Lil on Tundra Esports' Challenges: Balancing Roles and Responsibilities

Support player Ilya "Lil" Ilyuk reflected on the difficulties within the Tundra Esports roster for Dota 2. He believes that Ivan "Pure~" Moskalenko faces a tough task playing as a carry while also shouldering captaincy duties.

"It's because he has teammates who have never been to tournaments before. 9Class, even Tobi hasn't played much at LAN events. And Pure~ took on captaincy duties as well. Imagine, you've never been a captain before. And now you're drafting, leading, and farming creeps on Luna, all while avoiding feeding. Plus, you're playing against BetBoom Team and Team Falcons.

I think there's a lot of pressure on him, especially since it's new to him. When he was with the BetBoom Team, it was easier. Everyone talks there, except maybe gpk~. But here, I don't think Topson tells him what to do. Judging by True Sight, he mostly plays silently." - Ilya "Lil" Ilyuk

Tundra Esports secured third place at ESL One Birmingham 2024. The team lost to Team Falcons with a score of 0:2, earning $120,000.
