Dota 2 streamer and analyst Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov speculated on the future of Aleksey "Solo" Berezin. He believes that the support player will try to remain a player or become a coach.
"Is it clear if Alexey plans to play, coach, or stream? He sat on all three chairs in his short post. <...>
Let's assume Maelstorm's trolling turns out to be true. Alexey's return to his roots would be a beautiful story. Virtus.pro gives him good resources, and he forms a decent roster because he can buy players. Then, I think, Alexey will keep playing.
Or he might be invited to a good team. Spirit is currently winning their third International in a row, and Miposhka says, 'Alright guys, I'm done, it's time to retire.' Spirit would then need a 'five,' and they invite Solo. He would keep playing then too.
Maybe he'll be offered to coach a good team. If none of that happens, then he'll get into streaming after resting. That's how I understand this post. <...> Then he can also join 'StarPerHub.' We always welcome untalented 'fives' here." Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov commented.
On July 12, 9Pandas benched Berezin and put him up for transfer. It is unknown who will replace him. Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov mentioned that the support player received an invitation from Virtus.pro.
Solo also released a post about his future plans. For now, he wants to take a break but later plans to find a new team.
