“When there are such attacks on the country and a person wants to change their nationality, then, of course, it’s treason. If you want to change, please change, but don’t come in anymore. Russia. I really hope that the number of athletes and esports who will change their nationality will be very small, because the people of our country are patriotic”, quotes Teryushkov Cybersport.Metaratings.ru.
