do in such a situation? You're playing in a tournament, and your opponent is violating your personal boundaries. Responding in kind? Great. Not only will you get physical retaliation, but will also get a moral blow in the form of a fine. And what if you don't want to touch the other participant at all?
In a civilized world, the only response that allows you to remain innocent and still punish the offender is to report it to a judge. This applies not only in 'Dota' but in life. Yes, such an opportunity is not always available, and sometimes you have to run, defend yourself, etc. Sometimes those who are supposed to restore justice can also act unfairly. But we are not talking about those cases now, we are talking about a situation where a person could respond without getting their hands dirty, and he did. I think it's all correct.
If both want to fight, there are no questions. But it's better to go to the ring, arm wrestling, pillow fight, wrestling in trunks, Boosty, closed telegram channels,sold или is selling now rights to TNT. If in your world the one who 'hit first' is always right, I recommend watching South Park," Maelstorm explained.
Earlier, 9Class revealed why the organizers of Riyadh Masters 2024 fined Fishman $8,000. Polishchuk insulted Naltakyan and yanked his shoulder.
