Yaroslav NS Kuznetsov criticized the Paragon studio, which installed a dance pole during the official broadcast of the qualification for The International 2026.
NSIt seems like the producer of the Paragon broadcast is going through puberty.
The commentator clarified that he does not mind moderate sexualization of content, but considered what was happening to be an obvious overstep.
NSI don't see anything particularly wrong with light sexualization of content, but this is some kind of excess.
According to him, the trend of adding "salaciousness, hints, and objectification on screen" is incompatible with the format of an official esports event and the game Dota 2. NS expressed his final impression in one word: "Cringe."
The qualification broadcast was conducted in a separate stream, but the incident elicited reactions from both experienced and new audiences.
