Team Falcons captain defended ATF amid mockery directed at him

Although Ammar "ATF" al-Assaf is often mocked for his hero pool, he performs well on them and allows the carry and midlaner to pick the heroes they need during the draft.

This statement was made by Jingjun "Sneyking" Wu, captain of Team Falcons, during an interview at BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024.

"People make fun of his hero pool, but it doesn't matter that much. The thing is, he is really good at the heroes he plays. For an offlaner, that's a very important characteristic because it allows your team to pick your hero first, so your midlaner and carry can pick their heroes later. That is really important because someone has to 'tank' the first pick, get counterpicked, and still play against counters"

He emphasized that people may have different opinions about Team Falcons esports player ATF, but it doesn't negate the contribution he brings to the team's performance.

"I think ATF, despite what people say about him, is an amazing player who brings a lot of value to the team"

It is worth noting that despite ATF's small hero pool, he showcases incredible gameplay on some of them. Many fans consider him the best player on Mars. He demonstrated outstanding performance on it during ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023.
