Leader of the newly formed Nirvana.cn, insense, took some time to sit down with Chinese e-Sports site, Sgamer, for an insightful interview.
Nirvana sponsor, Loveen, has now united four teams under one flag. This is a huge step forward towards a "global DotA village", which can obviously only mean positive things for the community. The various Nirvana teams have been scrimming together recently in leagues such as AEDL, but one side which has been under the spotlight as of late is the Chinese one.
The team selection was on the shoulders of zhou and insense. Insense explains that their choices were based on friendship and how players such as xiami have a great deal of skill and potential. The Chinese player discussed their recent victory over LGD and how their "three core" stratergy, which was ever so popular in 6.64, allowed for them to overcome their opponents. Something which has raised a few questions is insense's wariness of Silencer. He does explain however that the hero has an unearthly amount of lane control and when his ultimate is timed correctly, it is invaluable in a team fight. Lastly, the former cD player talked about his team's fondness of Nirvana.Girl and vice versa. They practise regularly with each other and it is apparent that some strong friendships are starting to form.
Below is an extract from Sgamer's interview, translated by MrOw:
In yesterday's match you guys defeated LGD, why do you think that you won? Were you satisfied with how your team performed?
-"The key aspects of the game was that we limited their support's level. The support therefor had a low level and bad items and couldn't control the game. Drow Ranger's dps didn't matter then even though he had BKB. I was satisfied with how we performed, but of course we made lots of mistakes in the game, so we need to improve on those."
CH and Ehome's descriptions were easy to understand, what do you mean by your comments on LGD and Deity?
-"There's a Chinese proverb called "Using softness to counter hardness", playing with LGD feels like Taekwondo vs Taichi, they won't face you in the open, they will circle around, prepare a formation then fight you. Dreamy basically means unpredictable."
A great team with a great leader at it's head. Loveen has definitely made the correct decision is choosing to sponsor a Chinese side, and he will be extremely pleased with their results thus far.
