SirActionSlacks commented on Malr1ne joining Team Liquid
Esports event host Jake “SirActionSlacks” Kanner commented on his personal YouTube channel about the Astra Invicta team and Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak’s move to Team Liquid.
About Malr1ne Joining Team Liquid
The rumors have been confirmed—Malr1ne is now with Team Liquid. Oh my gosh, who would have thought? You’d think this news would be the top story of the week, but after their performance at the last tournament… [Team Liquid finished 9th–12th at BLAST SLAM VIII. — Ed.] Well, yes, they still have a lot of work to do before they’re back in the spotlight. Let’s hope the former “Falcon” can pull them out of the shithole they’ve found themselves in.
About Astra Invicta
Nigma Galaxy—I mean, Conventus Stellarum—I mean, Astra Invicta... [He read the names like spells. — Ed.] Wait, why the hell is my desk floating in the air?... Have they finalized their roster by adding Nightfall and GH to the team? Okay, now that’s an interesting lineup. I have high hopes for this strange combination. We’ll see if they can play more than one tournament before their manager, Zofron the Magnificent, finishes casting his soul-stealing spell—based on a wordplay—on poor little KuroKy.
On Yatoro’s proposal to remove buyouts from Dota 2
As interesting as it sounds, other pro players have confirmed that this would make matches much longer: no one would want to push up the hill just to force a fight, make their opponents spend their buybacks, and then end the game. Effective teams would most likely just play defensively, like in the good old days. Perhaps Yatoro doesn’t want buyouts because he never saves up money for them himself.
Earlier, Jake “SirActionSlacks” Kanner criticized the changes to Techies in Dota 2, joked about the need to add a draft phase with weapon selection and bans in Counter-Strike 2, and called the shooter “a game for idiots.”
