Boxi on the co-op mode in “Dark Carnival”: “I think they will release something like this again”

Team Liquid offlaner Samuel 'Boxi' Swan, in an interview with Hotspawn, assessed the current meta and the Dark Carnival event, and also admitted whether he would like the Battle Passes to return.

I think the meta is pretty good. Many heroes are playable - you can play with almost anything, with the possible exception of some characters. But that's always the case. True, the map is very large, because of this the games are long. I believe that they could reduce the number of neutral camps, do less rat-Dota, split-pushing, hide and seek in the forests, and so on. But on the other hand, this is normal. I don't really like the pushing meta. I think if farming became a little more difficult, everything would be fine.

Don't think. I could say Io, but some teams play with it, so it cannot be said that it was “slept through”. Some teams just don't play him. Same with Alchemist. At some point it seemed that he was “overslept”, but we played with him, Nigma Galaxy played.

Well, it's fun. I like mini-games. But I would like - perhaps they will release it - a mode, like in all other events, like “Aghanim’s Labyrant”. So that you can get together with friends. Many of my comrades who abandoned Dota would gather now to play something like this. That would be ideal. I think they will release something like this again.

The Battle Pass generated a lot of prize money for The International - I'd love a TI like that. Maybe not 30, not 40 million, but so that there is more excitement around it. It used to be high because of the prize money and other things. Now Dota is still hyped, but not as much anymore. But I think events are cool too. People who don't spend money on cosmetics should also be able to enjoy events with friends for free. But, yes, we could do a little more for The International.

Earlier, Magomed 'Collapse' Khalilov shared his opinion about the “Dark Carnival” event. He also enjoys mini-games and is nostalgic for modes like Aghanim's Labyrinth.
