INC-Excello was Malaysia's top placed team at SMM this year. Spotgamers had the chance to sit down with the 3rd runners-up, discussing the tournament.
Even though SMM09 has come and gone, the Asian scene is still buzzing. The following is an extract from the interview which has satisfied the curiosity of Malaysian fans as well as those from across the globe.
Malaysian teams in general performed admirably, knocking out the European powerhouse MYM at the group stages but came up short in preventing a top-3 finish by the Chinese. How you rate our nation's overall performance and what do you think we, as a community can do to improve the scene further?
Everyone tried their best in preventing China top 3 placing. At least we gave a good fight to the chinese! As for improving the scene, maybe we can train harder or support our own Malaysia team more?
Cybertime, our nations's Asian Dota Championships III representative under-performed considering the hype they got pre-tournament. What do you think went wrong for them?
I guess their willingness to fight disappeared after they lost the remaining group matches (against Quas Gaming). And worst strike to them, lost to one of their former teammates, Winter.
How do you reflect upon your SMM tournament? Which of the games are most memorable?
Although my team just managed to get 4th, we are quite satisfied with the position as we were able to stop China from dominating the top 4 placing. Games against Mineski and CH will always hold a place in my memory!
Any advice you'd like to give to dota teams who wish to play competitively?
A good team chemistry is important for a team to success. Solve problems with a better way and dont end up in arguing and start ditching your teammate! Gogo Malaysia.DotA for 2010!
