Friends, I'm happy to introduce our new cooking show!
  It's called "Virtus.Borscht," because you guys frequently order borscht whenever you can during the tournaments, so you seem to love it quite a lot.
  Who in their right mind doesn't love borscht?
  Exactly. So I decided that enough is enough, it's about time you learned how to cook it yourself.
  Let's go. -  Let's go!
  Well, you know that roasted vegetables are one of the key ingredients of the borscht, right?
  Yeah, sure. It's onions, carrots, and...
  Right, right! - And tomato sauce. - Right, he's ready. He's a genius.
  Do it, baby!
  Am I doing this right?
  Well, no. Let me show you.
  You need to chop it like this, and then like this. - Yeah, I get it now.
  Slice it finely, no-no-no, like this. - Narrowly, like this? - Yes, just like that.
  Well, Alexei. - Am I doing this right? - Yes, but watch out, don't cut your hand. - It's fine.
  Don't worry, I'm just trying to dice it firmly. Just finished some tense clan wars, so my hands are a bit... shaky.
  When was the last time you cooked?
  I can't even remember if I've ever cooked. Jokes aside, though, I think it was about 7 years ago.
  It's the first time in history I've made Solo cry.
  Are you really crying? - Slowly starting to.
  But I'm making it work. - Yeah, just don't cut your fingers off, that's the most important part.
  Lifehack for you, Solo - just drink some cold water and the tears will go away.
  But I want to cry! I think the borscht will be tastier if I cry for a bit now.
  What about the tears of your enemies?
  Just a pinch. - A pinch? - A pinch of Team Liquid's tears.
  Where did you eat the tastiest borscht, in your opinion?
  You know, obviously, the tastiest borscht I've ever eaten is my wife's.
  Yes, yes, that's the right answer!
  But also it was great in Kiev - when we played in The Kiev Major, they prepared amazingly tasty borscht in the hotel we stayed in.
  Just so you know, guys, they used to order that borscht two times per day!
  I think the guys only ate it out of principle.
  Cooking show "Virtus.Borscht."
  I'm taking the onions, and now your responsibility is to grate the carrots.
  We're not going to suffer through cutting it.
  We need a plate... oh, we do have it? - Yes, we've got everything.
  On a coarse grater? - On the coarse grater.
  I'm just like Lukashenko now! "Some carrots, huh?".
  And I'm like Steven Seagal.
  He does that, right? "Thank you for this great carrot."
  How do I grate it? Like this? - Yes, but don't forget - your hands are sacred to you.
  I'm okay.
  My role is 5, after all, so if something bad happens - it's not a big deal.
  You know that feeling when salami, ravioli, and cheese run out, so out of desperation you have to look around and open the drawer only to find noodles in here?
  And... sugar. Noodles with sugar.
  What do you usually eat during the bootcamps? As far as I know, you don't usually eat hamburgers when you bootcamp, at least.
  There was a time we binge-ate fast food to the point you could tell that from the way we looked.
  Just a bit, though.
  We all looked like we binged on pizza, burgers, cheese sauce and...
  Sandwiches with meatballs. - Yea. So now we're trying to eat relatively healthy.
  Well. Plus, the woman who works here also tries to cook healthy food: rice, buckwheat, chicken, salads, etc., so we're fine.
  What do you think? I think there's more than enough carrots, right?
  Alexei, you're beautiful.
  Can I eat that? - Yes, you can.
  Go ahead if you want to.
  Did Seagal actually eat that carrot?
  No idea.
  It would've been weird if he started eating it right in front of Lukashenko... with both hands.
  You can't really turn batska's offer down, can you?
  You really can't let batska down.
  Well, Alexei... - Do you want me to handle this? - Yes, sure. - My hands are clean, so...
  Which food is the best in the world?
  In Seattle's Crab Pot they cook meatloaves out of fresh crab meat,
  with some sort of a bittersweet sauce, potatoes, and salad.
  You've said several times that you consider starting your own restaurant after retiring. With which cuisine?
  Novorossiysk is a port city: there are a bay and a sea, but I can't say we have that sort of places here,
  because, after all, crabs and all that stuff are imported from Sakhalin and Kamchatka, right?
  Probably.
  Well, so something of that sort would be cool.
  And how will you name your restaurant? "Uncle Lesha's"?
  Dunno. Probably something sea-related, you know.
  Friends, take notes: in the comments under this video, post variants of the names for Lesha's restaurant. It may come in handy.
  Why not?
  Well, Vova, since you've already grabbed the knife - chop the cabbages.
  Once you said you were good with knives.
  How do you know if it's true?
  Well, we'll find out now.
  It's just a myth. - A myth? - Yeah.
  Well, tell me - have you ever cooked on your own?
  Seriously? Not even cereal, or omelette, or something?
  Well, I've cooked omelette a couple of times. - And that's it?
  What about barbecue?
  I did cook barbecue. - There we go.
  Tell me the secrets of barbecue by RodjER.
  It's easy: you just need to balance seasoning, salt, pepper, and to roast it correctly, and it will turn out great.
  Today's culinary orchestra is under Maria Ermolina's guidance.
  I decided that since you're grown adults, this phase would begin sooner or later: it's time finally be able to cook borscht on your own.
  Who usually cooks for you when you're not playing in tournaments?
  Bro, you need to cut it thinner. - Thinner? - Yes.
  When I'm not on the tournaments?
  Yes, when you're not bootcamping or on a tournament. In this time, Solo's wife cooks for him, for example.
  My mom cooks for me.
  And what's your mom's best dish?
  Well, some sort of macaroni...
  Why does everyone mention macaroni?
  It's because they're so tasty.
  Well, I'll go stir the vegetables Solo grated.
  Wait, stop, with macaroni? No, puree! - That's my favorite song.
  Did you have some sort of food you hated back in the kindergarten or school?
  Obviously, onions.
  Well, what about semolina?
  I didn't eat it, as well.
  Didn't you? - I didn't eat it at all. Know what I ate? - What?
  You know... Instant ramen noodles.
  Instant noodles?
  Just kidding. But you know, everyone ate that, especially dry - it was so tasty!
  Well, you know, I also ate dry noodles. I think everyone did.
  I ate it throughout my entire childhood.
  Let's think about your future wife. When you meet her, what dish does she absolutely have to know how to prepare?
  Like, an absolute must!
  Doesn't matter what exactly, what's important is that it has to be tasty.
  ... and without onions.
  You mean all at once?
  We'll learn how to, if anything.
  Or we can Google it.
  Or simply order it.
  You googled it too, right?
  Nah, not at all.
  Don't you google this kind of stuff?
  No, why? I cook borscht all the time.
  Not bad.
  Are you surprised?
  No.
  But you played in Na'Vi! I bet everyone knew how to cook borscht there.
  I've never tried to.
  Well, that's it. The new life has begun. Thank you, and do you want some cabbage?
  If you chop it, you eat it.
  Tasty.
  Thank you very much.
  I think that soon enough I'll invite you to taste what you cooked here. - Okay, Thank you!
  The next participant of our cooking ensemble - Pasha!
  And you have an extremely easy task - dice some potatoes.
  But you'll have to do it with love, with soul.
  Have you ever cooked in your life?
  Sometimes I cook for my girlfriend, Lida.
  Yeah! Sometimes I see wonderful breakfasts on your Instagram. Is that yours?
  Well, kind of. I don't actually know how to cook, I just look it up on... - Google? - Yeah, on Google.
  Well, what was the last dish you prepared for Lida?
  Pancakes, I think.
  For Maslenitsa?
  Just for breakfast.
  What's the tastiest... - wait, it's not it, there's more - ...what's the tastiest dish Lida had ever prepared for you?
  Well, I'm a man of simple tastes - I like omelettes and stuff like that.
  Look how it's turning out. - Not bad, just a little bit more and it's perfect.
  Lida cooks absolutely amazing soup, but I won't share the recipe - it's my soup, only mine!
  So if you want to copy it, you're out of luck - only I can eat this soup!
  What an attitude! Okay, what was the tastiest food you had ever eaten during the tournaments?
  I like... nothing in particular, except Tom yum - I eat it whenever I can.
  What do you think, what's the main secret of a good borscht?
  Sour cream, but it's hard to get it right.
  This one's good.
  Consider you've cooked a great sour cream. - Should I put it there? - No, no need, that's enough.
  Roman, as you already understand, today we're cooking borscht. We're doing it together - it's a cooking ensemble, and I'm its conductor.
  So your mission is the most important - you have to shed beet's blood.
  There you go. Grate it on the coarse grater and let's go!
  Do it!
  Let's do this. - Come on, bro, you can do this!
  When was the last time you did that?
  I've never grated a beet like this in my entire life.
  Did you ever grate anything?  - Cheese!
  Cheese? For macaroni?
  Huh? No. - Why, then? - I don't remember, it was a long time ago.
  Have you ever cooked by yourself?
  Well, kinda. Not really.
  Did you ever help your mom with that?
  Nope. I'm a Dota player, I don't have time for that.
  Should I grate it all? - Yeah, the entire thing!
  By the way, what was the tastiest food you'd ever had during a tournament, out of all tournaments you'd ever participated in?
  I enjoy sea-food, like mussels. There was awesome seafood in Genting.
  What did you eat there?
  Mussels, shrimp - it was very tasty.
  Overall, how do you like borscht?
  I love Ukrainian borscht. I only visit Ukraine to eat some borscht!
  Really? - Yeah.
  Woah, chill, or you'll knock the potatoes off the table.
  See? You need some physical strength for that!
  A bit.
  I'm just a bit tired after clanwars. My right hand hurts a little.
  Seriously? - Nah, I'm just lazy.
  The Ukrainian borscht is served with doughnuts, and it tastes like heaven.
  Sorry, Roma, I forgot to include doughnuts in the menu.
  Well, that's a problem. It's best served with sour cream and doughnuts.
  I figured you'd all ask for sour cream, so I brought some.
  Are you tired already? Come on, it's a challenge! You have to finish it!
  Roma! Roma! Roma!
  Come on!
  How much beet do I need to grate?!
  Nobody said cooking borscht was easy!
  It is really hard.
  It's shaky, right? Let me hold it.
  It's damn hard. I'd rather play Dota.
  And so our battle against beet goes on!
  I thought it would be faster... Help me!
  It's hard...
  Can you imagine how happy all the girls will be to see how Ramzes cooks?
  But I don't have any fangirls... except fifth-grade schoolgirls.
  What dish should a woman know how to cook to instantly win your heart?
  Well, I haven't thought of that...
  She needs to know how to what?
  No, I just didn't think about it yet. I'm too young for that.
  ... and a Dota player.
  What do I need a girlfriend for?
  I have my buddies: Resolut1on, fn, ALOHADANCE. Shout-out to all of you, guys, especially Resolut1on!
  Well, that's enough. I'm going to free you from this task. It hurts to look at it.
  Come on, show your hands!
  We're continuing our cooking show, Vladimir, welcome to the studio!
  Greetings!
  You'll have a great honor of chopping the meat that I've already boiled for the borscht.
  It will probably not end well. I'd much rather dice some garlic.
  Come on, stop slacking. Just cut the meat the way you'd like to eat it in a soup.
  I haven't used cutlery for a very long time.
  You don't need a fork for that.
  Oh, I approximately know how to do that.
  Your hands are most important, so be careful.
  Right...
  I can do it myself.
  Let me help you - that's what friends are for, Vova!
  That's what women are for, I'd say.
  To pick up after you in the kitchen?
  Why didn't you just let me chop onions?
  Alexei Berezin has already chopped the onions.
  It's extremely easy, after all.
  He even cried!
  You mean this onion over there?
  No, over there - the one that's already roasted.
  Can you say that borscht is one of your most favorite dishes?
  No, I don't actually like red borscht. I like green more.
  You mean Shchi?
  Well, yeah. But that's my grandma's old family recipe.
  Well, your grandma's green borscht...
  Yeah, I like it way more.
  I can do like this. - No need, or meat will fly everywhere.
  What's your most, absolutely favorite dish?
  Well, I don't really have anything like that. I just eat things I like, and that's all.
  But, out of that, I guess I like sushi the most, yeah.
  And out of home-cooked food...
  Olivier salad, I guess, but that's holiday food.
  Out of regular food, I don't know, puree with potatoes, I guess.
  Puree with potatoes? - Ah, I meant to say mashed potatoes with meatloaves.
  It seems that puree with meatloaves is everyone's signature food.
  Naturally. It's the Dota players' default food.
  You're free to go - for now! Once the borscht is ready, you'll have to come back to taste it!
  To be honest, I'm not that eager to try a borscht cooked by Dota players.
  Don't worry, I'll add my own, girl touch to it now.
  It may be for the worse, though.
  I'm about to slap you! Watch your words!
  Thank you for your participation... - ah, come on, with greasy hands?!
  Of course. - Let's thank each other.
  In reality, lyrics aside, in this house, women prepare borscht - Lida quite literally saves us all. 
  And all the glory will end up in their hands.
  Well, friends, in our original script, the team had to eat the borscht all together, but... Ivan, please explain what happened.
  They're playing clanwars now. Since it's of a Major-level importance, I'll eat alone.
  So Ivan will be the one to taste and judge the borscht. Go ahead!
  It's not half bad. - Right!
  Did they make it themselves? - Yes, they did.
  Tastes great.
  Let me guess - Vova diced the meat,
  Lesha chopped the potatoes,
  Ramzes cut the cabbages...
  Did Pasha do anything?
  Everyone did their part.
  I don't know what's left. I don't even know what's in there.
  Long story short, Ramzes grated beet - and he tried his best.
  RodjER chopped cabbages - check out how fine and thin it turned out!
  Solo cooked roasted veggies,
  No[o]ne really did prepare the meat, and Pasha - the potatoes.
  Turns out I was wrong.
  And we, the girls, obviously cooked the whole meal.
  Five out of five? - Yeah. - All good! Bon appetit and it's time for me to go.
