“…the amount of criticism (‘he’s only gotten this in 6 years’), misinformation (‘TorteDelini only has 3k MMR’) and personal criticism (‘he was just trying to get popular’) which I get more and more. Since I don’t like the tone of voice with the negative attitude from the things I want to do, I will do something else,” he explained.

From here on, Torte de Lini will launch a “little Dota show” to find comfort in front of the camera. “I want to work more openly and comfortably in front of the camera. I’ve only been in front of the camera four times and have never watched them again, because I feel uncomfortable/uncomfortable,” he said. “I will try my hand at hosting a small online Dota show. I’ve produced a lot of content but never organized. I hope it will attract the community and spawn other creative ideas such as interviews, attending events,” he added, promising more details on this new project next week.

In one time standing in front of the camera at EPICENTER XL when he was the main interviewer at the event. Previously, Valve had partly recognized him and rewarded him for his contributions with an invitation to The International 2017. Torte de Lini worked with new streamers and appeared in the TI7 Collector’s Cache.
