Malr1ne: "ATF is quite a shy guy. Our first conversation was a bit reserved"
2024-08-06 18:11:00Team Falcons Dota 2 midlaner Stanislav "Malr1ne" Potorak recalled the time he first met Ammar "ATF" Al-Assaf. According to him, his teammate was quite shy in real life. Trying to ease the conversation didn't help much, according to Malr1ne's words on stream.
Obviously, talking in person at first differs from chatting on the Internet. He is quite a shy guy. I tried to establish contact — or rather, to act relaxed and let him feel the same so we could start getting along from the get-go. But the first conversation was a bit reserved. I had no expectations; I was just happy to meet him.
The next tournament of Team Falcons will be FISSURE Universe Episode 3, which will be held online from August 18 to 25. The relatively small event attracts many top-tier teams, serving as a practice field before The International 2024. Malr1ne and his teammates will face Gaimin Gladiators, Team Spirit, Cloud9 (ex-Entity), BetBoom Team, and Tundra.
Earlier, ATF discussed their dominating season. He claimed they felt a slump after every win, which fueled their motivation going forward.
