Noone: "I don’t really have regrets but if I could change one thing, it would be leaving Virtus Pro when we were done with Ramzes after TI9"

I like how the patch is more about playing as five pieces, not one. Everyone needs to put in more collective effort, so I like it. There’s no particular individual to blame, but the entire team for losing. There’s more, but everything cannot be properly expressed in words alone.

I’ve become mature and older than I was before. My perspective and outlook towards the game and life in general have changed. I’m very grateful now because earlier in my career, I was more ignorant and took things lightly and not as they should be, but now it’s different. Moreover, I’m happy with where I am right now and with the people I am surrounded with.

Given his young age, Satanic has blended nicely into the team. He has some things, not particularly issues, to work on and improve, but he’s a nice guy and offers a lot of potential. The results pretty much speak for themselves, and that’s something we aim to build on. Overall, it’s nice to work with him.

I’m confident to be at BLAST Slam III and just play Dota 2. I’m unsure about the results because you don’t know what the future holds, and predicting the outcome doesn’t make sense.

The new patch is largely undiscovered. Players are still uncovering the nuances of this patch, as each game presents something new to learn and adapt to. The possibilities to explore different strategies, especially with the map and meta changes, are exciting, to say the least.

The big difference with BLAST Slam format is that if you crush it on day one, you can basically take it easy until the last leg of the tournament. We've never been in that lucky spot, but we hope to get there.

We might still have to catch the long road in the tournament, playing on all days, but I really like this format. Compared to other tournaments, which drag on for weeks and are frankly exhausting, this shorter one with the same prize pool is a great change of pace, especially with so many events happening.

The International is the most important tournament yet. To top it off, there is the Aegis, and if you win it, then you’re a legend. The value of TI will never diminish, but the prize pool also plays a huge factor. Winning TI is important, but money-wise, if Riyadh has more prize money, then I’d like to win that too.

I don’t function that way… I don’t really have regrets. But if I could change one thing, I would probably leave Virtus Pro when we were done with Ramzes after TI9. I would have loved to go to Europe and play for other teams than VP.

I’ve grown up and don’t act like a kid anymore, and have learnt to take things seriously.
