It seems that the final is being played, but there is no ideal Dota, there are no ideal builds. You can always play Dota better. I'll talk about this more. I'm not saying that the teams are bad, that's not what I mean, they're playing well, [awesome]. It's just that Dota is so difficult that even in the finals teams don't play at 100% of the game's potential.

Previously, Hertek discussed the level of competition in the discipline in different periods of time. In his opinion, the level of play is improving every year.
