Nix Says Carry Players Are Struggling to Find Dota 2 Matches

Dota 2 streamer Alexander “Nix” Levin said that playing carry has become difficult because finding a match on the position is increasingly challenging. In his view, many players now want to emulate Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk and Alan “Satanic” Gallyamov, creating strong demand for the role.

Levin also questioned why fewer players seem eager to follow Martin “Saksa” Sazdov’s example. He argued that Saksa produces substantial impact from the support position and said position five currently offers some of the strongest gameplay opportunities in Dota 2.

Earlier, Levin discussed health problems and their effect on his career. He said those difficulties had pushed him to continue developing, presenting them as a factor that encouraged further progress rather than stopping him.

The comments highlight a role imbalance in public matchmaking: carry remains highly sought after, while position five may offer more room for players seeking meaningful influence.

For upcoming games, teams and players may continue to value versatile support play, especially when carry queues are crowded.
