Virtus.pro captain admitted to borrowing ideas from Team Falcons

Artem "Fng" Barshak, commenting on his team's victory over Team Spirit, stated that the current Dota 2 meta largely consists of borrowing ideas from Team Falcons. The esports athlete awaits a new patch so the team can come up with something unique.

The Virtus.pro captain made a similar statement in a post-match interview with the organizers of the 1win Series Dota 2 Spring tournament during the tournament broadcast on YouTube.

"To be honest, the meta is mostly theft of ideas from Team Falcons. I can't say these are our ideas. I'm eager for a new patch to start practicing something new. Of course, we're not completely copying Team Falcons. We had it all in mind, even Tiny in the offlane. But it's easier when someone shows it, then we can claim it for ourselves."

Virtus.pro defeated Team Spirit in the match for a spot in the grand final of the 1win Series Dota 2 Spring, taking two consecutive maps from the champions of The International. Now the team will play against Entity for the first place, while Team Spirit will compete against Team Liquid for the bronze.

Earlier, Virtus.pro carry Ilya "Kiritych" Ulyanov stated that despite the victory, the team made several serious mistakes during the match, while support player Oleg "sayuw" Kalenbet and team captain Artem "Fng" Barshak assessed this victory as one of the most significant achievements for the team in recent times.
