Esports Heaven caught up with Lelis "" Santos ofbefore the team flies out to Kiev for SLTV Minor. Read the interview to find out what Liposa has to say about his team, the South American scene, playing with international rosters and much more.Hi. I'm Lelis/Liposa, a South American player born in the U.S. and speak English quite well. I mainly play 3/5 in Dota 2 but I have played other roles as well. Besides Dota 2, I've played the original war3 DotA as and Heroes of Newerth.I felt pretty good qualifying after struggling in the Major qualifiers.It didn't really happen like that. EternalEnvy and Sneyking joined Ritsu, CCnC and myself some time ago, and we ended up making some changes and ultimately coming down to this team.Not really, it was more of a challenge for ourselves than something against them so I wouldn't call it a revenge match-up per se.I would like to keep the details private for now.It is always interesting to play with different players, even more so with people who speak different languages. It's really fun and overall it is a very different experience. It's very cool.To be honest, it hasn't really worked for me as much as I'd like it to be. My results aren't that great and it is just something I'm trying out for now. Maybe it works maybe it doesn't. I'm only going with the flow.They are very vocal players to say the least. In-game decision making is mostly done by EternalEnvy, Sneyking and myself.We are going about the usual in terms of preparation for the Minor. Playing scrims and talking about the game constantly.Of course we can win the Minor.In Dota 2, the life of a team depends on the results. If you get good results you will most likely stick and if you get last place or perform poorly, you'll most likely disband.The Brazilian scene is pretty bad. There aren't a lot of investors willing to invest, not a lot of money and sponsors take big chunks of prize-pool winnings and don't pay very high salaries when compared to other regions. There is growth but its not something absurd.It's difficult to say and pinpoint certain things but its more about the mentality more than anything else.Just playing some dotes and trying to be the best.Thank you for all the support I have gotten from fans from all over the world. It means a lot, thank you. We wish Liposa and Flying Penguins the best of luck at SLTV Minor.If you would like to know more about my work, you can follow me at.
