Team Falcons offlaner Ammar “ATF” Assaf has declared himself the team`s new drafter. In an interview during the BLAST Slam III Dota 2 broadcast, he presented a funny list of rules for his teammates, which included prohibitions on dying and losing their respective lanes.
Assaf also provided a specific explanation for Team Falcons allowing Team Spirit to pick Nature`s Prophet.
It`s clear that I am now our team`s new genius drafter. I gave our opponents a hero [Nature`s Prophet] who reaches 30k net worth by the 35-minute mark. Yes, he doesn`t seem like a balanced character, but what can you do? I out-drafted them. Nature`s Prophet isn`t that broken of a hero.
According to ATF, he is now the sole decision-maker regarding hero selections for Team Falcons.
I know my handwriting is terrible, but what can you do? `Team Falcons Goals for the Tournament (What Must Happen)`.
We must win our lanes, because that`s how you win matches.
No dying – just don`t die, it shouldn`t happen.
No microphone issues. This happens often for us.
As the drafter, I pick all the heroes. The players have no power in this matter. I will ask for their opinion, but if I don`t like it, I`ll just pick the hero I want myself.
Last one: `I will first pick Bristleback until I die.` I`m talking about real life. [This didn`t happen in the match against Spirit] because they banned him. They fear me.
Team Falcons secured first place in Group A at BLAST Slam III and advanced directly to the semifinals of the championship.
