Analyst Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov commented on Virtus.pro's exit from the qualifiers for The International 2024 in Dota 2. He expressed surprise at how drastically the team's performance had declined over just a few weeks.
NS pointed out, "Virtus.pro has really embarrassed themselves. I don't know what happened to the team that was playing decently just a couple of weeks ago. There's no game plan at all. I can barely call their first map against L1GA 'Dota.' It felt like a disbanding happened right in the middle of the match, and everyone just stopped caring. They pulled themselves together a bit for the second game, but it still wasn't enough. And this isn't even the final qualifier, it's just the third round of the losers' bracket. Wow."
He added that YeS looked solid, expressing his approval of their performance and suggesting that their chances for securing a spot in the tournament seemed promising.
Virtus.pro was eliminated from the qualifiers for The International 2024 after losing to the L1GA Team. This marks the first time the organization will miss the tournament series since 2022.
