Team Spirit manager explains why he doesn't consider Miracle the best player in Dota 2 history

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov said that although he respects Amer “Miracle-” al-Barkawi's achievements in professional Dota 2, he is not ready to call him the best player on the pro scene, as the game has become much more difficult since the esports player's peak training period.

The Team Spirit manager made this statement on Twitch.

“I'll say it again. Guys, Miracle is the GOAT. One of the best players in the history of this game. According to some people, the best. I'm not even arguing with that, I'm just saying that Dota has grown over the past ten years. There are as many opinions as there are people. For me, Miracle is not the best player, sorry.”

According to Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov, Amer “Miracle-” al-Barkawi can be called one of the best players in the history of Dota 2, but such representatives of the pro scene as Lasse “Matumbaman” Urpalainen, Klement “Puppey” Ivanov, and Xu “fy” Linse are superior to the legendary carry. The Team Spirit manager also believes that Miracle- made history thanks to some very successful gameplay moments, but there were also some disastrous games in his career.

"Save that ‘not one of the best, but the best’ stuff for your friends when you're sitting with them in the pub. Matumba, by the way... Matumbaman is a good example. There's Puppey, there's Fy. If I had to choose between Puppey and Miracle, for example, I would choose Puppey.

Guys, relax. Miracle is the GOAT, we all love him. There are some very cool legendary players, but there are also some who are frankly weak. Not that they are weak, it's just that nothing surprises anyone anymore. Dota has grown a lot. That's just a fact."

Let us remind you that earlier Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov compared the gameplay of Amer “Miracle-” al-Barkawi with modern players with 3,000 MMR.
