After Vigoss recently missing out on the Dota Masters final due to visa issues, and his recent absence in league matches, his future is somewhat cloudy.People have asked questions lately about Vigoss' status in the Ks.Int roster, as he seems to be playing less and less. Eryc, the manager, has now released a statement with regards to the situation.
Due to Vigoss' somewhat large fanbase however, some of the comments posted have not been particularly supportive of the decisions made by Ks.int's manager. Never-the-less it must be recognised that the opinions are of the whole team, not just the management and a good team spirit is key to winning matches.
Below is the statement released by Eryc:

To summarize the statement, Eryc is shouting out to the fans to help motivate Vigoss to become the player he once was, and simply addressing the issue of why he has not been playing.
Vigoss' future in the team however still remains unclear, and without motivation we could well see both sides parting ways, as Ks.int seem to be doing just fine without him.

Below is the statement released by Eryc:
"The Truth about Vigoss.
In actual fact Vigoss isn't truly indispensable, as both Kuroky and Puppey are more than able to make up for it with their ganking abilities upfront. Presently, Vigoss isn't anywhere near his unbridled potential. Although I am trying my best to help him reach the bridge of perfection, his motivation for the game is simply non-existent. Sometimes, it is hard to understand what Russians are thinking.
All along, I have always been telling everyone nothing but the truth. Vigoss is not as perfect as we have all imagined him to be, and Puppey and I are still trying our very best to cater to his style. However, people are always attempting to avoid the truth when it stares right at them in the face. Time and time again, they manage to find a huge bunch of excuses for Vigoss. Frankly speaking, I don't really care if Vigoss has any fans or not (for other teams, they will definitely use him as a form of advertisement to promote their own team, and not dare to criticise him in any way). Vigoss himself is very clear that what I am looking for is someone who is able to co-exist and cooperate within the team. Everytime a problem occurs, I, as manager of Ks, will always point it out immediately, even if it is Vigoss who caused the problem. To be honest, I'm an avid fan of Vigoss myself. All along, I have supported him because I truly believe in what he can do as a player and that he can bring something special to the team. I am not supporting him just for the sake of it.
Kingsurf's motto has always been and will always be: "Only find a reason for victory, and no reason for failure." Being the manager of Kingsurf myself, if I do not admit what exactly is happening currently, Kingsurf would probably be in the same state like what Rush3D/DTS are in right now. (We should not always instantly relate big names to success, but base facts as evidence instead.)
Everything above will be the final and last time I am clarifying any facts or speculation surrounding Vigoss. Please stop asking me why Vigoss isn't playing in the main team. A month ago, Jolie's fans also asked me the same question. Jolie is different, as he is motivated and knows what he is doing, thus, one month later, I selected him to take up the main mantle of leadership in Ks.International. For now, everything else is entirely up to Vigoss, and if you guys really do mean him well, please stop finding excuses for him, and give him your blessings. I will let him know then."
