hey guys this is artm second day of
dream hack Summer 2015 and I'm here with
com with me with Team from Team bur
United how man how you doing yeah man
good I'm I'm a bit tired but hanging on
it works right yeah it works uh could
you please introduce yourself a bit to
the Russian fans who are watching us
right now who are you what are you doing
um come with me known as Alex maybe DOTA
player and I just play DotA what are you
do besides
da uh well in free time I guess I
usually play some football with my
friends just go to some parties and just
just regular hanging out you know
playing some CS some FIFA and PS and
stuff cool um how is this dream hack is
going for you obviously you've been on
many dream hex already games games
asides uh how's your experience so far
how was the travel nothing unusual or
well the travel is a bit long because we
don't really have direct flights from
Romania to here as far as you know and
then you fly to another city not even
this one so I have to go from Romania to
Netherlands then to stet and gildberg
and then you take another bus and then
another bus then you finally get here
eventually but yeah I mean it works Pro
Gamer life right it's a bit exhausting
but I mean you go to sleep and you're
fine the next day it's worth it for sure
yeah let's let's talk a bit about your
about a team burden United so you guys
appeared somewhere in February this year
uh who came up with this idea just to to
gather the team and and rock well I
wanted to just play some DOTA you know
cuz I was tired of playing pops and
stuff and uh I played some screens with
some random people and then I met
nekroman mhm and I thought I wanted to
try him out so I thought maybe I will
make a mix team and just play in some
qualifiers or something and then I just
asked people that I thought would be
good to play with and this is how we
ended up together but initially we had
sexy bambo mhm and then there were some
conflicts and one of the players didn't
want it happens it happens yeah him and
another guy didn't want to play together
anymore and he just leave and then we
got
sucks um the question I wanted to ask
you for a long time why did you why do
you have this logo uh of the spir on bir
United uh why did so who came up with
this idea it's because of my nuts of
course you know the the nuts fer and it
looks like a beaver too right and sing
sing is uh I never thought about that
but okay that's that's that's
interesting there's a few resemblances
to like player nicknames and Ales and
whatnot
yeah so after after you guys formed the
team you've you've dived in right in the
action you've been invited to many
different tournaments uh you've you've
been play playing a lot um how how is it
going for you like a lot of teams are
stressed now super stressed nowadays uh
because of the because of the
tournaments some are saying that oh man
I just don't want to play so much stuff
I'll just like play one League uh other
other teams other players are saying
that that's like our career right that's
what we doing for for living so uh
what's the attitude in in your
team well right now nobody's motivated
because obviously they qualifiers was a
bomber for us but me personally I like
playing and I don't mind playing much
like if I have to play almost every day
it's fine if I play every day maybe gets
a bit too stressful you know you need
like a day off or two but let's say 5
days a week is fine if I play every day
I don't
mind and uh well now we have to find
motivation again you know when you lose
the main like you were focusing to win
the qualifier and that was your main
Target and then you lose you need to
find something new to look forward to
but we haven't found that yet so guess
we just is hanging a bit now mhm we'll
see how it going how it will go um like
recently weal announced this new major
system so they want to like fix the
situation with over situation of the
tournament and and all all this stuff
what do you think about it uh did you
already like like read about it did you
talk with with with your teammates and
other players about it well it's going
to bring more stability right M nobody's
going to look to change players
constantly because you won't be allowed
to anyways MH and it's going to make
teams want to work out their issues
instead of just moving on all the time
mhm and I mean it should increase the
level of play a bit more and there's
going to be a lot more interest in
playing now yeah that's true before you
would be like okay there's eight months
where we have to play but we don't have
to play many tournaments we just need
some decent results and if the results
are good enough you get an invite for
the and then you just need to start
practicing few months before to get in
shape but I I hope Majors is going to
change it it's going to be better
okay so let's say if there will be like
three major tournament in a year besides
uh TI that means that you guys will need
to uh choose which tournaments and
leagues uh you want to play and you'll
you'll have to decline some mutation to
another tournament uh so in this case uh
what would be for you the most important
thing in a tournament uh to to decide if
you're going to play it or not like
price pool or maybe length of a
tournament or something else well I mean
from aside from the obvious stuff like
price pool and like whoever is attending
and stuff I would say we would probably
look for the most comfortable
tournaments like close to us so most
likely Europe as much as we can and then
if you are to go to forlands and maybe
just one in America one in China just to
get the feeling of other teams M but
maybe that's just me but I prefer
traveling close you know it's
nicer um you mentioned before that you
play playing CS Goo uh like I I I really
noticed that like most almost all the 2
players are playing CS goo I are you
following the scene or you just like
playing casually in your free time uh I
watch sometimes but not so often I guess
I watch DOTA most of the time I don't
have too much time for CS I guess yeah
but I I like the game it's nice I enjoy
playing
it um do you play any other games like
maybe some casual stuff something not
competitive like d say
go uh what's the new game called from
Bard the the M Heroes of the Storm yeah
I played a few games of that with my
real life friends they play it all the
time but I play like five games maybe so
it's not much but no I only play like da
and then some CS in between that's all
what do you think about heroes uh
because that's like the new generation
and the new game of like this kind of
mob genre but not exactly because there
are some like obviously there are some
difference from DOTA League of Legends
what do you think about the game do you
think it has potential like as an
Esports or I mean it can work obviously
at some point like any game can work as
long as it's I don't know it looks nice
and there's good competition but the
game doesn't seem to be so complex so
let's just say it's not as challenging
as other games and it can get a bit
boring I
suppose but uh yeah I I don't like
that's the only thing I don't like about
it you know that's why I play DotA cuz
there's always so much stuff you have to
take think about and it's nice to have a
challenge
uh do you play any other like maybe
single player games or uh it's all about
like multiplayer for you no just
multiplayer I don't like solo
games I don't know you're just playing
alone what's what's the fun in that you
know yeah no competition right no action
um you've been on the scene for quite a
while like since 2008 uh or so uh what
did change since then like in the in the
Pro scene in to like maybe some some
good points which you like maybe some
bad points which you don't like because
you know many people are saying that now
it's like all about the money you know
sellout boys and also not I mean in a
way it is but it's a business in right I
mean you have to think like that so if
you think about it most of the players
that commit to playing they stop their
studies so they can focus on their game
and then it has to be profitable cuz
otherwise you just end up wasting all
your time and you don't get
anything but yeah I don't I guess what I
don't like about this scene is maybe
there's a bit too many tournaments
actually maybe maybe but I'm not sure I
mean you can always not play in all of
them if anything yeah it just feels like
if there's too many tournaments the
quality will drop of the tournaments too
and then the audience is like not so
hyped
anymore but it also depends on the teams
because uh I mean some teams they just
can decline invitation to the
tournaments do you think what would be
the right what be the what would be the
best decision to fix the situation
should the team just like start dropping
all the tournaments and saying like hey
guys we want to concentrate like on one
two leagues maybe or or what should they
do I mean I think that's what's going to
happen anyway with the majors coming
right I think there's going to be a lot
less tournaments and I think the top
teams are going to look to play as
little as they can
so they can just focus on the
majors okay well man thank you very much
for the interview and good luck in the
near future hope you'll find motivation
and the power to stay together and play
more and rock the scene any shout outs
