The interview was conducted by David Wang on the 20th of July.

What do you think about RedBull ECL’s setup, not having casters on the stage and allowing players to trash talk?

I actually like it a lot, its very oldschool. It brings the pressure to another level than what players are used to nowadays, and I believe its more exciting when you can actually hear the live crowd.
 

You and Pajkatt seemed to have enjoyed yourself shouting. What does shouting do?

Shouting for me, is actually more for the fun of it. I don't believe it affects the enemy team too much because most top teams have tons of LAN experience and should be able to perform regardless of how loud I am as they have tons of LAN experience and should be able to perform regardless of how much im yelling..
 

Who is most quiet in your team?

Probably Brax.
 

Who is the biggest trash talker in China?

ROTK or Hao will share the cake for this one. If they were to go up against one another, then whoever is on the winning side will be louder.
 

Do you think other tournaments should have this (more often)?

I think smaller tournaments could do this. I dont think it is the right setup for TI3 or DSL for example, but for tournaments with a small prize pool or tournaments that run for a few days. I think it's definitely a good change to the booths which is the norm in the past couple of years.
 

Your team didn’t get to the playoffs and did not seem to have performed well since G-League. What is the problem in the team exactly?

I think its a mixture of a lot of things, there are many problems and its hard to actually put a finger on it.
 

A lot of people are saying your team is not worth the invitation to TI3 and teams like Quantic and RisingStars should have the spot instead. How do you feel about these allegations?

People can say or believe whatever they want and I honestly could not care less. It has always been like that with the Dota community. When one team is owning, they switch their preference and when they start losing, the team get crucified for it. (Smiles)
 

Most teams are already starting their bootcamp for TI3. What will you guys be doing in preparation for the event.

Do the same as other teams I assume, play a lot of scrims and prepare the best we can.
 

A lot of teams disband or reform after TI3. Assuming LGD.Int doesn’t win, will the guys still be staying in China?

Only time will tell.
 

What are you most excited about the tournament?

I'm mostly excited to see if we can perform better and get out of the slump we have been having in the past few months. Apart from that, I'm really excited to see what Valve has arranged for us in comparison to the previous year. Generally, just playing at The International itself is an amazing feeling that I'm looking forward to.
 

Give me your top 4 prediction for TI3 and why?

LGD.cn, DK, Na`Vi, TongFu but honestly its hard to say as all the teams are strong this year.
 

How do you feel about Na`Vi’s performance in China?

The result speaks for itself, doesnt it.
    

Do you think their trip brought more good for the Chinese teams and you or more for themselves?

I'm not sure but I think Na`Vi got more out of it, coming here to learn about how the Chinese teams execute great initiations and knowing the difference between the draft of the east and the west. I dont know, but I think Navi got more out of it.
 

Did you meet up and have drinks with them?

Unfortunately no. They lived in Shanghai and we did not have much time to go there.
 

That is the end of the interview! Are there any shoutouts you would like to give?

Shoutout to LGD, Kingston, Taobao and Razer!
