(somewhat related) What do you think Valve can do to make the game easier for new players to learn? When learning how to communicate with new teammates, what are some things you find helpful? (e.g. deciding on roles/lanes ahead of time, deciding who to listen to/captain, important language issues/confusing terms/situations/things you have overcome, etc.) How much time do you spend analyzing replays/watching VoDs or breaking down your gameplay and practicing a specific mechanic (e.g. focusing on nothing but ward positioning), and do you think it is more important for amateur players who want to get competitive to do this type of deliberate practice? Do you think players can improve at all by practicing alone, or is consistent practice with the same 5 people the main way to improve? Who do you respect and learn from the most? What is the biggest thing that is missing/incomplete in Dota 2 right now? Do you play dota when drinking alcohol? Do you play better or worse then? (what's your favourite drink? haha) being self-critical for me is one of the main things to focus on I think Valve is already doing a good job, there isn't much I can think of to make it easier, maybe more videos about gameplay try to become friends, it's the simpliest way of making people listen to each other, which is crucial in a team game it is needed to analyze your gameplay in order to improve, I do it mostly after important games to see my/team mistakes, so not too much time individually, you can improve by just playing, but in the end you the effective way to improve is to grow within a team and get a better understanding of the game together I respect many players, I learn from all players too I don't really drink alcohol, just rarely  | ||

Back when Na'Vi were shuffling their roster, there was a lot of community speculation it would be a Russian-speaking player, especially in lieu of the NTH/EternalEnvy affair. Could you elaborate on the language aspects of playing in Na'Vi and how a team could overcome any barriers? Also, do you know who IceFrog is? by working together on problems, people together can achieve alot. it's all about mentality. nope, I don't know who he is | ||

Do you see this having a positive impact on the game? I don't think icefrog creates these heroes with the intention to make them special strong, dota is a complex game so it's hard to find the right balance. balancing a game like dota is infact kinda impossible, you can just try to have it nearly balanced, which implies that heroes like you mentioned will always exist | ||

Suddenly Lifestealer top tier pick And with lifestealer being picked this often you won't see Doom going FotM soon because Lifestealer>>Doom, no matter how many buffs he gets | ||

What would you like to see at TI3? Thank you for the good plays! Big fan of you guys, in the good and bad! Hope you get that practice on and show beautiful plays this year. 1 I like 1-2 day tournaments the most, anything longer than 1-2 weeks is already classified as unimportant/don't care situation 2 TI2 was very good in every aspect, I can't think of any improvements to be honest. | ||

If so, what is the most important lesson you've learned? 4. What subject would you study in school if you didn't play dota professionally? 1. persian food 2. chocolate 3. my career has taught me alot of lessons, and it still does, it's one of the main reasons why I still play. hard to classify the most important one, I think it is not regretting your choices in life 4. I'm interested in some subjects, can't really say right now which I would truly study, need more time to think about it | ||

Have you ever had a strange/funny fan meeting? Something which was really unique and you wont forget so fast. How was the relationship at mouz between you and sing? I like his stream a lot, but sometimes I get the feeling that he is very selfish and and annoying, if things get serious - can you tell me ur impression of sing and how things went, when u lost a game with mouz? Thanks for this Q&A! | ||

In my opinion, it is rapidly getting quite stale with Kotl, pl, nyx, naix, batrider, etc, whereas whenever I watch chinese dota I see a lot of heroes otherwise not used. Do you think the western teams are too afraid to experiment with entirely new hero lineups and compositions (ie. discounting incidental adventures on treant or OD), or what is the reason for the relatively small western hero pool right now? it's mostly about time, we have alot of tournaments we play all the time, so we need to use what we know is definitely good | ||
