Esports player Nikita "Daxak" Kuzmin shared his thoughts on whether he uses the double rating bet in Dota 2 matchmaking during a livestream, a moment captured on the LEGENDWP DOTA 2 Telegram channel.
"[Question: 'Do you use the double rating bet?'] I rarely use it. When I do use it, it feels like my chances of winning decrease sharply. It just feels like a hassle to use, you know?
It creates pressure for me, or my teammates. Or it adds extra motivation for the opponents. As a result, instead of playing the match to the end, I end up getting frustrated much earlier. You might be playing until the end, but because of the emotions involved, you can’t keep yourself in check."
Earlier, Daxak explained why it would be difficult for him to find a tier-1 or tier-2 team. "I’ve had conflicts with everyone. It’s not certain that it can even be fixed," Kuzmin stated.
