Professional Dota 2 player Aliaksei "Smiling Knight" Svirydau commented on the announcement of Heroic's roster exclusively for Telecomasia.net.
Smiling Knight believes that the team will succeed in their home region, but may have problems on the global stage:
I think they [Heroic] will be a top team in America, but the global stage will be harder for them. They'll be able to get into the top 6-8 at tournaments, but beyond that - they just might not be skilful enough.
