Kerry from Team Yandex Alimzhan "watson" Islambekov candidly spoke about his narrow hero pool on the professional Dota 2 scene during a personal Twitch stream. The player noted that despite his high rank, he does not feel confident on all carry heroes.
Alimzhan "watson" IslambekovI think the must-have item for Drow is the Pike. But I'm not a pro on Drow. I'm a pro on Shadow Fiend and Templar Assassin. That's it, I can't play anyone else. In fact, before BLAST, when we were still playing at bootcamp, I told the coach: "I have three heroes in my hero pool. I hope they won't ban them." And then everything got banned in the first phase.
According to Islambekov, the situation with his hero pool began to improve during the tournaments. After a successful pick of Templar Assassin, the list expanded to four heroes, and after the release of the new patch, Nature's Prophet became a reliable fifth option. Earlier, the esports player also discussed purchasing a cosmetic emblem if his team succeeds at the upcoming BLAST Slam VII tournament.
