Sh4dowehhh: “RAMZES666 may not play [anywhere] so that he will be fine”

Analyst and part-time streamer Evgeny 'Sh4dowehhh' Alekseev, as part of the podcast “NO ROFLOV” with Nikita '4ce' Kotkov, speculated that in Dota 2 esportsmen can easily lose everything and they need to upgrade their media component so that after their career they can Earn Money.

The reason for such discussions was a recent video by Ilya 'Lil' Ilyuk, who won Major tournaments with Virtus.pro in his best days. In this video, a native of Ukraine said that his earnings after leaving HellRaisers amounted to $0, and not every player can get good money in this esports discipline.

Evgeniy cited Ilyuk as the main example of the fact that you can lose everything in one moment:

It's easy to lose everything in Dota. There is a live example - Lil, who writes TikTok: "I made zero dollars in three months, what should I do?". Says: "Don't play Dota". Damn, Lil was just in Virtus.pro, everything was fine with him, but he was already so disappointed in everything.

Alekseev paid special attention to the importance of the media component. In contrast to Lil, he introduced Roman 'RAMZES666' Kushnarev, who can get a good job without playing in any club:

Whatever they put in, they earned. Because people who, at the peak of their popularity, downloaded their media in the right direction, everything is fine with them. Here is RAMZES666 - he may not play somewhere in the team, but he did something so that he was doing well. And someone did not do it and then sits: "There is no money."

Alekseev did not stop at examples and moved on to ex-player of Natus Vincere Akbar Butaev. According to Sh4dowehhh, SoNNeikO had a lot of chances to develop the media component, which could help him a lot at the moment:

If you are called to give some kind of interview, it is better to give this interview. Take the same SoNNeikO. Sorry, he had a hundred thousand million chances to take his media to the skies. That is, in terms of SoNNeikO’s recognition, everyone knows, but in terms of the media part, he lived through the interview all his life, and at the end of 2021, he inflated and came to the Olsior podcast. I suddenly realized: "Damn, I've been stuck for seven years. I could give one interview every two months, and people would already have fun."

Take The International. Stream SoNNeikO and Mag on "Inta" was watched conditionally by 50 people. That is, there are people who can tell useful things, but since they did}} }} }}[nothing]for this, then 50 of them will be watching.

Most of all, Evgenia is surprised that Akbar Butaev is a rather interesting person who could give good interviews and improve his media component without any problems, and not stiff and very modest as many might think:

I talked with SoNNeikO in real life - he is generally a super-normal dude. I thought he was so-and-so, strange - and not a damn thing like that. Even more than normal. Therefore, I was surprised. He just hid from all of us what he can do. I hid it for a very long time, but I had to reveal all the cards in advance.
