Nirvana.int's first interview
Posted by Vincent "em0_llama" Nunes 1 year ago
Kuroky's star-studded team had only recently joined up with the Blight organisation, so there was plently speculation floating around their move to Nirvana.int. Kuroky denies any friction between the team and the organisation, so maybe it was because of the salaries the team is now being paid?
Forget-Gaming.se had the chance to probe Kuroky's brain for answers:
How come that you guys departed from Blight.Int?
-"We searched for a home where we can stay for a long time, blight.int couldn't offer us enough in the long run. nirvana was simply the best solution for us, and i am very happy with this decision"
How does it feel that Nirvana is now sponsoring you guys, and giving you monthly payments + 5 exclusive travels to events all around the world?
-"It feels great to have such a reliable sponsor in dota, you must be very lucky these days to find one."
With the added cash flow, the team is yet undecided as to which LANs they will be attending, but Kuroky did hint that The Gathering would be a good place to start. Regardless of where or who they play, this team is guaranteed to make their new family proud.

| Nirvana@eswc plz :D Would be nice to see top teams in France! |
| lol this sounds too good to be true. How does it feel that Nirvana is now sponsoring you guys, and giving you monthly payments + 5 exclusive travels to events all around the world? i dont think this will be true. i mean kuroky is german, puppey estonian, amar pakistani and the rest american. how will you pay that? i just say "ERYC" gl guys i hope this sponsor is serious |
| Who is this Nirvana? I have never heard of them, do they have teams in other e-sports as well? |
| Let's hope this guy is just a super rich Chinese man :D |
| monthly salary zz |
| New home ^_^ |
| False promises again? History of Dota is full of this. I'm not sure Nirvana will pay anything. |
| Smell like teen spirit.. |
| #3,Nirvana is the Chinese student studying abroad which has sponsor CD Airfare to join SMM 2009 |
| Awesome seems like Ben's buddies are motivated to kick some ass |
| #7 got the point |
| #10: Very nice indeed. Now lets just hope that this sponsorship is serious! |
| if this is d same guy who sponsored CD in SMM.. well then its damn true MONTHLY SALARY FTW. |
| What a fucking shitname lol. Monthly payments my ass, you guys think dota is big enough for that? No way. |
| monthly payments $$$$ |
| #14 I guess that their sponsor thinks so |
| #14 My government gives me monthly payments for staying at home and gaming, so I'm a professional DotA player. |
| #14 dota is art i think its false |
| Someone likes DotA and he has money. Weird? Not |
| #8 +1 |
| monthly payments in dota :D ???? ncie joke.. what kind of payments 150 euros ??? some ppl pay more for electicity and internet becosue they play a lot... monthly paymants - so feckign hilarious XD nooffence kuro i wish u all the best guys and i think dota players efferots shoudl be rewarded with real money like pros in korea but we all know its not actually happening .... |
| lol at the amount of jealousy in this thread. since when names matter? and who are u to judge? your names aren't better at all lol. good for them they got a monthly salary a REAL SPONSOR in dota for the first time. |
| They are skilled and lucky in the same time ... |
| #22 +1,finally. |
| lol why are you guys so jealous / bitter. this guy loveen has delivered on his promise before. In fact he was the only reason cD could travel to SMM. and it has been stated before that he(or his father) owns a big company or is a very succesfull Chinese businessman. Considering how well China's economy is doing atm i say spending about 100k USD per year on a dota team is negligible. All in all both parties seem sincere. The sponsor is eager to support the best dota teams in the world ( he is still looking for more teams) and Blight.Int will have the opportunity to compete with world's best. Best of luck Oh and i think teams now will scramble to impress this guy so they can be the next Nirvana. Dont be bitter. Just because playing games bring nothing to you, ruin your life and make you degenerates doesnt mean others who are smarter and more talented can't use gaming to achieve something meaningful in life. |
| i love Nirvana |
| #25 Its not about envy. After following dota scene for some time I'm rather skeptical to such "fantastic" news. I would surely be nice if it happens but I wouldn't bet my money on it (not even my tangos:-)). |
| I hope this guy delivers so you guys can eat your words. Maybe this guy is like the Roman Abramovich of DotA, too much money but has a passion for something unlike Eryc who can dream and has half a passion but no money. |
| #26 all of their songs? |
| What is Nirvana is some company or what? Its smell liek a "fake" spirit. I can belive in a e-sport around interested international buissnes Like INtel, or Razer, or maybe some private Dota fan with a lot of money... but wat the hell its that? kurt Cobain is dead so it has nothing to do with music i guess |
| well it's not like they're droping their jobs/studies for professional dota. It's kind of a part time job except you're doing what you do for free anyway. |
| LOL!!! I have to ask, Is Zextar included when they go to the LANs??? If he is, He's one hell of a lucky manager :D |
| #30 I could be wrong, but the choice of the sponsor name was probably more intended for its use in buddhism. Where the word basically is used to describe a person that transcends human nature and achieves a new level of consciousness. |
| Yes as #33 says Nirvana is a central concept in Buddhism so it doesnt necessarily have anything to do with the band of the same name. ' But anyway gz on getting a comitted sponsor for a talented team. Hopefully this will start a serious trend of good sponsors in the dota scene. |
| i thought kky is 19-20 ^^ ! |
| everything is fine as long as they get to attent LANs with Asian Top Teams : ) |
| A very long interview indeed. But still, better than nothing. |
| #25 we should hope loveen will not annoy his father, because it would mean no more pocket money for loveen = end of Nirvana Gaming, haha |
| what i wonder do u ever get laid with a face like this ? mhm |
| #23 The best combination you can get! :D |
| #43 well maybe some1 have more money than u and he doesnt care about it? Can u borow me 5 euros, so i can pay my rent? plz...dont wanna spend another month on street |
| #42 shut up and stop talk about euro, cuz ur dollar is not more worth than shit paper, u cant even exchange it into gold. |
| if they go to eswc, they will have to represent US (lol @ kuroky playing for AMERIKA THE GREAT) |
| #45 n3komata ? l miss 7L.. |
| #45 1.00 USD = 6.82720 CNY Sorry broski. Seems like Uncle Sam wins again. |
| Luck with the new clan kuroky :) |
| Ehome's got lots of sponsors yet never heard they're having monthly salary |
