Ilya "Illidan" Pivtsaev, currently a streamer of Team Spirit, has recently confirmed that he has no intention of returning to the Dota 2 professional arena, because he no longer believes he can win The International - the most prestigious award of this game.

Speaking in the livestream on Twitch, Illidan said:

"If I don't believe that I can win the championship, then I will not join any team. *** What do I need to do? And because I'm sure I can't win as a player - *** Why do I try to do and ruin everything for others?"

🔥 Reasons not returning professional:

Illidan no longer believes in the possibility of winning his own championship.

He did not want to affect the collective spirit or hinder those who still desire to play.

He admitted that there was no reason to return to the pressure environment.

🧠 A practical and self -respectful Illidan:

Despite being one of the top players of CIS with a unique gameplay and personality, Illidan has chosen a more appropriate path - streaming and commenting, where he continues to stick with Dota 2 but in a gentle and inspiring way.
