Kuroky's Joyous Demeanor Regarding LAN Setup
Kuroky shared that the current setup of the five-day event made them feel Dota 2 a "real game" again.He also stressed that the remote online Dota 2 competitions made them not so joyous as compared to the face-to-face bubble setup.
He added that apart from the presence of that thrill, issues on online setup are not like that of the Local Area Network (LAN) type, which only poses nothing but hassles for players.
It should be noted that his team, Nigma, won a clean sweep against OG, 2-0. They completely displayed the monsters they are when adrenaline, pressure, and real-time banters are present within the vicinity of playing.
It can be said that their performance in their recent tournament involvement in Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) 2021-22 Tour 1 phase is lethargic in comparison to what they showed in the Gamers Galaxy's event. They exited the said tournament as sixth placers.
