Aurora Gaming player Yegor Nightfall Grigorenko shared his psychological experiences related to frequent defeats just shy of championship titles. In an interview for OFFSTAGE on YouTube, he noted that silver medals inflict the most painful blow to a player's mental state.
NightfallI wouldn't say I deserved to win tournaments before Tundra Esports. Recently, I blamed bad luck, but I tried not to dwell on it. It's unpleasant to take second place: you get upset when you're one step away from victory. Over time, it's easier to cope with defeats, but after second places, you need more time to recover.
Previously, Nightfall admitted to comparisons with Team Falcons player Ilya m0NESY Osipov due to a series of failures in finals. Following the defeat in DreamLeague Season 29, the carry created a profile in a self-ironic style.
Let us remind you that Nightfall previously explained that he is "m0NESY of the Dota 2 world" due to eight lost finals.
