Team Spirit Coach Identifies Miracle’s Weakness

Ilya “Illidan” Pivtsaev believes that Amer “Miracle” al-Barkawi has performed rather poorly in lane play.

The Team Spirit coach shared this opinion on YouTube.

“Actually, many people think that all aspects of his game were good, but he often had problems laning against strong players. His game sense was absolutely insane. And his instincts were comparable to Collapse’s. But he definitely played more on instinct than on knowledge. Ask literally anyone who worked with him, and they’ll tell you that. His laning was weak, but everything else was really impressive. He was a tough guy. Tough.”

According to a statement by Ilya “Illidan” Pivtsaev, the Team Spirit coach has a positive opinion of Amer “Miracle” al-Barkawi, considering him a legendary figure in the pro scene with highly developed gaming instincts. However, unlike most members of the Dota 2 community, Illidan acknowledges that Miracle played rather weakly in the lane, even though he outperformed his opponents in most aspects of the game.

As a reminder, Mikhail “Misha” Agatov previously named a player whose skill level came close to that of Amer “Miracle” al-Barkawi.
