NS reveals who helped ATF become one of the best players in Dota 2

NS told who taught ATF to play Dota 2

Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov believes that even good players should not be turning down offers from Dota 2 teams if they have nowhere else to play. He cited a case of streaming Ammar “ ATF ” Al-Assaf who learned so much about the game from Nigma Galaxy ’s Kuro “ Kuroky ” Salehi Tahasomi and Maroun “ GH ” Merhej and then was able to show a decent level of preparation in Team Falcons .

It was through his personal twitch channel that the streamer shared this opinion with his followers.

"No kidding, if they call a dash-2 player who has nowhere to play in B8 and he turns his nose up, he's a fool. Even on teams like that, you still soak up experience. ATF went to Nigma. No results there, but soaking up wisdom from Kuroky and GH 's is good for a young player.

However great your performance is, you will need ten years for it to form as your base. This base is also present in Kuroky . Maybe he doesn’t understand what’s going on in dota anymore – too hard for him to play now. However he knows the base. You switch over to falcons after playing with such guy within 6 months and perform even better than you ever could before? These things would have taken years for you to get by yourself, while here he just told them to you."

Ammar " ATF " Al-Assaf played for Nigma Galaxy from December 2022 until April 2023; then the esportsman dropped out into reserves where he stayed until last December when he signed with Team Falcons . During the downtime of Nigma Galaxy Ammar " ATF " Al-Assaf managed spend two months on loan at Quest Esports.
