Satanic's brother revealed how the cyber athlete was introduced to Dota 2
Our giveaways from now on will happen every week instead of daily.
Karim, the brother of Team Spirit' s Dota 2 kerry Alan Satanic Galliamov, explained how the cyber athlete became familiar with the game.
He noted that he hardly ever got a PC as a child.
[Question: ‘How did Satanic meet Dota 2? How did it all start?’] It started because of my fault when we first came to Vietnam. Before that, I was living apart from them. He saw what Dota was. I think after that point he already had tunnel vision. He played Dota 24/7. Well, as much as we let him play. He couldn't play every day because it was mostly us taking up all the time. [Question: ‘If he had started playing earlier, he would have...?’] I think he would have raised 14k MMR by the time he was 14.
Unfortunately, for the first couple of years he hardly ever got a computer at all. I used to come and say, ‘Let me show you how to play’. Basically, they wouldn't let him play. He'd just sit there and watch. That's the way it is with older brothers. Unfortunately, he just didn't get time to play much.
[Look, that's something I've encountered. When my parents would go to work, they'd hide the keyboard and the mice. You had to look hard to find them. Unfortunately for Alan. It's probably fortunate that he didn't come to it, because he was more comfortable with it, he was allowed to play.
In my day, you had to read for half an hour to play and you play for half an hour, we were strict. With Alan, I think it was easier. I think he was allowed to play. I can't say completely, because I left Vietnam after a couple of years. I didn't live with him. I think then he was given more freedom, he played more.
Earlier, Karim Galliamov revealed how his brother dealt with criticism from content maker Alexander Nix Levin during BetBoom Streamers Battle 4. ‘Actually [I] was angry at Nix,’ Karim Galliamov noted.
