Esports athlete Zaur "Cooman" Shakhmurzaev commented on Russian-speaking players in Dota 2 during a personal Twitch stream, with the segment shared on the Telegram channel LEGENDWP.
He noted that it's surprising that some people still believe Russian players are inferior. According to him, the situation has changed significantly; whereas in the past there were issues with Russian players underperforming, the current top players are Russian-speaking.
Previously, Cooman also remarked that former esports player Yonuț "Ar1sE" Turtoi performs better on Magnus than Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov. He explained that while Magnus is generally a poor hero unless played by someone like Collapse or Ar1sE, Ar1sE's skill with Magnus is superior to that of Collapse. However, he acknowledged that Collapse is considered the best player in the world on this hero, whereas Ar1sE is primarily known as a streamer.
