In his recent interview for Konstantin “Leniniw” Sivko's podcast, Eugene Konoplyanka, co-founder of KONO.ECF, revealed more details about the negotiations with Preasy Esport. He noted that Preasy Esport at that time consisted of experienced players, including the legendary Peter “dupreeh” Rothmann. This was a serious option for KONO.ECF, as the signing of such a roster could immediately increase the team's reputation and status in the international arena.
Motivation to support Ukrainian esports
One of the key reasons why KONO.ECF ultimately refused to sign an international roster was the desire to support the Ukrainian esports scene. Konoplyanka emphasized that it was important for him to give Ukrainian players a chance to prove themselves at the international level. Refusing to sign the dupreeh roster in favor of ex-ENEIDA was a strategic decision aimed at developing the national esports scene.
