Streamer Alexander "Nix" Levin reflected on the playing style of young cyber athletes in Dota 2. According to him, most of them are afraid to take responsibility and try not to ruin their personal statistics. His thoughts were prompted by Teng "Kordan" Tzin Yao's performance in the Team Secret - Virtus.pro match.
“You can imagine what a bunch of timid guys are playing Dota now. All they care about is how not to die and not to spoil their KDA, so that Puppey doesn't [elbow] them. They will never take any risks. All items are always on defense. The era of aggressive players is over. Only cowards are left.” - Alexander "Nix" Levin
Earlier, Nix cited the reasons for ending his career in Dota 2. He noted that before leaving the pro scene, he began to experience severe psychological problems, which forced him to seek specialized help.
