Mid Team Spirit Denis larl Sigitov summed up the team’s performance on the second day ESL One Birmingham 2024 on Dota 2. In an interview on the English-language broadcast of the tournament, he discussed the results of the matches, and also spoke about the team’s playing style.
It was a very difficult day. We had very long and difficult games, which left us very tired. These games are simply terrible. <...>
I think it’s good for us if we can farm longer. My teammates love to hit creeps, and we pick heroes for the late stage, so that we reach our peak power in the late game. But I don’t like long games. I like to play more aggressively, find kills and play faster. But in this patch you need to farm a lot to win. If you accidentally go somewhere and die, the game will become very difficult.
We play terrible, so all the cards reach the late game. In my opinion, we can win easier, but each of us makes too many stupid mistakes, which is why the matches are so difficult. When I say the match was terrible, I don’t mean the games themselves, but our performance, the way we reach our peak strength. We often lead by gold and can kill opponents, but we choose poorly where to fight and make other bad decisions. This is terrible for me.
