KingR and Nongrata suspended from covering The International 11
Two Russian Esportmen, Alexey "nongrata" Vasilyev and Rinat "KingR" Abdullin, are suspended from the coverage of The International 11. Representatives of FISSURE confirmed the information.
The official reason for the suspension of Esportsmen is unknown. It is likely due to an incident that occurred in the summer. Before the ranking match, players drew the symbol "Z" using the game's interface. A video with this incident was viral after the studio announced the coverage of The International 11.
Earlier, ??Dmitry "finargot" Plyusnin and ??Vladimir "PGG" Anosov were excluded from the Russian caster studio. The reasons for this decision have also not been officially announced.
Tomorrow, October 8, begins the Last Chance tournament, and immediately after it, The International 11 starts. The strongest teams from around the world fight for the $13,276,892 prize.
