Edgar "9Class" Naltakyan from the Western European team Tundra Esports discussed the arrival of Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev to their roster.
He shared that he previously played with Tobi, who was a fun and uplifting presence in the team but posed some difficulties in drafting. Tobi's hero pool was sometimes banned, which created challenges for the team. When Vanek (Pure) brought RAMZES666 on board, everyone agreed with the decision. RAMZES666 brought a similar positive energy to the team as Tobi, frequently giving fist bumps and motivating the team before matches. Despite initial impressions from his streams suggesting he might be toxic, Naltakyan found him to be very cool and friendly.
Naltakyan also mentioned that RAMZES666's performance on the "offlane" role was initially challenging. He recalled helping RAMZES666 with hero picks, particularly on Doom, and that they sometimes had to abandon certain heroes when they didn’t work out. Although RAMZES666’s hero pool is not as extensive as Tobi's, he has made a significant impact with the heroes he is comfortable with.
Naltakyan believed that RAMZES666 has found his preferred heroes and is now confident in drafts, often expressing his readiness to carry with specific heroes.
Earlier, Naltakyan also commented on Tundra Esports' victory over Team Falcons in the playoff stage of The International 2024.
