"Dota 2 more and more becomes a real business."

On inactivity and coaching.

— I had a few invitations from teams, but none of them interested me. I decided to try myself as a coach of Digital Chaos, because I wanted to help Martin “Saksa” Sadov and Rasmus “MiSeRy” Filipsen. I learned a lot about coaching, but still wanted to play. While I was inactive. I kept on playing as much as I always did. I think I am in a good mood and can come back to the professional scene because I learned a lot about myself and about teamwork this year.



On teamwork.

— Dota 2 more and more becomes a real business. And it requires a more or less professional approach, not only to the game itself, but also to other things we see more of in big sports. I would say that Dota 2 is still the same, but teams that show good results spend even more time on teamwork than before.



On ex teams.

— I would say the most professional team was LGD Gaming International because we all lived in one house, we had a set of rules and so on. Unfortunately at that time we weren’t ready for that. Things didn’t end up the way they could have.



On leaving Alliance.

— At that time we simply couldn’t work well together. Plus, the pressure from the fans, who wanted to see at least some changes to the roster, possibly had its effect.



On MiSeRy.

— Me and Rasmus played together for a very long time and we had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, we couldn’t achieve anything in big tournaments, and if you can’t achieve things — it’s time to change something. At that time I wasn’t quite mature yet and wasn’t constantly focused on success. I don’t think we would ever play together again. Not because of some problems, but because that stage has passed.



On Na`Vi.

— We played a few practice matches against different teams before we decided on that roster, the whole process took about two weeks. In game we speak English, and so far everything goes well, we have no problems with communication. I am acquainted with Malthe “Biver” Winther. We played a few pubs together and I think he has potential. Also, he is also a very nice teammate. Regarding boot camps, I don’t have any problems staying in Kiev. Of course, I will miss my girlfriend, but constant moving — it is a part of the game.



On the new patch.

— The new patch turned out way too big and it still is quite buggy, but I am slowly getting used to it and I like the talents idea. It is hard to say how those changes will affect the carry role. Helm of Dominator looks a bit overpowered — that is all I know. And please, nerf Sanctuaries — it’s imba!



On Russian language.

— I might have good pronunciation, but my vocabulary consists mostly of random phrases you can hear in a game. I think I learned that from Oleksandr “XBOCT” Dashkevych or Sergey “God” Bragin in old times (haha).

Shortly after the announcement that Pajkatt and rmN were to join the new NaVi CyberSports.ru interviewed the two. We're posting these interviews as "sister interviews" due to that.
