Collapse: "Desolator is historically the best item for Mars. Always was and always will be"
2024-08-08 12:46:00Team Spirit offlaner Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov is happy that Valve nerfed auras in patch 7.37 in Dota 2. He brought Mars as an example of a hero who can actively go for kills instead of farming aura items. He shared his opinion in the latest Spirit vlog on YouTube.
How does it feel to play Mars with Desolator? It's an absolute bliss. Just hit a pack of creeps, and pfft... Desolator is historically the best item for Mars. Always was and always will be.
Are Pipe of Insight and Guardian Greaves no longer needed? Go f**k yourself with your auras. If we are going to buy them, that's on those two [gestures at Miposhka and Mira]. That's it, the patch is over. No need for these shenanigans. <...> Mars is not a hero to buy auras or support. He is the god of war. He must kill.
Team Spirit finished second at Super Dimensional Vision Snow Ruyi. In the grand final, they lost to Xtreme Gaming with a score of 1:3. Before defending their title at The International 2024, they'll attend one more event, FISSURE Universe Episode 3, starting on August 21. As the last chance to practice in official matches before TI, the tournament attracts many top teams.
Patch 7.37 came out on July 31, 2024. The developers brought back Iron Talon, changed the order of Roshan's rewards, and rebalanced some innate abilities and facets. You can learn more about it in our takeaway of the update below.
