Midas seem to be a very popular item with you, even on Luna(A hero who has strond migame teamfighting presence, Midas does delay this). Why do you think Midas is so good?
Also, will we ever see Necrolyte?!
To be honest ive started to play less and less with midas in officials. I do think its a good item, but mostly because of the xp boost you get from using it.
Necrolyte is a possibility but im not sure how I feel about the hero yet. I guess it could be a situational pick, but im not sure in what situation? :D What do you think? In push? In turtle?

Hello Loda. Looking back, what do you think of the run you had with Zenith?
|
Are there any heroes from ye old dota that aren't in dota 2 yet that you look forward to play in official matches? If yes, why?

Mass sustained pushing with Necrolyte, Chen, maybe Pugna. You ban out the KOTL. The Pugna constantly makes it impossible for the enemy to engage(and counterpush) because of the ward and the Pugna blast constantly pushing, Pugna also disables enemy phsyical dps carries(like the Naix) to go on you and makes it hard for heroes such as QoP and Puck(popular solo mid heroes) to engage(Zap will hit before phase shift now). Add in a Syllybear for good measure on the offlane if you will. Granted the team doesn't have any fucking disables but fuck that .
Oke so maybe I just think Pugna is a bit underrated, what do you think about him?

i saw you last weekend cheering for Flash. so is he your favorite sc2 player? is there any other maybe a foreigner as well? and why?

Hey Loda, been supporting you since the SK days  Two questions:
1. From the dota1 heroes not currently in the dota2 pool, which one do you miss the most?
2. Does anyone from the old SK days play dota 2 now (apart from you and akke of course), like kwom, renji, bogdan, tompa, hailo etc?

Hi Loda,
- You feel that Western teams have too much respect for the Chinese, when facing them, thus losing a bit confidence in their own abilities?
- Do you think you have learned something from past mistakes, when it comes to communication within the team?
- Do any of you meditate?
- Can you feel in the pit of your stomach, when you are in the zone, before the match, or does that become a realization when it happens?
- How high is continuity on the Nth list?
- You have said that you are the one that often speaks up. Is it something the team has worked on, so more people chips in?
- Did you think you did enough to make it work with EE in terms of communication?
- Do you believe in Karma?
- If you were an animal, which animal do you think you share the most traits with?
- You scrimmed very much, but felt the results lacked with the effort. Do you think you could have made it more effective? Did you learn something from it, that is now used/worked on in Nth now?
GL Loda and rest of Nth.
- I think this is correct yes. The Chinese are insanely good, but a lot of teams (Was the same thing for us in Zenith) get scared when they play the chinese. They see LGD rape their group without a loss, and suddenly everyone thinks that the Chinese picks are the best. But whats most important is that you stay true to your own playstyle and play your own game. Na'vi did that somewhat in the playoffs of TI2, and it did pay off
- I learn from every mistake and experience in Dota. For about two years ive had this feeling of what I needed in a team to make it truly great. But CLG didnt work out the way I wanted(not due to results), and it made me try out playing with Zenith. When I made nth I still looked for the same things as I did when I made CLG, though S4 convinced me we had to have Envy on the team so I agreed. Here 4 months later im finally here, I have the team ive been trying so hard to create and it feels extremely good. And this is not even due to our great results lately, I can honestly say everyone on the team is my friend, and I love becoming better as a player and as a team together with them!
- I dont think any of us meditate, but ive honestly considered it ^^
- I can indeed feel that pit of my stomach before a game, especially during LAN tournaments, the hours leading up to the final etc. I love that feeling haha, the moment before everything breaks lose.
- Yes its something we have been working on, but lately it has just come naturally.
- Me and Envy will have different views on this, but I feel I reached out to Envy A LOT of times. I told him he had to involve me and the rest more in how he does things for months before he had to leave the team. I wanted Envy to come and ask me for my opinions. This was very annoying for me since Envy was never a decided leader of the team or anything, we let him take the leading role on the team because he had played with s4 and Bulldog before, and it made it easier for us to work as a team. I was supposed to kick him from the team 1 week before I did, but I gave him a new chance to play as a player on the team and not as the captain. He refused to step down as captain. And yep thats about it.
- I think what goes around comes around yes.
- If I was an animal I would probably be a Penguin or a Lion! You will have to guess why yourselves! :D

That last response made me extremely hungry, brb 10 min for food. Then ill keep answering

Hey Loda, is it possible for you to list your top5 heroes and maybe bottom 5 heroes?
Im not speaking in terms of balance just personal stuff. I know for sure Goblin techies would be in my top5 for the lulz

while having an all-swedish roster you've enjoyed some incredible results and also made the team to seem like more of a cohese dota unit,
How much have the all-swedish roster conrributed to this?
Do you feel that it is easier to mold a team when you share the same language and timezone?
Did you recruit EGM with the vision of him beong a pure support or did you think about rotating admiral bulldog and him, seeing as he was mostly known as an offlaner earlier? (vague i know)
Haha hard to say how much but I think its helps us a lot as a team, to communicate and just get along better.
Yes I feel it helps a lot, and its gonna make staying in a house together much easier.
My plan for EGM was always that he would play the support. Ive played with him quite a lot and I had great faith in him as a player and as a person. So I knew he would adapt fast. I mean... bulldog not playing sylla when its in the game? :D BLASPHEMY

Thoughts on the current direction Valve is taking the game and how it affects the growth of the scene? I.E no ladder, slow development etc. Also how is the over saturation of tournaments right now affecting you as a pro i.e lots of tournaments but no big prize pools.

how big is dota2 community in Sweden in comparison with other games eg LoL, sc2
