OnGamers sat down with former LGD.int and current Team Dog player, Per 'Pajkatt' Olsson. He talked about his previous team, his current plans and the future of the Dota2 scene.
What can you tell us about your current teammates, their roles on the team and their capabilities? It's a bit hard to understand that a team with players such as yourself, Demon and MiSeRy is "just a bunch of friends playing together". What do you expect from the future?
The atmosphere when we play is quite laid back, which suits me well at the moment. Misery is currently playing carry, Demon mid, Smul offlane, leaving me and Fogged on support, something I've been wanting to try for a long time. I have no idea what the future has in store, but my intentions are to keep playing with these guys for some time and see what that leads to. I wish to find a team, that can play well together as well as work outside the game, a team that can handle setbacks and maintain a healthy attitude towards the game.
You started off strong and reached the finals of G-League where you lost to iG. However, the following period didn't bring any significant results. There were no prestigious results at The International either. Do you feel like you lacked practice against the Western teams? Do you feel like this was the problem for you - Western scene growing and your team not having enough interaction with it's teams?
We started our trip to China in a very good way because we were all very eager to play and we really enjoyed our time in China during that period of time. Then, there was an unfortunate break for about 2 months where we all went home and barely played. We came back to China shortly before the finals which we lost, which can be considered as fine, but after G-league there were barely any tournaments for 3 months, which led to us losing motivation. People can rant all they want about how Dota was/is our job and that we should maintain motivation playing scrims all day long for 3 months while barely having a social life, but that's just not how it works. I would say lack of matches as well as an unfortunate timing of the Chinese spring festival made our results even worse than they could/should/would've been.
