Commentator and analyst at RuHub Vladimir Maelstorm Kuzminov shared his opinion on the state of the professional Dota 2 scene in the region. According to him, for a long time he does not remember “such sad pre-tournament layouts” for teams from the CIS before DreamLeague Leipzig Major.
Studio analysts and their opinions are one thing, the opinion of commentators is another. The opinion of the experts of the offices has a completely different quality, but in this case, according to the sensations, they all + – agree. I have not remembered such sad pre-tournament layouts for a very long time. pic.twitter.com/jxGOe9pgKB

beneath us are only incredibly weak regions, or teams from these regions. There is much more faith in any average eminent collective. This is despite the fact that our bunker is very popular (relatively), besides we have a bunch of talented players, including young ones, and there are enough experienced ones.

The analyst believes that the biggest problem in the region is the inability to combine strong players in one composition.
the inability of one of the strongest regions according to performers to collect many really strong compositions is our biggest problem. Omit VP, NaVi, and Gambit. Where else? We have enough players for 5-6 strong teams, as in China, which every minor either takes, or in the top three.

In general, I have a feeling that the CIS is like a parts factory that rivets excellent parts, but you can only assemble them together at a factory somewhere out there, or only with other parts. It’s hard for each other.

And again, I’m not talking about our top teams, but about temixes and teams, whose membership is individually several times higher than what they ultimately get together. If so, you can compare at all.

Kuzminov answered the reasoning Yaroslav NS Kuznetsov and Ilya Lil Ilyyuk. The analyst pointed out the poor self-organization of players from the CIS, and the e-sportsman mentioned the dependence on contracts.
Players themselves can hardly self-organize (this is extremely rare) for obvious reasons (they are children, and mostly CWS, basically), and we have few adequate clubs that would work in the direction of selection, selection and training, same China a lot. That’s all.

It doesn’t work like that. At least because some parts do not stack with others, while others have contracts with factories.
