The decision turned out to be the correct one, as you have earned a sponsorship with Alliance and won no less than 9 tournaments including the G-1 Champions League and The International2013. After a little more than one year as a professional player, how do you summarize your time with No Tidehunter and Alliance, teams that helped you become the player you are today? What are your best/worst memories with both teams?
It’s been a great experience being part of something this big like Alliance, sometimes I still can’t believe what the team has achieved in such a short time.
I think the worst time was after our first win after Dreamhack, we were in a slump for an entire month not managing to beat a single tier 1 team at the time, everyone was very sad and down.While Alliance was undoubtedly one of the best teams in the western hemisphere alongside Natus Vincere, a part of the community had doubts about you doing well against the Chinese. However, in May of this year, you crushed the competition as you defeated all of them during the G-1 Champions League. What were your thoughts about the Chinese before taking part in this event? Your thoughts after the event? Which team impressed you the most?
I always think people over hype things, about everything in life and this also goes for Dota 2. Before G-1 people were saying how much better they were than the western teams, but I never believed this.
I knew the Chinese were very strong, and I never underestimate my opponent, but I always thought that we were at the same level.
After the event, I still think Chinese Dota is better in some ways than western Dota, but they have always lacked the creativity that western teams have, and that has been the downfall for Chinese Dota many times. At the tournament DK felt the strongest.
