Magomed “Collapse” Khalilov is one of the best players of Steam mainstay DOTA 2. With “Team Spirit”, the 19-year-old Russian won “The International 2021”, the huge world championship with a prize pool of over 40 million $. But now allegations have arisen that the 19-year-old cheated on and left his pregnant girlfriend.
How significant was the World Cup victory?
- “The International” is the most lucrative e-sports event ever. “The International 2021” took place in October last year in Bucharest. 18 of the best DOTA teams in the world competed against each other from October 7 to 17, 2021.
- In total, over 40 million US dollars were at stake. The high prize money comes together because 25% of the sales from the DOTA 2 Battle Pass go into the prize pool. And DOTA 2 is a huge game on Steam.
- The Russian “Team Spirit”, which won the World Cup 2021, bagged a prize of over 18 million US dollars. Even Putin congratulated them on the victory. Collapse, who plays position 3 in the team, had a big payday. Position 3 is known as the “Offlaner”, who is supposed to ruin the opponent team’s plans.
Ex-girlfriend says the pro changed drastically after World Cup victory
What does his girlfriend accuse him of? A few days ago, an Instagram post by Collapse’s ex-girlfriend appeared in Russian.
She writes: In their relationship, everything had been okay until Collapse won The International. That had “drastically changed” her boyfriend – they had started arguing more frequently, he had become more aggressive, and had also started to “push her roughly.”
Nonetheless, she was happy for him because it had always been his dream to win The International. But now it became evident that he was completely different in-game than in real life.
She decided to go back to Kazakhstan for a while. Collapse cheated on and left her within a week, even though he knew she was pregnant.
The story of Collapse reminds one of Sinatraa, one of the best Overwatch players of all time. He, too, faced accusations from his ex-girlfriend after a great success:
Blizzard distances itself from the former best Overwatch player in the world
She writes that she never thought he was really that kind of man. However, she does not want to create any negativity or evoke pity now.
These were the reactions: The story was also spread over Twitter in the English-speaking network:
- Many comments lean towards “Money corrupts character”.
- It is said that money turns “people into demons”
- Others say: There are also players like Topson, who have won The International twice and used the money to build a wonderful family
Player says: Situation was very different, wants to take care of the child
This is how Collapse reacts: The player says the situation is very different (via twitter). In fact, there had been issues in the relationship for a long time; he had tried to break up with her months ago, even before he knew she was carrying his child. During that time, they actually argued often, but he never became physical.
According to Collapse, they had mutually agreed that they were too young to become parents and therefore wanted to terminate the pregnancy. However, his girlfriend continued the pregnancy in secret. This made Collapse angry – his ex-girlfriend then posted these chat messages. In the past, Collapse had to protect his girlfriend from harm because she was on the verge of harming herself.
Ultimately, Collapse says he agreed to take care of the child.
