Former player of the StoRm Dota 2 roster, Akbar "SoNNeikO" Butaev, shared his plans. The esports athlete intends to start streaming, as he's grown weary of the professional scene.
"I'm tired of the pro scene. I'll definitely be streaming for two to three months, and then we'll see." - Akbar "SoNNeikO" Butaev
Butaev has not competed on the pro scene since September 2023. His last team was StoRm. The team's main achievement was winning the European Pro League Season 12 championship, for which he earned $5,000.
After the tournament ended, the players on the roster went their separate ways to different clubs, but Butaev stayed on without seeking new teammates. Prior to this, there was a conflict within the team involving Daniil "deyouth" Sidorov. He was accused of fraud and subsequently kicked from the team. This incident may have also affected the team's future collaborations.
