- we managed to take back the captain of Na'Vi team
from the hands of his fans
it's Clement Puppey Ivanov
hi
~rapping~
-I'm rapping
I congratulate you with the victory in the 8th season
you've been the champions of StarLadder for 6 times
was this final hard for you?
- yes
- I didn't sleep
- why?
- because I couldn't, I don't know why
- you had a party?
- no
- I woke up at 7 am and couldn't fall asleep any more
- you're likely to have a certain schedule to be in a good shape on the match
- I know, I just couldn't do that
I just woke up and started thinking over Dota 2 etc
it was the same situation before the winners final
I also had almost no sleep
tried to make up some strategiesů and we won
- did you have many tactics for this tournament and
how many of them did you manage to implement?
was it a combo of Treant and Dazzle? how it was like?
did you make the strategy while picking heroes or you had a plan in advance?
- I made all these strategies today
during the tournament I caught an idea what exactly I can do in the match
with this opponent
I took Goblak strategy against them
Goblak!
it was his idea, not mine
- tell us about it for those who don't know
- you should pick Priest first, Treant, Luna
there's also Bristleback though they started understand everything
I even didn't want to pick it
Loda decided I'll go full Goblak
actually I wanted Na`Vi strategies
I make up a strategy before the game
sure you can think over something more
if you have enough time to play some club wars
though everything is not always right there
so even if you try these strategies
your opponent can do something different and
the gaming situation is always changing during the tournament and
Alliance started picking Timber
no one expected that
so if one had some strategies or bans
the situation can change and you won't be able to use your ideas
- did you notice that Alliance took Tuskar
the hero they took for Asian league
do you know their strategy on the stage of the picks?
- they made it in Las Vegas? not in China
- right
- you know I didn't think they will use this strategy by the way
though they did
they've already shown their strategy
that's why I needn't it
as I already know what should be done in this strategy
that's why it didn't work as I have already known about it
Tuskar was a support but not even carry
maybe they wanted to do it at once and they didn't expect me to take one more Priest
as we took only Invoker and Luna and
they thought we would take Chen or something like that
or some heroes which won't help Luna
though I changed it
- what can you say about the latest Dota 2 trends?
Slark is a strong hero he's taken by many players but
we didn't see it in the final
why?
- I banned it once or twice
our opponent couldn't take it in the 2nd game
it wouldn't have been an appropriate choice
and in the 3rd one they had a strategy based on Naga
so there was no sense to take it
if we played more games maybe we could see him
- tell us about your teammates
analyze their play
what about XBOCT, Dendi, Funnik and Kuroky
do you have such moments which are very memorable to you?
or are there any teammate's actions?
- there were only such situations when I told them to go back faster
as they were on the tower
they already can make TP there this time
they were already dying one by one
we knew about that
I told them about it, Funnik and Kuro
Dendi didn't die the time we were lucky
well, I don't think Alliance played better than we did
that's why they lost
maybe they played better than we did and our strategy was better that theirs etc
one should feed less, you know
- what can you say about the picks?
once Funnik asked for heroes and you picked Naga Siren for him
why don't you pick Dendi those heroes he can play well with?
for example, Storm Spirit, you took it twice in the Grand finale and
he had almost full win rate
you're exagitated in the internet that you can't make good picks etc
though the results show opposite situations
tell us, why do you take such heroes?
- I don't know, I just play Dota 2
- great answer!
thanks for the interview
I don't want to laten you
do you have any thanks and greetings?
- GO Na'Vi!
- thanks
that was Puppey
