Malr1ne has revealed the names of his idols in Dota 2

Stanislav "Malr1ne" Potorak stated that the success of Gleb "kiyotaka" Zyryanov motivated him to start his own career, while Danil "gpk" Skutin and Bozhidar "bzm" Bogdanov seemed to be the most stable esports players for the future midlaner of Team Falcons, which fueled his desire to emulate them.

This statement was made by Malr1ne during the live broadcast of the BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 championship on Twitch.

"At some point, I watched kiyotaka rise to the stage. Perhaps, to some extent, I envied him. But I probably thought more about being a more stable player – it was gpk, bzm. These are probably the two people I looked up to and, let's say, maybe watched some of their replays. Although I don't watch replays much, but this is probably an exception because I tried to understand why they were better than me."

At BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024, Team Falcons showed an excellent result in the matches held. The team reached the upper bracket final of the playoffs, defeating Xtreme Gaming and Azure Ray. Next, Malr1ne's lineup will test their strength in the upper bracket final against the BetBoom Team. The team that loses will have to compete for a slot in the grand final of the tournament through the lower bracket.

It is worth noting that the well-known commentator Rustam "Adekvat" Mavlyutov previously supported Valve's actions to block Dota 2 player accounts for Overplus.
