33于ESL直播畅谈2026利雅得大师赛
Tundra Esports队长33在ESL直播中直言，2026年利雅得大师赛的奖金池仅有200万美元，重要性已不如前，相当于几周内连赢BLAST和DreamLeague冠军。他虽强调赛事仍有声望且队伍已晋级，但不会过度担忧，并随即为这番直率言论向ESL道歉。
中文翻译
Tundra Esports队长Neta“33”Shapira坦言，他已不再将利雅得大师赛视作以往那般重要的赛事，并指出本届赛事奖金池相对缩水。随即，他便因这番过于坦诚的表态向ESL进行了致歉。
此番言论出自赛事运营方官方信号的直播画面。
“坦白讲，确实不算了。2026年电竞世界杯无疑是一届顶级盛会，我很享受在这里打比赛的氛围，但本次奖金池仅设200万美元。这感觉就像在短短两周内接连拿下BLAST和DreamLeague的赛事冠军。它已经不是最具战略重心的比赛了。抱歉在ESL直播间里说了这话。”
他透露，相较于往季规模，本届赛事奖金池现已缩减至200万美元。该选手同时强调，这依然是一笔相当可观的数目，但也指出其含金量大致相当于在数周内连夺两项顶级锦标赛。
“当然，所有选手依然渴望在这个最高舞台上亮相。毫无疑问，200万美元仍是天文数字，该项赛事也极具威望与分量。但这绝不意味着现在我们既然已经提前锁定正赛资格，就立刻对比赛漠不关心了。”
33进一步解释道，赛事本身的战略地位依旧不容置疑，只不过因为队伍已成功保送决赛阶段，大家的心态自然没那么紧绷了。颇具戏剧性的是，在这番言辞犀利、坦诚直白的发言过后，他当场便向ESL及广大观众郑重致歉。

33 said everything he thinks about Riyadh Masters 2026 live on ESL stream09:14, 16.05.2026
Neta “33” Shapira, captain of Tundra Esports , stated that he no longer considers Riyadh Masters to be as important of a tournament as before, pointing at the relatively small prize pool this year, after which he immediately apologized to ESL for such an honest opinion.
This happened live during the tournament operator’s broadcast .
“Honestly, no. Esports World Cup 2026 is a great tournament, I enjoy playing there, but this time there’s only 2 million dollars on the line. That’s like winning BLAST and DreamLeague championships within a couple of weeks. It’s not the most important tournament. Sorry for saying this on ESL stream.”
He pointed out that compared to previous seasons, the prize pool is now only 2 million dollars. The esports player emphasized that it is still a huge amount of money, but also highlighted that it equals winning two tournaments over the course of just a few weeks.
“Of course, everyone still wants to participate at this championship. Of course, 2 million dollars is still a huge amount, and this tournament is prestigious and important. But it’s not like now that we already qualified for it, we suddenly don’t care anymore.”
33 explained that the tournament is still important, but since the team already qualified, they are not overly worried about it. Interestingly enough, after such a sharp and honest statement, he apologized to ESL and the viewers right away.
