Former Virtus.pro Dota 2 captain Artem "Fng" Barshak shared his thoughts on how off-laners can achieve more victories in matchmaking during a personal Twitch stream. He discussed his ideal plan for playing the third position, which was highlighted in a clip published on the LEGENDWP channel on Telegram.
“When asked about the ideal strategy for the third position, Barshak stated: ‘The third position is all about farming creeps right now. The ideal plan is to just farm creeps and become a strong core. I don’t see a better gameplay strategy for the ‘three’ right now. Focus on buying auras or any items that can win the game. If auras can win the game, then buy auras.’”
Barshak addressed the issues that led to Virtus.pro's struggles, summarising it all under one word: "skill."
