Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov, Team Spirit manager, stated that Neta “33” Shapira, Tundra Esports offlaner, has always been considered a strong player, but used to be very toxic.

He revealed this during a broadcast on Twitch.

“33 has always been considered a very strong player all his life, ever since OpTic Gaming . What's the point: back in 2017, 33 was a horrible toxic player. I didn't hold a candle to it, but all the professional players around me were screaming about it. Because he was already super strong back then, and everyone wondered why a strong man like 33 was roughly playing with Keyser , with j4 , with Swiftending and so on. And everyone said that he was incredibly toxic, it's just impossible to play with him”

Korb3n noted that he wasn't convinced of this himself, but many pro-players noted that the big name player was extremely toxic in 2017. According to him, this is what prevented 33 from breaking through to strong teams, despite the fact that he was considered a great player even back then.

However, things have changed now and many players emphasize that 33 is quite comfortable to play with and he is a responsive and kind teammate.
