Pure: "What makes a CIS derby spicier? Your former teammates, obviously" Interview
2025-04-23 12:45:00BetBoom Team player Ivan "Pure" Moskalenko answered if they have any tension between them and Aurora Gaming's players. He stated there were no issues and all the in-game actions should be considered "pure CIS fun." The carry explained this in a post-match interview at PGL Wallachia S4.
If CIS meets CIS, it's always going crazy. You know, like when we played against Parivision at ESL One Raleigh, against Spirit or everyone else. And what makes it spicier than that? Your former teammates, obviously. And we got three of them, of course, it's spicy. Everyone has a similar way of playing Dota, and it makes it funnier. Everyone knows what is about to happen. If you're talking about beefs, currently, there are none at all. This is pure fun and enjoyment of CIS.
At the end of the match, Pure tipped Egor "Nightfall" Grigorenko. He also dived into the fountain in the second game, which possibly led to their loss and caused the decider to be played. Pure explained that he was very tired.
Honestly, I'm quite tired because all these games were intense. Also we arrived here a long ago. For some reason, PGL wants us to arrive 2-3 hours before a match. It was a long day, and I'm kind a tired. But I hope everyone enjoyed the game.
