Collapse Reveals Lango's Secret: Explosive Ultimates Key to Countering New Meta Threat
Collapse Exposes Lango's Weaknesses in FISSURE Universe Meta Analysis
Team Spirit's star offlaner Magomed "Collapse" Khalilov has given bettors crucial insights into Dota 2's newest hero meta after testing Lango in FISSURE Universe Episode 8. The Russian powerhouse revealed the explosive-damage heroes required to counter the versatile newcomer - intelligence that could prove invaluable for Dota 2 Predictions in ongoing tournaments.
The Aghanim's Power Spike
"The hero gets an incredible buff with Aghanim's Scepter," Collapse explained during the tournament broadcast. "He's tough to play against unless you have certain good heroes with explosive ultimate damage, and a good lane against him." This strategic revelation comes after Collapse dominated Strongboys with an 8/4/9 KDA performance on Lango, topping charts in GPM, XPM, healing, and damage.
Tournament Win Rate Implications
With Lango currently boasting a 65% win rate across 23 FISSURE Universe matches, Collapse's analysis suggests teams may start:
- First-picking Lango in draft phases
- Prioritizing heroes like Zeus or Ancient Apparition as counters
- Developing new support/offlane flex strategies
This evolving meta creates prime opportunities for value bets on underdog teams who adapt quickly. Our AI Predictions system tracks these hero trends in real-time across all View Matches.
Betting Outlook
While Collapse believes Lango "might become less common as the patch progresses," the current lack of prepared counters makes early tournament matches particularly volatile. Watch for:
- Overinflated odds on Lango-first-pick teams
- Value in live betting when counters appear
- Potential upsets during the adaptation phase
