Malr1ne supported Yatoro, pointing out a serious problem on the Dota 2 pro scene

Last updated:  Malr1ne Dota 2

Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak, Team Falcons midlaner, stated that even pro players have stopped playing matchmaking Dota 2, linking this to the fatigue of cyber athletes.

He revealed this during a broadcast on Twitch:

“Four minutes of searching. Four minutes is still not enough time. I'm going to be honest. There is truth in Yatoro's words. There's almost no one playing Dota right now. It's just... I don't know. Even pro players - I can count on my fingers who play at all. A lot of teams don't even play publics. They just don't care. People are so tired that... even pro players don't play Dota. They just don't play. That's it”

Malr1ne supported the statement of Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk, who previously said that Dota 2 online is gradually shrinking and the game itself is “dying”. According to Malr1ne, the problem is that not only regular players are losing interest in the publiks, but also cyber athletes from top teams.

Midlaner attributed this to general fatigue, which is perhaps a reference to the overloaded tournament schedule. It is worth noting that more and more players complain about the schedule of competitions - between some tournaments the break is less than a day.

Recall, earlier Yatoro spoke sharply about the situation in matchmaking Dota 2.
