Which of the year's tournaments did you like the most with regards to

organisation and participants?

Lately many known teams are changing their roster and sponsors. Which of these teams in your opinion did this most successfuly and why?

How would you explain the phenomenal stability of your team - correct

management, friendly team, high salaries or something else?

Next International is not that far away, with even higher prizepool and fan attention. How do you evaluate your team's status for the competition at this moment?

Which teams do you think will be invited to the International? Which teams would you like to see there?

Can't not ask about your losses yesterday in Starladder Star Series Season 2 games vs CLG and MouseSports, because after your flawless first season, this was a huge surprise for everyone. Why did this happen?

Are you confindent that you will be able to win the second season of StarLadder?

And lastlly, some "offtopic" questions. Do you have a girlfriend, and if so,

how does she feel about your work?

Do you plan to earn money with cybersport or do you have different plans?

brings you the translated version of the interview for your reading pleasure:Finals of The Defense, in which we almost lost to Quantic, but managed take the initiative back into our hands.The Premier League, Starladder - tournaments which gave you some room for error so you don't drop out because of ping, rehost or something else.Time will show, but I feel that Darer will become stronger.Probably all of the above, but in general - when we are winning - everyone likes everything, everyone loves each other and close to no reasons for arguments are left, so we play together and quite successfuly while other teams break apart and change their roster more than every month.Right now about 50%, but we still have 3 months of persistent training to get into appropriate shape.Well, I know almost everyone who's going to be there, but I am not allowed to talk about it.We haven't played together for 20 days, took vacations, these were our first games together after a long break, we will return to our past form.Of course we'll win. *smiles and winks*I have a girlfriend, she's understanding even if I sometimes see disapproval, but she doesn't mention it, after all I really love her and give her as much attention as I can.Will see how my Dota career will go in the near future, but I don't plan to do this for more than 2-3 years (unless the game gains some unbelievable prospects).Special thanks tofor translating this interview!
