Hello everybody
Igor Sydorenko is standing next to me
He’s a Team Global Manager of Na`Vi
Many people don’t know about that
So tell us, what your role is?
I organize almost all the trips of all the lineups
Both CS and Dota
I’m also manager of CS lineup
I also do some administrative work in office, etc
Well, that’s all for now
So receiving visas for this tournament was your job?
Yes, it was rather difficult as
I had a call from the embassy in 24 hours
before our flight
With news that the receiving of your visas
was under the threat
There were some problems with invitations
Thanks God we were lucky and coped with it
Our flight was yesterday at 1.30pm and
At 9.30 am I was receiving visas
So everything was fine
You’re doing your job well!
You were organizing the team’s training process
What do you think, are they ready enough?
You’ve never been to the tournaments with them
Are they ready to show the good result?
It’s hard to predict
as the guys can’t say that by themselves
We talked a lot and they have a feeling that
It’s just like their 1st LAN
It’s a new game
Yes, that’s right
Even our opponents fell like this about us
Nobody knows what to expect from us
As well as we can’t know
what we’re capable of
Almost in an hour our game will start
We will know the result and show it too
I’ve got one more question for you
You’ve just replaced ZeroGraviry here
As he was always traveling with the team and
Solved the organizing problems
Why? Has he got new tasks in the organization?
In any case the organization is growing
It’s very difficult to deal
with organizational problems
In macro context
as well as to manage the staff
All these trips and so on take too much time
So even Dota 2 lineup has its own team manager
I’m manager of CS lineup
I do some administrative work
I haven't replaced ZeroGravity
I’m just helping him
You were a manager of the team xbit?
No? powered.by?
I was a manager and ideological inspirer of teams
TreeZ, GSC Gamesworld
In addition to that I was
the main judge at WCG Ukraine in 2002-2003
did you play by yourself?
I played but not professionally
It was really long ago
The main thing is that you are experienced
Yes, that’s true
Just right after this tournament
the guys will go to Moscow
On TechLabs
What tournaments do you expect to visit
in the near future?
We’re going to visit Copenhagen Games
Besides TehLabs
These are 2 main tournaments we have aimed at
In general we are going to visit
all the planned tournaments
Which dates we know this year
Like DreamHack (winter and summer seasons)
Maybe there will be other tournaments
Which aren’t announced yet
We’ll try to visit as many tournaments
as possible
This year both online and offline
As we need to play as much as we can
We need to have gaming practice
So we will play as much as it’s possible
Was it difficult for guys to switch to the new game?
Have they had any additional motivation
to continue playing the new game?
I understood your question
The matter is that this situation
was interesting for me as well
as they aren’t 18 years old already
so it seems that the motivation has reduced
it was interesting for me to watch their
behavior during the bootcamp
to understand them and
for them to understand themselves as well
in the result I was glad by myself
and I'm ready to make the fans happy as well
as they really have motivation
the game is new
nobody knows and is afraid of them
so we have a huge motivation and
guys have the team motivation as well
to play, win and to start everything from the beginning
ok. Thank you for the interview
good luck to you and to your guys
and to all of us!
Thank you
