As reported in the team's Telegram channel, the esports organization decided to terminate the contract with the player after the incident that occurred in the match against Mind Games as part of the Dota Pro Circuit 2022 playoffs.

Moskalenko drew a Z on the mini-map during a pause at the beginning of the first game with Mind Games.

As a result, the results of the Russian team were annulled, and Mind Games will now take its place in the final of the upper bracket.

After the end of the meeting, the cybersportsman recorded a video message in which he stated that he accidentally drew a symbol and did not want to offend anyone.

Earlier, State Duma deputy Nikolai Valuev reacted to the removal of the Russian esports team Virtus.Pro from the Dota Pro Circuit 2022 tournament.
