Yaroslav Vladimirovich Kuznetsov (September 24, 1988) is an esports player, a DotA player. Also known by the nickname NS. He started his career in 2005 as part of the SAY_PLZ team. On November 30, 2013, he announced his retirement, but on January 9, 2014, he resumed playing as part of the team Virtus.pro .

Website dota2.ru he calls him a legendary Dota 2 veteran in the CIS, one of the most experienced support in the world, and Сyberfight.ru he calls him one of the best support players in Russia.

The third player of the DTS team, who ended his career at the end of 2013

Ten-time champion of the ASUS Open tournaments, four-time champion of the MYM Prime Defending tournament, silver medalist of ESWC 2010.

Career history

According to his own words, Yaroslav got acquainted with the game by chance when his friend invited him to the Soyuz club on Leninsky Prospekt in Moscow. Such players as Sergey "Smile" Revin, "M.Admiration", "GET-LOST" started in the same club. There he played the Warcraft 3 DotA map for the fifth version for the first time. And his professional career began as part of the SAY_PLZ team, where he was called "HAN" and "Pro". There were very few tournaments at that time, and in one and a half to two years Yaroslav took part in the ASUS open Moscow tournament. The team became the winner only in the MYM Prime defending 1 tournament.

After leaving SAY_PLZ, Yaroslav joins the ranks of the maGe team, which ranks first at ASUS Winter 2007. Due to problems with sponsorship, the team changes its name and goes under the wing of the organization Virtus.pro .

Game transfers

For participation in the organization Virtus.pro Yaroslav earned five first places (2 of them at the ASUS Open) and one second place. In the summer of 2008, due to budget cuts, the dota division of the organization Virtus.pro it was disbanded, and Yaroslav moved to the Rush3D team, where he played until the fall with a star cast ("NS", "LighTofHeaveN", "pgg", "drag13", "qwerty"). In this line-up, they won all the ASUS open tournaments where they took part.

In 2009, Yaroslav leaves Rush3D and goes to China as part of the Platinum Sports team together with "Vigoss", "Smile", "PGG" and "Vein"). Soon after returning to Russia, the team broke up, and "NS" joined the Aeon.ru, and having won ASUS Autumn 2009, he goes to the RoX.KIS organization to participate in the monthly league in China, to which the dota division of the organization was going to go. In this competition, he meets Andrey "DreadisBack" Golubev. At the end of 2009, "NS" became the captain of the Russian national team and performed in MYM Nations, where the squad won. In addition, he participated in the Russian national team at ENC 2009, where Vladislav "blowyourbrain" Morozyuk was the captain, as an invited player together with "pgg" and "vigoss", but after reaching the playoffs they were disqualified together with the Danish team.

In 2010, Yaroslav joined the strongest, at that time, DTS team, where, at that time, there were only three players: Danil "Dendi" Ishutin, Ivan "ArtStyle" Antonov, Dmitry "LightTofHeaveN" Kupriyanov. "NS" offered its former "teammate" Andrey "Dread" Golubev. After problems with sponsorship, the team breaks up. "NS" as part of Garaj Gaming goes to the OSPL Spring 2011, where it takes first place.

In 2011, Yaroslav joined the Moscow Five team. Soon, the team is invited to The International 2011, where they take 5th place. Immediately after TI, due to conflicts, "NS" goes to Darer, where, together with the team, it does not achieve any results.

At the beginning of 2012 , Yaroslav moves to Virtus.pro , creating a new line-up from scratch and playing with Nikolai "AZEN" Belyakov, Alexander "Santa" Koltan, Kuro Salehi "KuroKy" Takhasomi, Andrey "Dread" Golubev. A little later, among a succession of changing players, he becomes the captain of the team, as the most experienced player, he himself repeatedly declares that he does not like this position. In September 2012, left alone with "Santa", they invite three young players: "kSi", "Illidan" and "Crazy". After replacing "Santa" with "Smile", they win at The Defense 2013 and after a while receive an invitation to participate in The International 2013, where they took 13th-16th place.

At the beginning of season 8 , StarLadder organization Virtus.pro , on its website, announces the end of the career of the player Yaroslav Kuznetsov. But already on January 9, 2014, a press release was released, telling that the fifth player of the team Virtus.pro becomes "NS".

Nickname

According to Yaroslav, NS is an abbreviation of Night Snaiper. And the nickname itself appeared 10-12 years before the release of "prodota" while playing Counter-Strike.

In addition, when Yaroslav played against Alexey "Solo" Berezin in a non-professional game, a curious case occurred: the "Solo" player killed Yaroslav in battle, and he wrote in response to the general game chat that "Solo" was "sweaty" (that is, meticulous in the game, playing well), he did not like the wording itself (although, later, it was often used by him and his entourage, for example, in streams on the site twitch.tv ) and he replied "with what first came to mind", calling him a Jack. After that, Yaroslav began, sometimes, to say goodbye, saying not "NS was with you", but "Jack". And in one of the invitation videos, they played a scene with blowyourbrain in the entrance, at the end of which a jack playing card gets into the focus of the camera.

Progress

Twice he took first place in the support nomination according to the GOSU Gamers website in 2010 and 2008.

Impact on esports

Shoots a lot of video guides.

I recorded an audio podcast on the topic: "How to get into esports". I wrote an article about how to play for support characters in the Dota game[68].

Repeatedly published on various websites with criticism and reviews of versions of the DotA and Dota 2 game scenario. In particular, he explained that Roshan causes an imbalance in the game by his position in the territory of darkness, or by the fact that he is reborn after death in 10 minutes.

In March 2013, Yaroslav was part of Virtus.pro He was supposed to play a match with the RoX.KIS team as part of the EMS Raidcall Cup, but due to the long delay of the latter, he announces a decision that failure to attend the match will mean (according to the rules) a technical defeat. At the same time, RoX.KIS did not come to the match because they were busy playing with the mousesports team in the framework of the low-prestige Ritmix RDL league and had to leave the game urgently because of the announced ultimatum.

Before the VIII season of the StarLadder tournament in a blog on the organization's website Virtus.pro he wrote a critical article about the tournament, where he pointed out that organizations with their teams and the tournament organizers themselves need to work more closely, because some cannot exist without others. And he compared the tournament itself with the now-defunct ASUS open cup, noting that if nothing changes, then StarLadder will face the same fate.

Scott Braden Cawthon (born June 4, 1978) is an American former video game developer and writer. He is the creator of the Five Nights at Freddy's media franchise, which began with the development of the eponymous survival horror game in 2014. Released independently, the game achieved popularity and obtained a cult following. Cawthon developed 10 games in the main series from 2014 until his retirement in 2021, in addition to three spin-offs. He also wrote several stories based on Five Nights at Freddy's, including the novel The Silver Eyes" (2015).

Early life and work

Cawthon was born in Houston, Texas on June 4, 1978. He is a devout Christian. He currently lives in Salado, Texas, with his wife and five sons.

Cawthon's career in game design and animation began in the 1990s. Cawthon revealed his first game (titled Doofas) during a live stream; he made the game when he was a child. This game later became a troll game as the "demo" of Ultimate Custom Night. His first official games were released in the early 2000s, one of the earliest known being RPG Max, released in 2002. He later joined Hope Animation, where he created animations for children based on Christian values.

On March 19, 2007, Cawthon uploaded the first part of an eight-part series titled The Pilgrim's Progress to his YouTube channel, which was released as a full-length film on DVD two years prior. The animation is a retelling of John Bunyan's novel of the same name.After releasing The Pilgrim's Progress, Cawthon developed several games, including Sit N' Survive, Chipper and Sons Lumber Co., and The Desolate Hope. Some of these were submitted to Steam Greenlight. While The Desolate Hope made it through the process, some games, most notably Chipper and Sons Lumber Co., were heavily criticized by prominent reviewers for having characters that moved and interacted with each other like animatronic machines. While initially discouraged, almost to the point of stopping game development completely, Cawthon eventually decided to use the animatronic-like characters to his advantage, sparking the development of Five Nights at Freddy's.

It contains character profiles, easter eggs, tips on playing the games, and theories sprouted from the franchise.

On December 26, 2017, Cawthon released the second guidebook for Five Nights at Freddy's called Survival Logbook. Unlike previous book releases, Survival Logbook has no listed Amazon Kindle editions, implying that it has pages designed for physical writing as opposed to simply reading from a device. The book, disguised as a normal children's activity book, contains many things to do, including a word search, grid drawing, and fill-in-the-blank activities, however, all of these were found to hold secrets involving the lore.

On June 26, 2018, the third novel in the Five Nights at Freddy's book series, Five Nights at Freddy's: The Fourth Closet, was revealed on Amazon.com and was slated for release that same day.

On December 26, 2019, the first book in the eleven-book series, Fazbear Frights #1: Into the Pit was released on Amazon.com in Kindle & Paperback formats. The next ten books also had their release dates and titles announced over time.

Planned film

Warner Bros. Pictures announced in April 2015 that it had acquired the rights to adapt the series to film. Roy Lee, David Katzenberg, and Seth Grahame-Smith were set to produce. Grahame-Smith stated that they would collaborate with Cawthon "to make an insane, terrifying and weirdly adorable movie". In July 2015, Gil Kenan signed to direct the adaptation and co-write it with Tyler Burton Smith.

In January 2017, Cawthon stated that partially due to "problems within the movie industry as a whole", the film "was met with several delays and roadblocks" and it was "back at square one", but he promised "to be involved with the movie from day one this time, and that's something extremely important to me. I want this movie to be something that I'm excited for the fanbase to see."

In March 2017, Cawthon tweeted a picture at Blumhouse Productions, suggesting the film had a new production company. In May 2017, producer Jason Blum confirmed the news, claiming he was excited and working closely with Cawthon on the adaptation. In June 2017, Gil Kenan said he was no longer directing the Five Nights at Freddy's film after Warner Bros. Pictures' turnaround.[non-primary source needed] On February 13, 2018, Blumhouse Productions revealed on Twitter that Chris Columbus would be working on the film as a director, alongside producing it with Blum and Cawthon.

In August 2018, Scott Cawthon posted a Steam forum, in which he states that the movie will be based on the first game and that if second and third movies are made, they will be based on the second and third game, respectively. Later that same month, Blum tweeted that the film had a planned release window of 2020. In November 2018, Cawthon announced that the film's script had been scrapped and it would be further delayed.

On November 20, 2020, Cawthon made a post on Reddit discussing the several scrapped screenplays for the film, followed by the announcement that the film does have a finished screenplay and will begin filming in spring 2021. However, Blum revealed in September 2021 that the film still had script issues and that Columbus was no longer attached to the project as director.

In November 2019, Cawthon announced that he would be creating a game specifically for a fundraising event for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital hosted by MatPat, who would play the game with fellow YouTubers Dawko and Markiplier on a live stream. The game, Freddy in Space 2, was released December 3 on Game Jolt, and included dollar amounts hidden throughout that dictated how much Cawthon would donate following the stream. He boasted that a total of $500,000 was available to find, but warned that it was difficult and that he doubted they'd be able to find it all, as his playtester had taken five hours to complete the game. Originally, the game had a two-hour slot to be featured in the live stream; however, Markiplier continued playing after the stream had ended and managed to find a final hidden $100,000 that raised the total donation figure to $451,200. Cawthon went on to donate the full $500,000 to St. Jude's.

On June 10, 2021, Cawthon trended on Twitter when his publicly available political donations were shared on Twitter. Barring a donation to Democratic representative Tulsi Gabbard, all the donations were to Republican candidates and organizations. Cawthon subsequently confirmed in a statement posted on Reddit that he is a Republican and that he has made significant financial donations in support of conservative political candidates, while also describing himself as pro-life. He also claimed that after the donations were uncovered, he had been doxed and had received threats of violence and home invasion. While the reaction to Cawthon's Reddit post was positive, reaction was mixed on social media sites like Twitter, where some members of the LGBTQ+ community reacted negatively. Days after the donations were discovered, Cawthon announced that he was retiring from professional game development, with plans to choose someone to oversee the Five Nights at Freddy's series after his retirement.

Danil Ishutin (Ukrainian: Данило Ішутін; born December 30, 1989), better known as Dendi, is a Ukrainian professional Dota 2 player. He is best known for his time with Natus Vincere (Na'Vi) for whom he played between 2010 and 2018. He left Na'Vi in 2018 and formed his own Dota 2 organization in 2020, known as B8.

He is one of the most popular esportsmen of our time. Gabe Newell, creator of Valve, named him World's Most Charismatic Player.

Early years

Was born in Lviv. As a child, at the insistence of his mother-musician, he played the piano, as well as acrobatics and dancing. As Danil told, the first computer in their house was his brother's, who did not allow him to play for a long time. Gaming world was opened to him by Quake and Doom. Dendi later began playing Warcraft III at local computer clubs. The total fascination with computer games was influenced by the death of Danil's father from cancer. According to the recollections of Danil Ishutin, games became an attempt to distract himself.

In 2011, Danil Ishutin graduated from the Ukrainian Academy of Printing.

Career

In 2006, Dendi started playing professionally with WG. He was a part of the Ukraine squad that finished third in MYM Prime Nations the same year. Only a few months later, WG made it to the grand final of one of the most prestigious tournaments that existed at the time, MYM Prime Defending. When Kingsurf.international merged with WG the next year, he became a full-time member of Ks.int. In late 2008, he joined DTS in its early stages, only to return to Ks.int in March 2009. Only three months later he returned to DTS, helping them secure a second-place victory at ESWC 2010. At the end of the year, Dendi achieved arguably the greatest success in his DotA career by finishing 3rd place in the most stacked tournament at the time, WDC 2010. Dendi joined Natus Vincere (Na'Vi) at the end of 2010 together with ArtStyle.

Dendi began his Dota 2 career with the Ukrainian team, Na'Vi, rapidly rising to fame after winning The International 2011. In the following years, Na'Vi continued to win many tournaments, including runner's up at The International 2012. TI2 became the main reason to bond Danil with "Pudge" (Dota 2 game character), later Valve and Dendi released in-game set for this hero with Danil's personal sign. At The International 2013, Na'Vi became the only team to participate in the grand finals of the prestigious tournament three years in a row. They fell short to winners Alliance (3-2 in bo5) in the grand finals. Dendi was one of three Dota 2 players featured in the 2014 documentary Free to Play, which covered his story leading up to and including his performance at The International 2011.

At The International 2017, Dendi played in two live one-on-one demonstration matches against an OpenAI machine-learned bot, losing both. In September 2018, he was taken off Na'Vi's active roster before being officially released from his contract a year later. In January 2020, Dendi announced the formation of his own organization, B8.
