News, articles, posts: “Miposhka is a genius support”. “Collapse MVP”, “Larl finally made it”, “Yatoro is the best carry in the world”. However, there seems to be a lack of appreciation for TS.Mira’s play. Is this some kind of pos4 curse (playing in the shadow of your team)?

    Because the role of supports within a team is not just too hard for casual viewers to see, it’s also often not even shown on the broadcast. One of the most important things for a support player to be doing in game is to simply be intaking information on the map for the team, and filtering what information is relevant to their team. Obviously, even pro core players have 10x the awareness of information available to them as even immortal support players, but there is a certain limit to their ability to intake information due to higher moment to moment micro requirements compared to support players. Intaking, processing, and communicating information is one of the main roles of a support player in a team.
