Astini spoke out about the aggressive play of professional Dota 2 teams
Former Team Nemesis coach Filipe “Astini” Astini Ribeiro discussed the aggressive playstyle of professional Dota 2 teams on his personal X page.
In every team I’ve played for, the thing I’ve had to work on the most was the risk-reward balance. For me, Team Liquid’s second map would have been an easy win if they hadn’t tried to force the issue, but the conclusion I heard in the post-match interview was that, on the contrary, they should have done more...
The same thing happened in yesterday’s game against Team Falcons: they had Invoker, Underlord, and Spirit Breaker to play across the entire map, but for some reason, the three of them went to Smoke of Deceit together—something I’ll never understand.
