In his latest interview, well-known English-speaking analyst Alex "Mauisnake" Ellenberg expressed his opinion regarding the young Ukrainian sniper - Daniil "headtr1ck" Valitov.
The full quote from Mauisnake:
Having studied the fans' reaction to NIP's results, I saw that many believe that headtr1ck should be saved, arguing that such a strong player does not deserve such a weak team. I completely disagree with this.When I watch NIP matches and specifically follow him, I see that he simply holds one point at the beginning of the round and rarely moves afterward. As a result, someone comes into his sight, he kills the opponent, although he often misses, and then just goes to save. This is why headtr1ck has a high individual rating that does not reflect what this player brings to his team on the server. I believe that headtr1ck is overrated. He is one of the most passive snipers in the world.
