Ilya this, Ilya that

I clicked the stats tab by accident and seen the player by the name of Anq at the very top. He is playing for an Indian org S8UL Esports as a Russian and is a strong player for whatever tier he's in. His name is Ilya Matyash.

What is with Russians being named Ilya and being a good player? You have something from PRX, vo0kashu from DRX, and now Anq from S8UL.

Also I'm curious if there are any Russians here, is Ilya a common name there the same way Nguyen is a common last name in Vietnam?

If there is an Esports Nation Cup after our upcoming one and Russia is able to present itself, I want a whole team of Ilyas.

Nguyen is a surname in Vietnam and Ilya is a first name in Russia I believe.

They were probably all produced in a lab and sent around the world to aim diff noobs.

Most first names are unique in China, but I believe like 80% of people have the same 100 surnames and half have the same 10 surnames. So more like Nguyen
