Nix named Yatoro's idol the best midlaner of The International 2024

Alexander "Nix" Levin named Raflai "Mikoto" Fatura from Talon Esports as possibly the best midlaner of The International 2024.

This statement was made during a Twitch stream.

"Mikoto is playing so well; he’s really strong. This guy deserves to play at the Internationals, he’s such a phenomenal midlaner. If I had to pick the top three midlaners of the tournament, I would highlight No[o]ne, Mikoto, and possibly Topson. The third spot is tough; Topson is inconsistent, but what he showed yesterday was amazing"

Nix compared Mikoto to Dota 2 legend Vladimir "No[o]ne" Minenko, who is playing for Cloud9 at TI13. He believes that Mikoto truly understands Dota 2 and demonstrates an incredible level of play.

It's worth noting that Mikoto's performance has also impressed Ilya "Yatoro" Mulyarchuk. The Team Spiritcarry considers Mikoto such an outstanding player that he has called him a benchmark for other esports professionals.
