Cooman revealed what action made Yatoro stand out at the tournament
Zaur "Cooman" Shakhmurzaev said Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk was the single player at DreamLeague 25 to garner unique picks as unlike others, he did not follow the meta.
The former esports athlete remarked this during a twitch stream.
“Many strong heroes are available, but Dota has its own problem where people copy what pro players do. In DreamLeague 25, people were narrowing down picks to 2-3 carry heroes. Only Yatoro was picking outside the box”
In his words, other pro players were using the standard and the most popular heroes and Yatoro managed to do the unthinkable during official games. Cooman explained that this is what makes the two time Dota 2 world champion so different from everyone else.
It’s worth noting that previously, Aurora once again shifted their roster a day before the tournament, citing the reason.
