Quinn "Quinn" Callahan, mid-laner for Gaimin Gladiators, shared his perspective on Team Spirit’s consistent playstyle and how Dota 2's meta evolves during a podcast hosted by Austin "Capitalist" Walsh. Reflecting on Spirit’s approach and the game’s mechanics, he remarked:
"Team Spirit will never change—their players will keep farming creeps, and the carry will get the required items."
He also commented on the cyclical nature of the meta, noting that Dota is just a game now, and he said,
"Teams stick to their playstyle until a patch comes out, and it's like rock-paper-scissors to decide what the meta is going to be - either hard carries, or auras, or tempo, like Team Liquid used to do. It's been like that for years."
Meanwhile, Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev, a professional Dota 2 player, provided insights into the strongest carry heroes in the current patch (7.37e) on his Telegram channel:
"Based on the latest patch, Dragon Knight (DK), Alchemist, and Morphling are the top-tier carries. Take advantage of them!"
Key Takeaways:
- Team Spirit’s Playstyle: Quinn points out their reliance on farm-oriented strategies with a strong carry focus, a hallmark of their gameplay even as the meta shifts.
- Evolving Meta: Patches often redefine dominant strategies, but core playstyle philosophies tend to persist among top teams.
- Patch 7.37e Highlights: RAMZES666 underscores Dragon Knight, Alchemist, and Morphling as the go-to carries, offering a valuable tip for players navigating the current meta.
These insights highlight the blend of strategic consistency and adaptability required in professional Dota 2.
