You were very vocal about the vast differences of eu and chinese pro scene in the time of the original DotA, how do you see the differences now (strategy, individual talent, teamwork, training)?
What are your expectations from training in China?
Keep up the good work! Been following your games since the KS.int days
the gap is closing more and more, I think most teams from all regions can beat each other in different series
no real expectations, I hope we will progress though
thx man

How do you feel about meepo in dota 2 competitive play? I remember that you played him in competitive games in dota 1 and did quite well if I remember correctly.
meepo had so much bugs, so I didn't try to play him alot yet. he feels very different, I don't like him like in DotA to be honest Just clarifying - by your last sentence, do you mean Dota 1 or Dota 2?
Dota 1

What do you think about Visage as hero, is he too weak for competitive Dota? or does players lack micro skills to make him useful?

What are ways you think can help them to accomplish this?
Thanks
its mostly about mentality. I believe, if someone wants to become good at something, he will achieve it, as long as he works hard for it, with body and spirit

At what point in the game is the overarching win-strategy discussed? Is it discussed how you want to win before picks, after the lineup is chosen? After laning phase?
Is it generally the support who brings that up? Many of my losses are due to a misunderstanding between the carry and the support as to how we want to win the game (safely farm up and outcarry or shove down towers, e.g.)
teams have various ideas how to win, you try to realize it via picks. if you think your idea of winning the game (eg. you think safe farm is best) is the best, then maximize this idea/strat as much as possible. apply it to all other ideas you might have

Whaddya think about Techies?
Does he have a place in competitive DotA? (We saw Pacific.BB raping through GEST with him, could link you the games if you want)
Does he need a remake?
Thanks for answering all these questions by the way, reading this thread is great fun
hard to believe, that techies might be good, but surprises always happen.
i think hes a fun hero, no need to remake him, as long as people enjoy playing him

getting into competitive scene is about connection, so try to make aware of yourself somehow.
improvements comes with practice and right mentality, try hard go pro. newer players shouldn't be too overeager, practice alot, at some point step back, relax, and look at your mistakes, and go for it again. as long as you have fun, everything is alright!

Lets say you have to play 5 man one lane from lvl 1, whats your lineup?
tusk-venomancer-centaur-doom-skeletonking
doom eats alpha wolf, now you can just roll over them with fat heroes army and strong auras. diving towers is easy, since they are tanky + lifeleech

How do you feel about mid Rubick? Any tips for Rubick?
mid Rubick is nice, as you get alot of levels and items, so you are more flexible. he is not needed mid though, as he is a very strong support too.
rubick is a hero that you get better with the better you are at the game itself. the more understanding you have, the more impact you will have with rubick, catching the right spells in the right moment and utilizing them

If every hero would be able to be picked only once per series would that make for some interesting picking mind games?
It's an awesome idea right?
i think this will create so much chaos and imbalances, but it sounds like a funny idea :D

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!
old friends dont fight
not really, some are more enthuastic, some are less, some are crazy about you but I appreciate every support, very glad for their help.
sing and I are good friends, we enjoyed playing together. he can get emotional at times, but it's also his strengh, I didn't have problems playing with him, it was a fun time

right now, it's hard to say what will happen at all. for now we only focus on EMS and G1, everything else comes after. Our main goal is to place high in these events. thanks for your support

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?
it's mostly because alot of heroes have too much power in game, so 2-2 bans force each team to give away imba and get imba in return, im not sure if this is the ideal system. rather have 3-3 bans, kick out imba heroes, let teams have more room to create own strategies not revolving around heroes which fulfil their role too good
