Ivan “Pure~” Moskalenko, a player for the BetBoom Team Dota 2 roster, recently spoke out about the importance of managing emotions during gameplay. He shared these thoughts with his teammates ahead of their match against Aurora Gaming at the recent PGL Wallachia Season 4 tournament. Moskalenko`s comments were captured and featured in the team`s official YouTube vlog.
Addressing his team, Pure~ urged them to avoid losing matches or entire series simply because of uncontrolled emotional reactions. He specifically brought up their previous game against Tundra as an example, noting how their emotional state contributed to the outcome. Moskalenko stressed that showing intense emotions should be reserved for the end of the match, ideally when the enemy`s Ancient is about to be destroyed. “So come on, guys,” he reportedly said, “let`s scream after we break the throne.”
The report also briefly mentioned Matvey “MieRo” Vasyunin`s perspective on the busy competitive schedule faced by players. MieRo reportedly stated that despite the frequent travel and heavy workload, he views the abundance of tournaments as a source of extra motivation that drives his growth and development as a player.
