feels nice to be on a streak and it
actually feels really nice to beat teams
cuz a lot of people give flag about you
know beating IG at Red Bull you know not
the strongest competition but now we
beat the likes of the Chinese teams and
all the other good teams so feels like
now we actually have some nice results
to enter TI
in um can each of you write I mean make
some comments on your overall overall
performance in this
tournament uh of who of the entire team
or the entire team us I think we played
fairly good
uh we I think we were a little bit uh
more comfortable in the whole system of
picking anyway so a lot of teams wanted
to play a little bit more very crazy
against us in the end to get a win out
of us and we were still pretty calm so I
would say we played like 90% good or
85 so in this tournament all six TI
Chinese teams TI invited Chinese teams
attended but the top three teams are all
Western teams how do you feel about that
um I think uh soon as the patch came out
they are a bit slower to adapt to the
patch and but in a few months I think uh
they will start to understand a bit more
and if they find a way to play this uh
patch I think they will
become very strong again but
uh right now I see
us and the Empire who were in the finals
a bit higher level than the Chinese team
right
now in the third game Empire's rubic
gave you a lot of trouble how come you
guys didn't ban it in the fourth game um
well rubic is a hero that can uh do a
lot of things in a game I think uh Rubik
isn't a hero that you should be scared
of uh even though he has the ability to
steal ultimates and maybe turn turn team
fights it's pretty much the same as any
other hero and uh in the last game felt
like the Rubik wasn't going to do much
in the trailing that we had against them
so we decided to let them keep the Rubik
and so do you can you please rate or
compare the differences in details in
team fights between the two teams it's
hard to speak in detail I think their
empire was indeed the best team in case
of
engagements and it kind of felt like
hard to play against them in this whole
tournament compared to the other teams
because they took the fight so well well
uh I think they're just very quick on
their movement so and we are also a
pretty fast team so
yeah in the third game when you guys
five man smoked and you guys went to the
other side let's see bottom right and
it's where when it's where you guys
killed the corer and from the audience
perspective that's Kill by killing the
Corey it's the reason why your position
was exposed thus causing the team wipe
do you agree and why did you decide to
kill the
corer um I think we had the idea that
they were on the on the opposite side of
the map that they actually were we
thought that they were in the radiant
jungle and the corer was flying back
from the re jungle so we assumed that
they were in that position and uh that's
why we decided to kill the corer but uh
I guess in hindsight it might be as you
say that killing the corer might have
led to us all dying this question is for
fobby obviously
um as the captain one of the strengths
is to discover each players well each
teammates strength what do you think
each of your teammates strengths
are uh it's quite kind of obvious uh and
uh the community also realizes that we
have three people from three different
teams and uh we all have our strengths
of understanding how we want to play and
if we mix that together then we're all
going to be we we're going to have a lot
of strategies and a lot of confidence in
it but uh the only thing that's
connected here is that if we all trust
that everything kind of works uh the
alliance play style the EG play style
the na'vi play style if they all work at
some extent then we can all use them and
not uh uh be negative on something to
like play a split push or play a a kind
of fiveman or play a some I don't know
YOLO na'vi strategies or something like
that so in in that sense uh if we're all
comfortable understanding that
everything works by percentage of course
not everything is all good in one patch
uh we have that in our Synergy the
questions for the band picker now S4 we
see that you have a lot of lineups with
different strategies and different
themes um say the healing strategy from
the last game who came up with these
strategies and how many do you have in
your hands I mean first of all uh we're
picking Heroes that we like to play and
we're comfortable it and uh we are when
we're in the draft stage all of us are
considering a lot of Heroes but in the
end we have to boil one boil down to a
few of them so it's a struggle to uh you
know uh discard some of the heroes and
see which one you your team that fits
your team and your players and
then uh if it's possible to bring it in
versus uh what your opponent has right
now
so um so it's a it's a pretty hard task
uh because there's a lot of voices but
uh something that has to be done this
question is forz you have such great
performance in secret right now in an
interview of EG they mentioned that
artey is
a is more form oriented player and it
doesn't really suit their play style
what do you have to say to that
I think I'm the type of player that'll
adapt to whatever uh I feel or my team
feels is necessary I have some struggles
adapting to some sorts of style like uh
you can refer to 683 the style like of
Jugger and troll I had some problems
with that kind of set of Heroes but now
with this patch I feel like the hero
pool that I am I want to play and I am
thinking that's good I think I can play
those Heroes very well and I can adapt
to whatever I need to do this question
is for 4 we know that Empire is known
for their good Bas Master but in all
four games today you didn't seem to ban
Beast Master at all did you think did
you do prepar uh did you prepare against
them or did you think it was an it
wasn't that good um if I speak for
myself I I don't feel like the hero is
strong right now uh so basically we were
not afraid of playing against a hair at
all uh we did prepare like what could be
strong versus the hair itself but if
they will pick it we we'll be ready for
it basically this question is for puppy
ti5 is coming up do you have any plans
of preparation and are there any teams
that you will focus on studying or
preparing for uh you study it one by one
I don't think you can ever do a move
where you study everybody at the same
time uh DOTA is a game of momentum you
you need to study your enemy which you
are going to face against early uh not
before the games or something that a day
before but overall trying to study
everything is going to burn you out so
take it a little bit easier we're just
going to do the same thing which we
always do I think it's working out for
us anyway and uh we're just going to be
prepared for matches of course we're
going to have some strategies and stuff
and we're going to either scrim or uh
have some practice going on but you
should not ever overdo things you've won
many titles recently are you ever afraid
of your opponents figuring secret
out uh figuring us out is not the main
problem I think which we ever feel is uh
a thoughtful
thing I I think we still have a lot of
Heroes which we want to pick and it just
uh ends up that we just have to make
more things available for ourselves if
you go into a team thinking that they
will constantly do the same things is
when you might actually screw screw
yourself over because a team over a
month will have new strategies new ideas
and if you only prepare against the
things that you have behind there like
before then you might screw up I I don't
feel like uh I'm worried about anything
all I'm uh thinking about is to fix all
the problems we still have create more
diversities and just keep on going at
the same Pace as we're going this
question is was live we've noticed that
you take a smoke in between every game
What's the difference difference between
Chinese
and that's a really bad question
man do you feel that you get an extra
buff by wi slippers to a match I guess
so I mean we haven't lost a game until
now so I must say must be lucky or
something but I think it's the shorts
more than the
slippers for we can see that any team
can play good on about one year and then
they make changes in their rer so can
the team exist without any changes in
rer for a long
time only if humans can exist like that
but they don't so changes have to
happen
