Vladislav "SilverName" Sinotov commented on one of the authors of popular guides for Dota 2, expressing criticism of Sergey "GreyShark" Martyshev’s guides during a personal stream. The moment from the stream was shared by the author of the Telegram channel LEGENDWP DOTA 2.
Sinotov questioned why Martyshev continues to create guides if he is not skilled at playing the game. He expressed frustration that such guides could negatively impact the level of play in Dota 2, suggesting that they contribute to poor gameplay. Sinotov was particularly critical of the idea of releasing guides when the creator is not proficient, as he felt this undermines the game.
Earlier, Sinotov had compared Hearthstone to Dota 2, stating that Hearthstone allows for multitasking such as eating and playing at a professional level simultaneously, whereas Dota 2 demands more focus and restricts such activities.
