Mateus "KingJungles" Diniz, support player for team Heroic, dramatically refused to shake hands with Edgar "9Class" Naltakyan after the match that PARIVISION won at BLAST Slam 1.

This moment was broadcast live on the tournament's official Twitch channel.

During the broadcast, members of the PARIVISION team approached the Heroic players to perform the traditional handshake ceremony. However, when 9Class approached KingJungles, this support player clearly waved his hand and signaled 9Class to ignore him, not performing the handshake.

The esports community had mixed reactions to this action. Many viewers expressed dissatisfaction with KJ's attitude, but some also defended him. Some opinions say that KJ refused to shake hands because of unhealthy behavior during the match from his opponent. However, both teams have not commented on the incident yet.

Notably, 9Class once revealed that he was removed from the squad by Tundra Esports because of Martin "Saksa" Sazdov's return to the Dota 2 professional arena.
