If not, why not? - Do you consider what you are eating to stay on top of your game? - Have the team considered going 5 shadow blades? - Have any of you considered sharing the traits of liquid, when it comes to strategy? - Have you ever considered a 6th man for your team? - What can you as a team improve upon outside the game to adapt to a more professional approach(if anything, say analyzing games as a team). - When people spend much time together, they often form a mental binding, where words needs not to be uttered. Have you accomplished this? - Are you superstitious, say like not shaving while on a winning streak, a certain pair of socks etc. If so, what do you do? - Do you believe in Karma? - Which animal do you feel you share traits with? - I don't, maybe fluff does. - i eat subway a shit ton cause i live in an apartment near my campus. mom sends me food occasionally for the week also. - no but i love going shadow blade. so does tc and korok - nope, dont think any top team would do this - there is no point to have a 6th man. we all are dedicated enough - analyzing games together instead of watching replays individually. thinking of better strategies - kind of. i still think to have the best teamwork, you need to tell each other what you are doing. there needs to be some cohesion. - not really. - nope - uhh a horse? | ||

(game 2 vs fnatic eu). this enchant and bh literally just sat and waited for me to go ancient or come up in lane past 7minutes for storm to go on me. | ||

Why do you have your public games hidden, when you was the one protecting Dotabuff rankings the loudest on MAAD? :D 1. I did not invent korok's orchid on every hero first but storm spirit build. 2. i actually don't play MM at all and prefer either watching replays if i am free or playing in NA ih leagues with friends. I still enjoy playing in an atmosphere where scores are compared amongst each others. i know people have issues with that so i don't wanna go too much in depth with it. | ||

How was getting picked up by teamliquid improved 'Team A' as a squad? This is kinda hard, let's see 5 strengths - we are all friends -we can point out each other's mistakes without some1 feeling bad or taking it personally. Myself as a player, found this hard to adjust to.but i've adapted to it well. we openly criticize each other -people can't predict what we do. we have enough of a hero pool unlike other teams. teams ban clockwerk versus us now and give us even better heroes - we are all dedicated! no one is slacking off (except korok at waking up rofl) - we all have a perspective on what we should have done. often time players in teams are too soft spoken and don't want to speak up if they see a problem. everyone on our team has an opinion however . (this might seem familiar to # 2 but it is different in my eyes) 5 weaknesses- - sometimes our overconfidence. (game 2 vs Fnatic eu today) - we overthink situations sometimes . - we used to lack confidence in ourselves a month ago because of how inconsistent we were. however, that has changed recently :D not really a weakness now but we react to our performances in scrims and matches and are a bit too hard on ourselves at times - caring too much about what other people say or think (this is my own personal weakness) - trying to force things when we can wait and be a bit more cautious. | ||

Any tips for new players besides "Practice, practice, practice?" watch more than practice! i am being honest here. watching replays or watching your favorite player's FPV cams are the best way to get better. i literally watched every game that yao played in ti2 in his player perspective after ti2. same with dendi and ferrari. it helps a lot and you can always get a few tips here and there. Also try to not take other people's criticism too harshly and admit your own mistakes. | ||

Ive talked enough with LGD.int players (brax, pajkatt), and they tell me that certain heroes that we pick or other western teams pick won't do well vs Chinese teams. (wisp, gyro, etc) I honestly feel execution matters more. often times i feel if another team had what we had, they wouldn't do nearly as well. Not arrogance, but to realize that when you pick a certain set of heroes, having a plan is what matters. till we play the chinese teams, it is hard to say. | ||

In terms of design and spell synergies for example. - What equipment and settings do you use (mouse, keyboard, high/low graphics)? - Are there any other games you are playing or you are interested in, or do you focus on Dota2 only? - How many hours to you play each day? - Do you analyze replays? - Disruptor is such an awesome hero. it has such good synergy with all his spells. you can outskill people and the sky is the limit (except when they get bkbs!) - mouse- Razer deathadder - keyboard- blackwidow ultimate stealth - high graphics - I have a problem where i get a game and then play a few hours of it and then go back to dota 2. Maybe only a few games that i have stuck through till the end (far cry 3, assassins creed 3, arkham city) I also enjoy watching starcraft 2 streams or tournaments. - i play about 4-5 hours a day if we are practicing. - Yes, in the evening i try to watch a few replays from what we practiced to see my own mistakes, how i was doing in my laning, etc. | ||

He speaks good english and we became really good friends over the 2 week duration of Ti2. he is also amazing at laning and decision making. He often times wins his offlane versus an imbalanced matchup with heroes like mag or wr. Ferrari and MU are also players that I love watching with player perspectives. YYF is a no brainer. | ||

What do you think the keys to success are for Liquid if you attend TI 3? GL in all your future matches, TL fighting! Fear was always an inspiration. I also talk alot with my Padawan, Arteezy. He is my 1v1 partner and is one of the best newer players. There is also a player called KZZ that I theorycraft alot with. - buff: potm, invoker, morphling Why? potm needs more base damage. invoker needs more base damage. morphling needs his old waveform back and old manacosts. maybe not the E blade thing though - strategies and perfecting it. One thing the Chinese teams had in TI2 was execution. They didn't give a rat's ass whether people knew what they would pick. They just knew what to do and perfected their own playstyle. - practice versus the top teams ( a given) - preparation in all forms. Laning, decision making, teamwork Thanks! | ||
