Inven: Can you introduce yourself?

Qtpie: Hi, I am 21 and my name is Michael “Imaqtpie” Santana. Now I am the ADC of the American team Dignitas. Thanks to the Korean Fans. (laughs)



Inven: I thank you too. How did you become a progamer?

Qtpie: I became a progamer kind of randomly. I started off playing on Oh God Bears and we beat TSM in a very old tournament, from there a lot of people looked at our team and wondered who we were. Scarra messaged me and asked if i would like to play top lane for Rock Solid, the old Team Dignitas and I said sure. The funny thing is, I was a mid laner, but they needed a top because Voy was going to school and since my team was having roster changes i decided to join rock solid.



Inven: You joined Dignitas as a toplaner but switched to ADC?

Qtpie: i went from mid to top, and back then top lane and mid you played as ranged carries so i already had the practice of playing those champs so when the new meta came of playing ranged carry bottom i said ill just go bottom. Since I played the game for a while I have experience on many champions.



Inven: Can you tell more about your team, Dignitas?

Qtpie: Well, we have Cruzerthebruzer top, he’s new to the team since we moved Kiwi and he plays the standard tank tops and stuff. Scarra middle who I imagine most people know lol. Crumbz jungle who is very gank-centric and me and kiwi bottom. I think our team is pretty good, we play very aggressive and it pays off a lot. We practice in scrims by just pushing things to the limit just to see how far we can go. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t.



Inven: Dignitas plays non-standard champions. How do you find those?

Qtpie: Yea, Draven takes advantage of a lot of weak lane champions and he snowballs very hard, I think he’s a pretty good pick. Finding the random champions that work just comes from practice and solo queue, you usually find someone doing really good with a weird pick and then try it in practice. We like to think that since the meta always is changing, why not find the change ourselves instead of waiting.



Inven: Do you watch OGN often?

Qtpie: Not that much honestly. I just like to think of OGN like the pinnacle of what the meta is so if we play standard we want to play like they do in OGN.



Inven: How did you feel about Korea when you visited?

Qtpie: I loved Korea, it was an amazing place and OGN was very fun.



Inven: Can you describe the experience as a player when you competed in OGN and LCS?

Qtpie: Honestly, from when i was in OGN, and LCS right now I feel like its very similar, the crowd is amazing and gets you really pumped up to play. I love LCS fans they just go crazy when you start winning.



Inven: How did you decide your nickname?

Qtpie: My mommy calls me cute



Inven: Some words to your Korean fans?

Qtpie: Well, thank you if you stuck with being our fans after OGN LOL. but i love you guys, hopefully when you think of great ADC you will include me. I will try my best so I don’t disappoint any fans of Dignitas.
