Hi Heen.

Which single game from last year's KDL (out of all 4 season) was most memorable for you and why?
Not necessarily the one where you performed the cleanest, but the one where, after the game, you were like "holy shit, this is why I play Dota."

What about from TI4 Qualifier?

Howdy Heen! What are your expectations for Korean teams going into TI Qualifiers? Also I've noticed in recent months that whenever Rave plays against MVP.P they seem to have their number. Any particular reason for this, or is it all just hoodoo?

What do you think of Winter Wyvern and Oracle from both a fun perspective and competitive viability perspective?

Would you play them if they were added to captain's mode?

Which teams do you predict will perform the best at TI5? Understandably this is a very early question as not all the teams are set in stone but if there is a general idea it would be nice if you could answer this.

When you're in a heavily contested lane as a safelane carry who happens to be a relatively weak laner, say Slark, and whenever you try to CS you end up taking loads of rightclicks and possibly die to spells from the enemy heroes, what do you do to get farm? Do you even forsake farm in favor of rotating to make something happen somewhere else on the map once you have enough levels?
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Do you realistically see Dota 2 in Korea getting significantly more popular than it is now? What do you think is required if you think it's possible?

I really like you guys' gameplay during starladder. That warlock pick where noone could counter.

I noticed LoL influence on MVP Phoenix gameplay e.g tanking creeps so tower doesn't hit them. Though i think it's unnecessary because tower in dota2 hit for less damage and creeps damage is pretty significant to hero. My question is how develop/supportive/big is dota2 community in korea?

Sucks for you(to get shuffled out), your main team highly probable gonna get direct invite because there isn't many highly competitive teams on SEA. Anyway, haven't watched any hot6 games so couldn't comment on your guys games. I used to cheer for your team because it was unorthodox and over-aggressive. I found that korean team lacks versality and good composition heroes e.g EG has sumail and PPD could draft anything like treant + phoenix, batrider + earthshaker/lion. Which team you guys usually scrim with?

Not an expert of dota2 but a long time player. I would suggest batrider or axe for offlane. If you could farm dagger so fast or dominate your lane, it's basically easy mid game. Seems like they fit current "comeback mechanic", you could pressure a single high-farmed hero. Another thing i notice is you guys rarely stack ancients. I remember i saw Cloud9.EternalEnvy's excel spreadsheet that show exp and gold gain on ancient stacks, it was humongous. Since you are playing offlane, it could be great to stack it and farm it. Good luck on TI wildcard though! I wish dota2 could grow as big if not bigger than LoL in Korea.

How would you describe your current team's play-style and what aspects/weakness are you guys focused on improving, if any?

I sort of answered this question already but our internal problems were always there. We just made compromises and overcame our differences when we needed to. Leading up to DAC, we had split views on what kind of DotA we wanted to play so were underprepared because we lacked strats that were approved by every player. And at DAC we started falling apart because we were picking random shit and it was almost like ranked matchmaking where each player would try to pick his own hero.

March and I both wanted to captain but we had opposite ideas about how to progress so we agreed to disagree and decided to part ways. It wasn't an easy decision especially since there are a shortage of players in Korea and it would most likely be a downgrade for both teams but if we're so fundamentally split, it seemed unhealthy to continue the team as it was long term.

What about from TI4 Qualifier?

I think our game vs PKF when ember was first released was most memorable since we were getting so wrecked and we would've easily lost if we played even 1% worse. Our team was known for deathballing with an early lead before it was popular (death prophet when nobody used it for example) so we rarely made comebacks. Comebacks are usually the most memorable and it wasn't a lame drag out the game with split push comeback. We were so behind we had to play with fire to win. I remember being nervous throughout the entire game.

In TI4 Qualis I think the game vs. Mineski was that kind of game. We were in a bad spot and the enemy Tinker had a hex but their invoker cycloned QO so he was able to BKB or something (might've been slark ult) and we instawon the team fight and won. A lot of the games in TI4 Qualis were stompy so that's the only one I remember.

I'm going to guess that Rave gets a direct invite for the SEA region. MVP.P will have a pretty good shot at getting 1st in the qualifiers. Rave excels at late game whereas MVP.P's style is focused on securing a lead and inflating it enough to finish the game before things get out of control. I think a lot of it is mental because if you're pressured by time, you definitely won't play your best and you're prone to tunnel visioning and stuff.

They're surprisingly unfun to play imo but definitely viable in competitive. Oracle is probably ridiculously good in a coordinated setting. I'm surprised WW wasn't considered that imba in DotA1. Maybe it changed a little but his ult and physical immunity seem perfect for this meta.

I prefer playing defensive, counter-play supports so I'd play them if they were added but I'm afraid I would need to grind them in pubs before I could play them at an acceptable level.
