I'm guessing you have your keyboard past your mousepad so you don't hit it? But even then with that router you only have a few inches to work with before you run out of pad on the left. I paused at 1:45 in the interview to get that.
Did the interviewer ask you to move things around?
No that's my normal set up. I think around 1 inch moves my mouse across my screen so I don't need a big mousepad

Can you please explain how do u approach a draft in the current meta, as there seems to be no real hot picks or kinda stuff as there are just way too many heroes which are viable in many situations contrary to 6.82 patch where there were always a few good heroes around which drafts were built or at least that's my perception would love to have some guide lines from you. It would be even better if you could do a thought process video if it isn't too much to ask :D

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I've read some articles that state that its not good to use higher sensitivities since they force you to use your wrist for finer control of cursor positioning, increasing chances for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (RSI). Its recommended to use lower sensitivities so that you make use of your elbow (instead of wrist) to control the cursor.
When you want to walk instead of TP after a death? Do you only TP when there are creeps that you can kill close to a tower (to make up for the tp cost)? Always walk if you don't have a T1? I'm basically asking because I feel like I waste a lot of (sometimes all when support) money on TPs during a game (especially when it's not going well).

I don't have a good grasp on 6.83 because we've been taking a break over the christmas holidays and haven't scrimmed that much. However, you can't really go wrong with making sure you have a balanced lineup of pressure, teamfight, earlygame and pickoff. I really like to have a little bit of push too. Just don't over commit to one of those four. Dota heroes are all op enough that if you cover those four things you should have a fighting chance every game.

Tp should usually only be used if you're about to lose gold/exp or if you need the wave to be pushed out really fast. Never TP when you have an ally already in lane unless it's laning phase/you're setting something up (gank/coutnergank/rune check/stack etc)

dmg + animation for me is probably void. For a ranged I really like wr's. Purely animation is obv sniper.

Hey Aui, I've grown to be a real fan of you as a person recently.
You've always seemed like the quiet one to me, not exactly sure what made you come out and share your thoughts so much, and whatnot. But I just wanted to say, I love how you try to be as genuine as possible, and truly try and help people, not just in the game, but life in general.
Individuals like you are really important in the scene. You're an idol for young kids, and they'll listen to what you say, so I'm glad you try to promote a good lifestyle, and having a healthy emotional mindset and make our community a better place. Just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate it, hope you keep it up with videos like these, and keep up the good Dota results as well. Hope to meet you at a Dota LAN one day, cheers!

Talked with Charlie and Fear about his RSI, not sure how exactly he changed his practice setup. Had tennis elbow years ago and hasn't come back since. I play on 1600dpi and don't move my arm much at all its 95% wrist movements. Noticed Fear's posture at a lan which was horrific, said he's become more aware of it since. But, I'll tell you what I told them. Get a desk that supports your whole arm. Have an L shaped desk where I sit in the center, one arm on each leg of the L. Elbows down fully supported and level at all times so theres no strain on anything. Could probably modify your desk in some way to support your mouse hand for sure if you don't want to buy a whole new desk (of if it would even fit, mine is pretty big). Could check with Fear and see what he ended up doing in that department. Hope it gets better, not sure what you have but full blown tennis elbow hurts like shit, glad it hasn't returned for me.
EPT
