ATF admitted that he doesn't hesitate to use dirty tricks for victory

Ammar "ATF" Assaf, playing for Team Falcons, stated that he uses trash talk not for enjoyment but to tilt opponents and secure victories.

The esports athlete made this admission during an interview with AFK Gaming.

"Why would I do it? Firstly, to tilt people playing against me. Even though I'm toxic, I could take advantage. Why would I not? Some people could hate it, some will not, but why not take a chance? That's why I like trash-talking"

According to ATF, excessive toxicity might not appeal to some people, but if it helps in winning, why not take advantage of it.

He mentioned that trash talk is not used because he enjoys it, but rather to increase his chances of victory by demoralizing or disrupting the opponent's concentration.

It's worth noting that earlier, Jingjun "Sneyking" Wu, the captain of Team Falcons, defended ATF over taunts directed at his teammate.
