Maelstorm and squad1x Dota 2

Virtus.pro has started making a lot of mistakes during matches. This may result in the team being unable to achieve significant results unless they address the situation.

This opinion was shared by Dota 2 commentator and analyst Vladimir "Maelstorm" Kuzminov during a Twitch broadcast.

"I want to say that Virtus.pro has developed a very **** trait—they started making a lot of mistakes. I mean, not just pressing the button poorly, but really poorly pressing a spell, or squad1x somehow gets caught out, and they take him, and everyone is laughing in the chat, then something else happens"

He emphasized that such mistakes don't necessarily break the entire game, as strategy, choosing the right tactics, and hero picks are much more important. However, these kinds of mistakes come at a high cost for the team.

"I don't know why this is happening to Russia's Virtus.pro. And I don't know how to fix it. But if they don't fix it, it will stick with them forever, and they won't win any important games because if you always make mistakes at crucial moments, well, you understand..."

It is possible that this was a kind of hint at the need for roster reshuffles or a change in the overall approach to matches. However, Maelstorm did not specify this.

Recall that Ilya "Kiritych" Ulyanov, Virtus.pro carry, seriously misplayed, catching three of his teammates in a Chronosphere while playing Faceless Void.

Virtus.pro Roster:

  • Ilya "Kiritych" Ulyanov

  • Ilya "squad1x" Kuvaldin

  • Evgeny "Noticed" Ignatenko

  • Oleg "sayuw" Kalenbet

  • Artem "Fng" Barshak
