NS spoke about the strange attitude within Team Spirit towards Larl
Yaroslav ‘NS’ Kuznetsov discussed Team Spirit unusual approach to Denis ‘Larl’ Sigitov, mentioning that they seem to select losing heroes for him, which makes it impossible for him to realize his full potential during matches.
The former professional player now turned streamer shared his views on a twitch stream.
“Can Mlr1ne replace Larl in Spirit? Man, Larl? No. There is no such thing as replacement. The notion that Larl is some kind of ruiner is a joke. Larl isn’t ruining anything. He is playing well and as a result he suitable for the team. That’s the reason he does not shine often. The main playmakers are either Radan or Collapse , and Larl rarely gets the chance to take center stage”
His claim that Larl is not given the opportunity to shine is especially true because he is not the focus for the team. In addition, the streamer stressed that the team seems not to care how he performs on the strange heroes so often provided for him.
“The use of Ember Spirit against sNiper is peculiar because did they really expect sNiper to counter them? Of course they did - it is common sense. When using Ember, there are many counters like Huskar, sNiper and VIPER that can be used. And they will most likely select one, it is PARIVISION after all, they are infamous for picking up sNiper . Larl is going to be in trouble. If they meant to make it easy for him, they could always just give him sNiper . No, they pick Ember Spirit. This means that they do not care about Larl and whatever problems he decides to face in the game”
As pointed out by NS, Larl would have a more favorable impact if the right combination of heroes were assigned to him. Besides, he reiterated that the claim of needing to replace him is rather silly and that all the criticism directed towards him, Larl is a stellar midlaner, is unsubstantiated.
Dmitry ‘Korb3n’ Belov had earlier discussed the reasons Miroslav ‘Mira’ Kolpakov left Team Spirit .
