Malr1ne Reveals His Main Motivation as a Dota 2 Pro Player

Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak stated that his main motivation in his career is his interest in playing Dota 2, rather than the relatively low income of an esports player.

The player’s opinion is featured on CyberSport.

“It’s more about the interest, guys. I don’t play for the money. I play because I want to win. I want to prove that I’m better, to win, and to outplay people.

It’s just more interesting than just sitting around raking in the cash. I could basically live like Dyrachyo: raking in the cash, streaming here and there. But that’s just not interesting to me.”

According to Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak, his competitive ambitions and the opportunity to constantly prove his high skill level are far more important to him than the financial aspect of his professional career. The player noted that he sees no point in choosing a more laid-back path of earning money through streaming if it doesn’t bring him the same level of interest and satisfaction. In his words, it is precisely the desire to win and outperform his opponents that remains his main motivation for continuing to compete on the professional scene.

As a reminder, Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak previously reflected on Anton “Dyrachyo” Shkredov’s current level of preparation.
