In 2015, it was clear to everyone that "s1mple" is one of the most talented players in Counter-Strike history, but despite this, he was kicked many times even from TIR-2 teams, so what the matter is? Everything is very simple. Alexander Kostylev is an unusual player. While the rest fought each other to prove who is the best based on the HLTV rating, Sasha Kostylev got a much more difficult opponent: to become a world champion, he had to defeat his demons.
Doesn't it seem to you that this tournament has become boring, has become a relic of the past because it was just about 15 years old? Or, on the contrary, did IEM become like a quality alcoholic drink, which over the years not only added in taste, but also began to be viewed in a completely different way? Well, let's try!
Current Dota game style brought some new visions of heroes and items exploitation. Especially, its true sight about new items: Wraith Pact, Revenant's Broach, and Boots of Bearing. The last one is an attempt to return fast-push game manner with Beastmaster, Natures Prophet, Enigma, Chen, and Juggernaut. Maybe you still remember the five-man-push mid strategy or three-way lane with Vengeful Spirit+Dazzle+Luna combo, which ruins base in a 15-minutes border. It seems to me that long-forgotten 2013-2015 fast-push years return.
