Maybe it's not so good to bring this up as I am sure that it is a pretty sore subject, but concerning the aegis deny by kyxy in the third game of the Loser Bracket Final, how does a thing like that impact a team? Is it possible to move past such a mistake, especially considering the fact that the miraculous run you guys made at TI3 could not been achieved without kyxy's high level of play? Did this factor into your decision to move to a Chinese team after the tournament?

Maybe that's three questions but I feel like they might be interrelated enough to be taken as one. Also, your play at TI3 was unreal, total beast mode, and you and Orange deserve a ton of praise for what was a truly remarkable performance. Congrats!

CSS - stylesheets. It separates formatting from content.

In your interview with Kaci during TI, she asked you: "what's your secret to being able to play such a wide variety of heroes?" and you simply replied, "They are all essentially the same." Can you elaborate on this statement?

I'd love to hear the answer to this too

Do you think it's important to be able to dominate with any hero, or is it better to pick a few, stick to a role, and practice a narrow range of heroes?

Western teams seemed much more dominant at TI3 than Eastern teams, as compared to previous Internationals. Do you think it will be a more level playing-field at TI4, and do think the budding Korean scene will be anywhere close to the skill level of other teams by TI4?

What made you choose DotA, as opposed to other MOBAs or even other esports (Starcraft, WC3, Quake, CS, etc.)?

Well, I'm really glad you guys are filtering through these questions and only taking the good ones for mushi because a lot of these are atrocious o.o

My Q: When you started playing dota, what was your favourite hero?

What's a funny story you remember from the early days of competitive Dota?

What was the Malaysian dota scene like when you first started playing?

What are the major game changing differences between the old wc3 engine and the new Dota 2 Engine? Do you feel like the game has evolved for the better, or are the newer changes misguided?

What is the biggest differences between playing Mid (position 2), in dota 2 compared to dota 1?

Mushi: Do you think that many teams at TI3 would have done better against Alliance if they did not always first ban Lone Druid? Do you think Bulldog's Lone Druid is truly their biggest weapon or what hero would be your number one ban against Alliance now in hindsight of The International?

Thanks!

How do you practice for needing to play 20 some odd characters over the course of a tournament? Was it a matter of putting in a lot of practice before hand, or just winging it as the situation required?

Do you know you have a reputation for stacking lots of gold without purchasing your items? This is perpetuated by the Chinese commentators who think this is poor decision making. What is your reasoning behind this?

In early-mid 2013 Orange occasionally ran very greedy 3 core farm pressure teams, such as Antimage, Tinker, Prophet vs MUFC, or SF, Weaver, Tinker vs LGD.int. These lineups could win even if one hero fell behind because of the immense lane pressure and farm advantage. However after G-1 Orange primarily focused on aggressive laning strategies like a farming Windrunner/Leshrac offensive trilane, or a more robust dual core anchored by a teamfight hero such as Magnus or Dark Seer that required relatively less farm.

What prompted this general change of strategy, especially considering Orange did quite well with the farm pressure lineups?
