Team Spirit streamer talks about how he chooses his strategy for Dota 2 matchmaking

Ilya “Illidan” Pivtsaev stated that when playing in Dota 2 matchmaking, the content creator is not concerned about the possibility of losing his rating, which is why he chooses his approach to gameplay based on his teammates' motivation for team play.

The Team Spirit streamer shared this opinion on Twitch.

"The point is that I don't really care about my rating. I play Dota according to one principle: if people want to win with me, then I try. If people want to show off, then I show off in matchmaking too, that's all. Well, you don't want to agree? Fine, let's not agree. Let's each do what we want in the game. You want to play FP-carry, and I want to ruin your laning so badly that you'll never want to play FP-carry again in your life. It's very simple. And if you want to cooperate, no problem. People roll, I roll with them, I go to another role. This has happened a million times. How many times have I played Necrophos?"

According to Ilya “Illidan” Pivtsaev, if his teammates are committed to team play with him, the streamer will make every effort to win, but he is not willing to put effort into matches where someone tries to play solo without communicating with their teammates. The Team Spirit streamer admitted that in such a situation, he might even throw the game so that the person would learn their lesson.

As a reminder, earlier Ilya “Illidan” Pivtsaev named the worst teammate of his professional Dota 2 career.
