NS discussed the benefits of the tier-2 scene for Dota 2

Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov discussed the benefits of tier-2 teams in Dota 2 and gave an example of a young player named Alan "Satanic" Galliamov from the team Yellow Submarine. He shared this during his live stream on Twitch.

It should be understood that these tier-2 teams often have very strong players who are currently playing at that level. However, after some time, they can easily transition to tier-1 teams and win tournaments, including The International or anything else.

NS emphasized that tier-2 players can develop into very strong players, and there are even people dedicated to scouting and finding such talent.

There is always someone worth paying attention to. Without a doubt, the tier-2 scene has many skilled individuals. They may not be very noticeable because they play in tier-2. Among a bunch of roses... Well, this "rose" is still in the manure, and it doesn't smell good because the atmosphere around it is not quite right. There are specially trained people who search for these "roses."

Yaroslav gave an example of a young and promising player, Satanic, from the team Yellow Submarine.

There is a player called Satanic who plays for Yellow Submarine. He is naturally extremely promising: he has a high rank, is young, and shows great potential. He demonstrates excellent micro skills and not only that, but also possesses other qualities. He plays Dota 2 boldly and fearlessly. These are the traits of a player who can earn titles and win tournaments in the future.

As long as he continues to play for Yellow Submarine, until he joins a team with several experienced players or some experienced captains who understand how to play Dota 2, he is unlikely to fully transform on his own. It takes too much time.

Before this, we wrote about NS's extremely negative comments towards Valve, accusing them of greed due to the meager rewards of the "Frostivus" event.
