Team Dignitas

ADVERTISING:

During the wildcard match, a lot of people were saying that you will lose to Quantic going in. Were you confident going into it?

When were were playing those matches, I din't feel very nervous at all. During the games, we just felted they aren't as strong as they are made out to be, we just played our own game and won it.

During those matches, Quantic's draft didn't look like something that they usually do and they really didn't play as well as should have. Were you confident after winning the first couple of games?

During the first game, we weren't that confident in winning, however after winning that game, we found out that their playstyle did not vary as much as though. During high stake matches, they will revert back to a more stable playstyle. We just played our stable game and won the wildcard match.

After that, you guys were put into the Preliminaries and in all honesty you guys did not perform that well. What was the reason behind it?

I believe it comes down to preparation. Our team was only formed about six months ago, our preparation and synergy did not really work out and we can't really consider ourselves a strong team. During our offline matches, I feel that we did not have the right mentality causing us to not perform as well as we wanted to. Thus, our Preliminaries games did not go as well as planned. Having been dropped to the Loser's bracket, we are just think of doing our best and play as best as we could. If we can win, we win, if not we will not be too stressed about it as well.

So basically taking it as training

Yes. Take it as training

If I remember correctly, you guys are facing the American team, Dignitas. What do you think about them? Will they be a tough opponent?

I feel that they are a very unpredictable team as well, as for as playing against them, we'll just do our best to win them. I'm not even sure what the results will be because we ourselves are quite an unpredictable team as well, we are not stable strong nor are we stable weak, it is the same for them. All in all there is a lot of uncertainity in this tournament for us.

So basically your playstyle and theirs do not have much difference.

Last year when you were playing for EHOME, you guys used Tiny + Wisp in a rather special and effective way. But in RattleSnake, you guys never seem to be able to get the Wisp + CK or other hero comboes well.

This is because I rotate between the different position more than the rest. During the early stages of the team, I've been responsible for the jungle heroes such as Chen, Enchantress and Enigma, never in charge of the carries. Just recently, I've been put onto the two position. Due to the many position changes, we are not used to certain playstyle or heroes. We didn't really trained with these playstyle so we just used it to see how it works without thinking much about it.

There are rumors that say that your team will be making some changes after this tournament. Do you have anything you would like to say about it?

This is up to our boss to decide, for me as a player, I'll just do what I am supposed to do and play as best as I can. Everything else I leave it to my boss and sponsor.
