NS spoke about playing Warlock

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov advises using a build with Blink Dagger on the Warlock hero in Dota 2, as well as actively leveling up the hero by moving around the map.

The streamer shared this advice on Twitch.

"I realized that the best gameplay and build for Warlock is through Blink Dagger. And really through hard farming on the map. Yes, it sounds a little strange, but it really works. You aggressively push lanes, literally brazenly pushing as a support with Blink Dagger, and you need Blink so you don't die in the process. You quickly farm a bunch of slots and go into the late game."

According to Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov, this strategy is not used by professional players because they haven't played enough matches with him due to regular meta changes. The streamer noted that he came to this gameplay after a large number of ranked matches with Warlock.

“Professionals are unlikely to come to such conclusions because it requires playing a huge number of games. And since the meta is constantly changing — today Warlock is in the meta, and then no one picks him for two years — they simply won't have that opportunity.”

Recall that earlier, Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov named the most unpleasant defeat in his career as a streamer.
