Larl named the best midlaner in professional Dota 2
Denis “ Larl ” Sigitov named Stanislav “ Malr1ne ” Potorak the toughest opponent among all the mid laners in Dota 2. The cybersportsman also mentioned Danil “ gpk ” Skutin from BetBoom Team , but stated that his heroes are not in the meta right now.
The Team Spirit mid shared a similar opinion on BetBoom Esports' YouTube channel.
“Depends on the heroes. The most sweaty one is probably Malr1ne . Especially when he gets going. gpk 's strength is Templark and SF, but they're not in the meta. He often picks heroes that can't do much from laning.”
Also as part of the interview, Team Spirit 's mid stated that his squad has a fairly high chance of winning The International 2024 tournament, as the team has gone through the same solid preparation as before last year's TI.
Highlighting the main rivals at the tournament, the cyber sportsman named Team Falcons , Gaimin Gladiators , Team Liquid and Tundra Esports .
