- Dendi the super-mid!
this is the viewers’ reaction on your stream
we have interview with Dendi
in a few minutes the Grand Final between 2 teams
Na’Vi and Alliance will start
I’ll ask Daniil a few questions
what do you think about this StarLadder?
- it was very difficult
- why?
- we lost
but later we won
tell us in chronological sequence about it
why did you lose to Sigma in semi-final?
- I don’t remember
- which heroes did we play?
why did we lose..
we have one reason but I won’t reveal it
- Puppey?
- No, no, the story that if you drink a bit before the game
it will be victorious
though the gamer didn’t have a drink that’s why there’s such a result
it’s not about me
so you can make certain conclusions
- so who drinks in Na’Vi?
- I guess it’s Kuroky
- you told you don’t like the process of preparing to the tournament
you told that the pace wasn't resultative
is it true?
- yes
- why?
- one more invalid bootcamp
‘cause we did almost nothing and had rest
we could do everything we are doing here preparing online
that’s all
- so you think there was no sense for you to gather on the LAN you
could just train online?
- yes, that’s right
- yesterday XBOCT told that you had almost 10 trainings and they were fine
- so you got the answer, we played 10 games
- we could play them online the result would be the same
- why do you think so?
when you sit next to each other you can communicate
what’s the difference?
- we sit next to each other and communicate via Skype
while playing online we also communicate via Skype
- didn’t you tell that..
- 2 months of preparation and every time it was the same thing
- Sasha told that you have different results online
you play on the LAN so you should practice on the LAN too
in order to get used to it
- no
- why?
- I have the same answer
the only difference is that you play in office not at home
as at home you feel more comfortable and relaxed
in office the state is different
though lately we feel homish in the office too
- maybe that’s because you used to play at home, you got used to its comfort,
to your cup of tea and you put your legs on the table as Sasha said
- in office I do the same I did at home
even the same monitor
well, maybe my own PC is more powerful than in the office
but it doesn’t matter
as I can play Dota 2 well there
- alright
how did you prepare to the tournament by yourself?
how many games did you play after the New Year?
- a lot
I wasn’t preparing for the tournament I was preparing for the International
I decided to do it in advance
I played really a lot
- so you played in pubs?
or you have any special process?
- I played in pubs
if I could play with the team I’d do that with pleasure
but as my teammates are lazy ***, I can’t play with them
- talking about the preparation of the rest teams
which ones can you mention?
you lost to Sigma and won Fnatic
you haven’t played with Alliance
can you analyze each team?
which level do they have?
- all the teams are strong and have a high level in Europe and America
as well as in Asia I hope
- it’s quite obvious
what can you tell about their level at this moment?
as Alliance played hard and won an Asian league
tell me about their gaming level in a whole
- at the moment I can’t feel a difference in the teams’ levels
some teams are more experienced, some less…
it can be seen on long distances
talking about the last game with Sigma
you made a revenge
the game was very hard
you won it with such efforts
which as these games for you?
were they difficult?
- no
- everything was well in the 1st game as we won
everything was good in the 2nd too
later we failed a bit and after that we got back everything
to be more specific, we were granted the victory
the games weren’t difficult for us
sure, if we’re making a comeback
it’s not only our merit but our opponent’s as well
as it gives us this victory
there was a Gyro coming from the bottom and started making fire at me
I wasn't disabled and I just went away
he lost his BKB and could shoot me without it
he’d spent it for me, great for him
later they decided to push the middle without the BKB
well, he rode away with Aegis
so there was a throwback
later they killed me without buyback
‘cause I did it well without it
so we decided, why not to run after them though the whole map?
we had 4 alive heroes, the same number as they did
though they didn’t have buybacks and there was only 100 seconds
we could destroy the center, the top etc
we had a Gyro
we thought, «why not to chase after them?»
chase after that Pugna and Abbadon
this is the situation when your opponent gives you the game
- let’s talk about the future game with Alliance
Sasha told that he knows how they play and what should be done against them
did you follow their games and do you think you know how they play?
-I guess I also understand what to do while playing with them
I guess it’s obvious
in addition they don’t usually change their strategy
now Loda started picking heroes in his own way
it seems like they have a few ideas to play
it’s obvious for us
well we’ll see whether we can stand against them
- now Slark is a strong hero
I saw you playing with him in office
do you think it will be in the Grand final?
- actually I don’t know
I don’t think our team will use it
I guess Sasha feels not so confident playing with it and
Clement is not so confident in Sasha playing with this hero
I guess our team won’t play with it
though our opponent can use it
- which heroes would you like to play with against Alliance?
- I’d say Sasha feels confident with this hero though
it seems like he doesn’t want to take a risk etc
as playing with it for fun defers a lot from playing with it in official games
what was your question?
- wait, you told Sasha feels confident
as I saw Funnik also plays well with this hero
- super
I guess everyone can play well with it
once again, the experience of play against the top teams
totally differs from experience in pubs
you can know its mechanics, how it works
though when you play with it against the top team
you have all chances to fail
- my previous question was which heroes would you like to play with?
- I saw that Storm Spirit had 100% of victories here on the screen
why not to play with them?
- will Puppey pick them for you?
- I don’t know
we’ll know our way around their picks
- in the 1st game against Sigma Funnik asked for Naga but it didn’t work
- it happens but in any case he played well
we always have troubles with Dragon Knight
this hero depends on the team
you should have a strategy while playing with it and make a team actions
though we didn’t do anything
we just pick it, play with it and take it as a granted
like oh, cool, we have a Dragon Knight
it seems like we take it just because everyone does it
