How much do you guys scrim vs other top teams? Are you satisfied with ur own discipline / with the discipline of ur team-members when it comes to training?

Thanks!

If you've seen TL's power ranking for dota 2 teams, and you were to make one yourself (for the EU scene, that is), how would you make it?
TL's is atm:
1) Nth
2) N'avi
3) Fnatic.eu
4) VP
5) TeamLiquid


I don't like ranking teams, there are some teams which are very good like StarLadder showed us, who can beat each other on a good day

How is the team spirit in Na'Vi? Are you guys motivated? Do you feel like you need much more training to reach your full potential or are happy with where you are currently?

Got any favorite bands or books you really enjoyed reading?

Good luck, I wish you all the best!


we need to train alot, we are motivated to show good results, hopefully we can achieve our goals.

I mostly listen to melodic styles, so no specific bands. My favourite book is the art of war by sun tzu

thx

What do you feel was the biggest thing you took from your trip to SMM 2009 with MYM?

What is your fondest DotA tournament memory/achievement?


prior SMM 2009, I already looked into using Dusa/Razor, but my team didn't like my ideas. I learned to listen to myself more than to others, if you feel confident with your idea, you should enforce your idea

DLM 2009 was the first LAN I won, it's a strong memory

Why do you think there is no real order between western top team? Each one seems able to beat any other on a good day. At the moment it seems almost random.


competition seems a bit random, strong teams can beat each other given their daily form. everyone tries their best, this is what competition is about; can't expect one team to win it all for a long period of time, as others will look into you just to beat you

What are some realistic hopes and expectations of yours with Na'Vi? Obviously you are aiming to improve as a team in China, but do you fear that losing the element of surprise against chinese teams may be a problem? I'm your biggest fanboy, btw

how do you get so good at playing Rubick?


practice, practice. I like rubick especially since he makes it easier for me to punish my opponents and do more stuff in a game than a simple hero like VS

You mentioned you prefer 3/3 bans over 2/2 bans at the start of the draft. Could you explain the difference between them and your reasoning for this?

Kuro,

At the start of the new Na'Vi we saw a very proactive, aggressive and effective execution. Past games, have been actually reactive, waiting for enemy teams to execute first. Is this the result of lack of training?

Puppey used to pick and ban alone in old Na'Vi, are you helping him now?

Watching G-1 League, the level of competition is higher (Bigger hero pool, less mistakes) compared to EU. Are you afraid that this will affect Na'Vi's chances in TI? As a team, how will you try to solve this?

Do you think EU scene fails in training? Watching scrims (source: QPAD) and competitive Dota, it seems as if teams just try to pick-ban heroes based on consequential situations, instead of actually practicing strategies or perfecting heroes. Do you think this way of playing Dota is effective. Do you guys at Na'Vi have any thoughts?
Best example I can take is SingSing's Kunkka, he has trained that hero so much, that it is actually very effective, or Dendi's Pudge.

Best of luck!


not neccesarily lack of training, rather lack of understanding how to win the game, as we feel lost alot of times due to different understanding of the game

we pick together, he makes the final calls

East teams are very high skilled, we need to simply get better to be able to beat them, there is no way around it

West teams have problems finding stable practice partners, thus creating specific strategies is very hard. west tries to simply get better mechanically most of the time and reduce mistakes with their roles, not in a strategic context but rather in their own roles

thx

Do you agree with the notion that people have that different heroes in the hero pool are assigned into tiers based on their tendency to be picked?


I dont believe in tiers, trends determine their strengh mostly

Why am I late in asking? Can I still ask? Please?

1) Why aren't you streaming anymore? Will you be streaming again? When? Is it soon?
2) How do you manage to be up and playing for long hours? Don't you get sleepy? Do you have an energy drink or something?
3) If you could have any of your favorite heroes as a pet, who would it be?

Thanks!!


1) pc/net problems
2) no energy drinks, just about mental state
3) bristleback, little pig spraying quills all the time :D

Generally, as far strategy goes: it seems like you prefer to be reactionary. Figure out the opponent's strategy and then beat it by out-executing, exploiting their predictability, figuring out the weaknesses, and so forth. Would you agree with that? What do you think of teams who may practice a certain strategy or style so much that they believe they know how to play that kind of game better than their opponent, even if it's a little predictable?


reactionary playstyle is an indicator that the team doesn't practice so much, it's an easier way to get around things and still try to win the game. Teams can practice certrain styles and strats, it will bring them many wins, but at one point it will stop, so they have to be careful and have more plans in their bag for future success

1) Alex wrote a post when you left Mouz and had some nice things to say about you. It's similar to the one you wrote for Puppey when you guys split ways. What was your reaction to that post when you read it?

2) In TI2 we saw how far behind the west was compared to their eastern counter-parts. How far do you think the NA/EU scene as a whole has progressed since then with respect to the east? Other than Na`Vi, teams such as nth, Fnatic and VP seem to be showing a lot of promise, so do you think it will be closer this time?


1) I am still in contact with mouz, we parted on good terms. I was happy that I could help him to progress, it's a nice feeling.

2) I think the competition gets tougher every year, TI3 might be very tense indeed
