Saksa's Departure from Tundra Esports
Martin "Saksa" Sazdov, a former player for Tundra Esports, recently disclosed the reasons behind his departure from the organization following The International (TI) 2025. In a statement, he revealed that personal conflicts with teammate Neta "33" Shapira were the primary factors influencing his decision to leave the team.
The Impact of Team Dynamics
Saksa expressed that the deteriorating relationship with 33 significantly affected the team's atmosphere, making collaboration between them impossible. He stated, "I had personal issues with one of the team members, 33. That was probably the main reason I left. I truly could no longer play on this team. The team atmosphere was essentially dead. The bridges were burned, and playing together was no longer an option."
Lack of Detailed Insight
Despite outlining the reasons for his departure, Saksa chose not to disclose specific details regarding the conflicts that transpired. As of now, 33 has not publicly commented on Saksa's statements or the situation surrounding their relationship.
After Tundra: New Beginnings with Team Yandex
Saksa's exit from Tundra Esports was one of the most surprising player transfers after TI 2025, prompting speculation about the motivations behind the departure of one of the world's top support players. His comments confirm that his decision was not driven by performance issues or strategic changes within the team, but rather by irreparable personal relationships.
After leaving Tundra Esports, Saksa joined Team Yandex, taking on the role of team captain. This decision has proven fruitful, as under his leadership, Team Yandex quickly emerged as a strong contender in the competitive Dota 2 scene. The team has achieved various successes, further solidifying Saksa's reputation as one of the most experienced support players in professional Dota 2.
As of the publication of this article, Neta "33" Shapira has yet to provide an official statement regarding Saksa's claims. The exact reasons for their personal conflict and when it began remain unclear, leaving the complete timeline of issues within Tundra Esports undisclosed to the public. Nonetheless, Saksa's assertions are the first confirmation that internal conflicts were indeed the primary reason for the breakdown of the collaboration between the two players, who had previously enjoyed considerable success together at Tundra Esports.
