exploded on to the world stage at TI3, wowing fans both East and West with his support play that proved to be an integral part of Orange's deep run at the tournament.



One of the most effective initiators currently playing, Lim is well known for patiently waiting in the trees for precisely the right moment to strike (hyhy must love him). Currently playing for Titan, Net is one half of their very effective support duo, and is as such a central figure in the Asian Dota scene of today.



In this 20-20, you get the chance to pick the brains of one of pro-Dota's most vibrant supports. From warding to rotations and beyond, ask Net the questions you've always wanted to ask him!

Mafe Profile Joined February 2011 Germany 3240 Posts #7 Let's be honest, Orange was the only team from SEA that didnt disappoint at TI3, including qualifiers. Now with chinese and SEA qualification separated for TI3, maybe this points towards fewer teams from SEA getting direct invites this time (i.e. 2 instead of 3)? Still Titan should be the favorite for a direct invite, or do you consider having to play qualifiers as a realistic option?

Your team has often been criticized for falling apart in the late game. Do you think it's going to be a serious problem going into TI4? Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muß man schweigen.

How did you feel after those events and how do you keep playing with him?

I always feel frustrated when my friends do stupid things, but this was so much worse.

rebdomine Profile Joined October 2010 3179 Posts #19 After such a strong showing in TI3, you guys must've been very disappointed to hear that Mushi was leaving the team. Recently, though, Titan has been showing strong form again and the team seems to be peaking at the right time. What would you say are the biggest differences between Yamateh and Mushi?

ArchDC Profile Joined May 2011 Malaysia 651 Posts #20 It's really important for the support duo to have impeccable coordination when it comes to chain stunning, rotation, split scouting, warding & rotations.



In your opinion, is it difficult to pair with a different support partner to be effective or is the transition manageable?
