Team Spirit manager told why he doesn't consider Daxak as a tier-1 Dota 2 player

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov considers Nikita “Daxak” Kuzmin stronger than the players of the tier-2 stage, but also doubts that he reaches the level of the tier-1 team.

The manager of Team Spirit shared his respective opinion on Twitch.

“Right now, he's put together a team that hasn't fallen apart yet. Or he didn't, but it's not that important. We have to watch, they play normally. If you evaluate Daxak in a vacuum... That's my opinion, which isn't necessarily correct, but he's a tier-1.5 player. He's not a tier 1 player. That's if you take it in a vacuum, not taking into account what he does off the bench. Maybe he's superimpact in the outfield. That being said, he's stronger than the tier-2 players.”

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov also stated that it is impossible to evaluate a professional Dota 2 player based on mechanical skills alone, as the human factor also greatly affects a player's results. At the same time, the Team Spirit manager notes that the period of Nikita “Daxak” Kuzmin's game in Gambit Esports was quite productive, despite the limited pool of heroes, after which there was a drawdown in the cyber athlete's career.

“A Dota player is a collective image, it's not just mechanical skill. Evaluating mechanical skill in isolation from the human factor is quite hard.

In general, you can evaluate Daxak based on his career. When he first started in Gambit with two heroes in the pool, it was cool and interesting, then he had a slump.”

Recall that earlier Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev called Nikita “Daxak” Kuzmin a good player of the third position, thinking about the possibility of playing with him in the same team.
