Malr1ne: "We are ahead of BetBoom in terms of game and mentality. We know perfectly well what they do" Interview
2024-09-13 12:52:00Team Falcons Dota 2 midlaner Stanislav "Malr1ne" Potorak explained how they stomped BetBoom Team at The International 2024. He claimed their opponents were easy to read and break mentally. The player shared this in a post-match interview on Russian broadcast.
We understand BetBoom Team's game and personal roots too well. We are ahead of them in terms of game and mentality. We know perfectly well what and how our opponents will do. This team is easy to shake, especially mentally. We just played around it. BetBoom Team probably isn't improving in this regard. I don't want to be that harsh, but it seems true since there's no progress. <...>
I would say that with that draft, the first game was decided almost from minute zero. BetBoom Team picked strong lanes but terrible heroes without synergy. They can't do anything together on the map. The opponents have no idea behind their draft.
We put pressure on Nightfall. He needs to farm BKB before making that TP-out.
Falcons eliminated BetBoom Team from the tournament. After the game, Cr1t praised the midlaner for his impact. He even claimed that Malr1ne played like the best player in the world. Falcons continue their run through the lower bracket after the defeat from Tundra. They will play the next match on September 14 at 10:00 CEST against either Team Liquid or Cloud9.
The International 2024 is held from September 4 to 15. Participants are playing for at least $2.5 million. This is the first TI with facets and innate abilities introduced in May. The current patch is 7.37c.
