NS commented on TORONTOTOKYO's preparation, calling him a mediocre player

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov said that he does not consider Alexander “Torontotokyo” Hertek to be a very strong player, despite winning the TI, but does not rule out that his potential may be better revealed in the Aurora squad.

The streamer shared a relevant opinion on twitch .

“TorontoTokyo is an average player, not really a badass. Yes, he won Int, he did good, but to me he's still not a very cool player.

Not a super cool player in any role is not a super cool player. That's my opinion. Only time will tell if we are right or wrong in this situation. Maybe Aurora will start taking it out really hard now.”

Content Maker agreed that Alexander “Torontotokyo” Hertek plays better than many members of professional teams, but finds it telling that, after Team Spirit won TI c Torontotokyo, the team was able to win another tournament in the series by replacing the player with Denis “Larl” Sigitov.

“It's 100 percent. Don't forget that TorontoTokyo replaced Larl in Spirit and the team won the Int again. He was not replaced by No[o]ne. It turns out that it was possible to replace TorontoTokyo, but globally nothing would have changed.”

At the same time, Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov is not in a hurry to underestimate the merits of Alexander “Torontotokyo” Hertek, but emphasizes that replacing other members of the Team Spirit roster would have had a stronger impact on the team's game.

Earlier, Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov explained why he considers Wang “Ame” Chunyu to be a mediocre player whose achievements are overrated in the community.
