Team Secret Captain Puppey Talks About Being a “Degenerate” and Winning at Dota 2
Team Secret captain Clement “Puppey” Ivanov, who has attended every edition of Dota 2’s The International, believes that being a “degenerate” is crucial to succeed in the game. In an interview with escorenews, Puppey stated, “You need to be unhealthy, practically. You’re not going to win against people who are healthy. People who are healthy, a lot of the time, they are not the best Dota 2 players.”
Contradictory Views: Ceb Disagrees
However, Sébastien “Ceb” Debs, OG legend and two-time TI champion, respectfully disagreed with Puppey. Ceb argues that one does not need to be a “degenerate” or 18 years old to excel in Dota 2. Instead, he believes that playing a lot is the key to success, emphasizing that Puppey’s commitment to the game has played a significant role in his accomplishments.
The Importance of Experience and Self-Care in Dota 2
The Dota 2 scene is witnessing the rise of young talent, but seasoned players like Puppey and even Ceb still hold a crucial place. Experience, wisdom, and taking care of oneself can greatly impact a player’s performance in Dota 2. Ceb believes that these factors have been instrumental in Puppey’s success this year.
