In a GosuGamers special, the charismatic Singaporean captain sits down with GosuGamers to discuss his thoughts about Dota 2's imminent arrival, his preparations for The International at Gamescom and his predictions for the event.

“ It is kind of worrying knowing Maelk and co. are already training hard. ”

“ I'm still mistaking Shadowfiend for Doombringer. ”

Scythe.SG's roster:

Following a slump in the Asian DotA scene the past few months, many teams have left us wondering about their existence. With the announcement of The International, it looks like these teams have once again sprung back into action.Joining back his old teammates, hyhy and Scythe's full Singaporean roster will be making their grand entrance at Gamescom after falling into obscurity with the conclusion of the I-City Championships in January.Today, Gosugamers brings you a special interview with the man himself, hyhy."All of us were each into our own stuff, be it work or studies. Whatever free time was spent playing League of Legends, since DotA 1 is kinda dead in Singapore."""Basically just playing and adapting to the game, but it has been difficult as the game is still in beta and naturally unstable, with occasional crashes. Another problem for few of us is the system requirements for Dota 2, as we have teammates running on 1.0 ghz processors or something. We can't play at all till they get an upgrade.""Stalking girls on facebook.""We haven't had any plans for bootcamps yet, as we want to get our individual skills up first before going into teamplay. We would probably do so a few days before Germany.""We have not been training with other teams yet. We are still waiting for a few of us to get the PC upgrade before doing so. The rest of us are simply playing as parties of 2-3. It is kind of worrying knowing Maelk and co. are already training hard.""We are leaving on 15th of August and heading back on the 22nd. I doubt the itinerary Valve set for us allows any free time for sightseeing.""hy, crispy.roy, tofuboi, xy and Chawy. We are still in the midst of deciding our roles. But mostly Chawy and I will carry, while tofu and xy take the other solo roles.""I haven't seen the other teams play as a team, so I can't give an accurate gauge. But I will say I'm satisfied at the rate we are improving. Only time will tell.""Russians. They are fierce people and I am scared of them. Mostly Dendi.""I don't think I'm allowed to go into details, so I'll leave it at that. No, we haven't prepared strategies yet. I'm still mistaking Shadowfiend for Doombringer, etc. Like i said, teamplay and strategies will come later.""Europe. The russians.""It's Valve, they will manage somehow.""Probably Dota 2, or I'll make a career out of selling pirated Dota 2 copies.Oh yeah when sniper assasinates, it plays the sound of the counterstrike AWP weapon being fired - which is why it's my favorite hero now."
