Dendi spoke about the victory at TI1

Danil “Dendi” Ishutin said that at The International 2011, Natus Vincere managed to implement a unique style of play that secured the team's victory.

The player talked about this on YouTube.

“I think we were one of the teams that invented the style of complete, unbridled aggression. We tried to promote it in the first Dota, and then adapted it to Dota 2. When we were the only ones playing that way, it worked. We crushed our opponents left and right with frenzied aggression and very early attacks on towers with our heroes.”

According to Danil “Dendi” Ishutin, Natus Vincere's aggressive approach worked great when it was unique to the pro scene. The player noted that at that time, the team easily defeated most opponents through aggressive attacks on enemy structures, which in the economy of those years allowed them to obtain a lot of resources.

“It was fun, we destroyed every team. I think we didn't really care what patch we were playing on. The only thing that mattered was how the economy worked in the game. Back then, you got a crazy amount of money for destroying buildings.”

Let us remind you that earlier, BetBoom Streamers Battle 12 champion Artem “Avice” Temnov lashed out at Danila “Dendi” Ishutin during a matchmaking game.
