Were you happy to just reach the main event or did you hope to place in the top 4 of the groupstages?

Era:

Your guys take amazing team photos. Who comes up with the ideas for the pictures?

Era:

Escape Gaming's team photos are becoming legendary Escape Gaming's team photos are becoming legendary

You were in STEAK Gaming with Synd and that didn't go too well but for DiG (now Escape Gaming) I think it was around the DreamLeague Season that you started to get into shape and become a "proper" team. Would you agree?

Era:

How did you become Escape Gaming?

Era:

On joinDOTA I did a stat to demonstrate just how substantial the TI6 prizemoney is, and worked out that if Escape made it out of the Wild Card you would earn more in one week than you have done in 4 months of competitions. Does having an organisation also justify this kind of risk in terms of rewards?

Era:

Escape Gaming has helped Era and his team-mates to find stability and support Escape Gaming has helped Era and his team-mates to find stability and support

Is lack of a stable income a new worry for you to have? You seem to have always had an organisation behind you in Dota 2.

Era:

Why did STEAK Gaming not succeed in your opinion?

Era:

Maurice ' Yazied ' So you recognised the CoL boys had talent, but how did you know your Escape Gaming team-matesMaurice ' KheZu ' Gutmann andYazied ' YapzOr ' Jaradat had what it takes?

So Synderen is the drafter but what happens in-game? Who calls the shots?

You said the groupstages were a learning process for Escape, so what have you learned now they are over?

Era:

Era is hoping Escape can reach top 8 but is already happy for making out of the Wild Card (Image: @TheEscapeGaming) Era is hoping Escape can reach top 8 but is already happy for making out of the Wild Card (Image: @TheEscapeGaming)

Do you see this team sticking together after the summer? You've worked so hard together to get here.

Era:

What do you think about the changes to have only 2 Majors instead of 3?

Era:

Final question, would 13-16th at TI6 be enough for you?
