- my greetings to all fans of Na'Vi
today, at StarLadder Season 7
we decided to make an interview with gamers, streamers and funny guys
Solo and Dread
hello guys
- hello guys
- hello
- before asking you the 1st question I want you to pay your attention to the fact
that we decided to make this interview with the both of you simultaneously
as our fans associate you with the duet
by the way, in your opinion, how it happened to you?
- we communicated well
we became friends
- yes, we've been playing in one team for long
first he owed me some money and later we had a talk and started our friendship
- I guess that in all your interviews everyone mentions this sinister situation with 3-2-2
my question doesn't deal with it directly
I just want to know whether you are fucked down so much with it?
or you enjoyed this situation due to your self-deprecating humor
or you've found funny fan-arts?
- or even some money
- be sure, I had no pleasure with this story
actually I worried a lot
there's nothing pleasant in this story excepting the fact of our promotion
I'm talking about my team and me
this story is unpleasant to me
I've got only unpleasant associations with it
my deed was bad
I've already apologized the community, fans, spectators, haters etc
while giving an interview to Faker
as this action was really bad
I have no intention to do it again
nothing good about it
- was it hard to get an amnesty?
or it was StarLadder's initiative
well, I was applying for it
I asked almost everyone to meet me halfway
to give me one more chance
I did regret so much
everything had happened like that
it was my initiative
later they heard my pray for pardon and decided to help
- everything is best when it's ended
for the time you've been playing
you had to change your roles in the games
what's your favorite?
- I think I was the best in the middle
taking into account that I did it for only 3 months
I did it better than I've been supporting and carrying out the role of the captain at this tournament
that's why I think that I'm better in the middle than in the role of support
- as for me, I was useless almost everywhere that's why
I even don't know what to say
that's true
even this cameraman offends me
but that's alright
I guess I can overcome it
though I'd like the Police, which is standing behind the cam
to manacle him as I'm a bit afraid of staying here
- are you scared because he can steal your money?
- well, people know not the whole negative information about him
that's why I won't reveal it
as he can suffer because it might be turned against him
- you have a great gaming experience
so please, make a ranking of roles in Dota 2
according to its difficulty
it's clear that all the roles in this game are of great importance but still
- as for me the captain's role is the most important one
no matter at which position he coordinates the team
whether it's the middler, supporter, harder
as it can be in different teams
the coordinator's role is the most important one
as the person pays much less attention to his own game
in order to check the team's actions
considering each hero's game separately
I'd say that the carry's task is the most difficult
one must know many different situations and be well oriented there
I think this role is more important than the support's one
- I can't agree with this statement
as carry isn't the most difficult role
as it's much more difficult to play on the hard line
I guess it may be the most difficult role
and I'd give the 2nd place to support's role
as the game depends much more on this player
as they take great responsibility on how to play
as the game of all the team depends on their actions
after them carry will start playing and the middler as well
hard liner is the most difficult role
- Every role is hard for you, Andrey.
- that's why obeisance to good hard liners
yes, I'm a streamer and I'm proud of it!
- that's right
- I can stream even right now if I want
- I have no doubts about it
- thanks
- by the way, what about the streamer's and commentator's role?
do you like it and are you going to keep on working with SLTV?
- actually I don't know yet
as I have a desire to come back and play a little
- don't do it
- maybe it's infantility and I've already played out
but I feel this nostalgie
remember all that time…
- … like having 0-8-0 stat on Lone Druid…
- …it would be great to try once again
- I agree with you
- it would be great to come back to the game and play with nice guys
try the team play which wash't easy for me lately
- ok, you were a player, commentator
- not player
- even not player but reporter as everyone remembers your video
what else would you like to try if you haven't tried it yet
are there in eSports any roles you want to try yourself in?
- actually I've been thinking about being massage therapist
this idea came to my mind long ago but I haven't tried it yet
I'd also try myself as a barman in cyber arena
I think it's very funny
so many people
their orders
thinking about the logistics in order to find the best way to the tables
thought the crowds of fans
- I guess your streams from the bar counter will be much more popular
good idea
- actually we understood the direction of your thoughts
- you've been the participants of our shows
such as GPM Show or The Uneven Fight
what are the brightest memories? what did you like or dislike there?
- let me remember…
oh, yes, I have some memories
there was a losing fight
I guess I participated only in GPM Show
I wasn't good there but we had much fun
I was with my friends
it was interesting
the idea itself was really cool
I liked it
- I remember that I got more GPM than this person who is sitting next to me
well, it's not a great achievement
it's just a meanness
in general, it was really funny
the cast of supports was really cool
the guys were awesome
it was pleasant to play
- thanks for praising our actions
I guess now there's a time for criticizing
what calls for your negative emotions on LANs? and particular here?
- I guess I feel negative emotions because of...
- such stupid interviews, right?
- why they're stupid?
I think one can feel the negative emotions when he takes the last place
or can't pass the group stage
everything losses its colors
people become aggressive
there's Cafe Dno here in Kiev
for those, who have lost
- as for me I feel the negative emotions because of the great amount of spectators
and little space
- you hate spectators, all of them
- I guess this person demands too much attention
but that's ok
I'd like to add that it's great as they support the players
the problem is that it's too difficult to get in and get out of here because of them
this is the main disadvantage
the rest is great here on StarLadder
- There’s no zeppelin.
what will we do with it?
- I guess we'll fix it somehow
especially after your comments on this topic
as for you
no matter what you do
all people in community treat you like interesting guys
everyone watches your streams
you can even play any custom WarCraft map
and gather more people than even super-duper Chinese tournament
the question is
what does an interesting person mean to you?
- I think that first of all it's some kind of charisma
actually everyone starts from the beginning
I remember Dread's streams when he had only 400-500 people watching him
step by step he was gaining spectator's recognition and
he was doing it in the right way
person should be all-rounded
he should be funny or serious depending on the situation
he should be interesting and devote yourself to your work completely
- could you repeat the question please
- yes, sure
everyone knows you as an interesting person in our community
what means for you to be an interesting person?
how can you describe it?
- I don't know
I guess I'm not interesting person at all
I'm famous because of Viktor, Albert and Solo
especially when he was interesting and funny person
when he wasn't such private person, private gull
there just people who made me popular
as for me, I'm not an egghead and clever at all
that's why I even don't know the qualities of interesting person
well this person must know lots of things
he must understand lots of topics he must he erudite and
tell interesting facts when nobody talks
for example, can you say something?
- when no one talks?
- we can keep silence to help you feel the atmosphere
- it's so cool here
- actually that was what I was speaking about
you ask this question the wrong people
- ok, do you have any examples of people who you consider to be interesting ones?
- are you talking about the community?
- actually yes
but if you can mention people who aren't in community you can do that as well
- I think there are many interesting and funny people in community
actually many people who spend much time in all this stuff, I mean Dota 2
are very interesting and erudite people
I think the majority
as there people who are joking on very primitive level
and those people whose jokes are very sophisticated
I think that Dota 2 community over the age 18
or even 16
are interesting people
more interesting than some LoL players
- actually Solo is right
I was joking speaking about erudites
in fact even when I started my playing career
I noticed that I can understand these people much easier
I'm talking not only about Dota 2 but about the humor as well
people her seem to be even more funny
I don't know
eSportsmen seem to be different from the rest people
- I guess I should ask you something about Dota 2 at last
what about your season expectations?
who will be your favorites?
- why?
I guess nothing changed from the previous one
actually Alliance and Na`Vi are 2 the world's strongest teams now
there are middle-class teams
for example Kaipi
which show us interesting Dota 2
this is very interesting team
we aren't so good
as was judged by this StarLadder
actually I want to keep on playing
I'll improve my skills
I'll go back and try my best
as a player, not like a streamer
I want to play, streaming isn't mine
I understood that
- so, Na'Vi or Alliance and with which score?
- now? here on StarLadder?
- yes
- I guess Alliance will win with the score 3-2
- what do you think about that?
- despite the fact that I support Na'Vi
it seems to me that Alliance is going to win this tournament whether with the score of 3-1
or with the score 3-2
as now there's the 2nd game and
Na'Vi won the 1st easily
but now they are in a trouble as Alliance has matched
and started playing their great and strong Dota 2 and won
the same story was on the International
there was a great struggle there
I guess Alliance has 55% for victory
and Na'Vi only 45 %
the difference is too little but
in series of best of 5 it really matters
- thanks for the interview
I wish you to have fun despite all these crowds
I want to thank all those people who watched us as well
