The team has went through a lot lately. After SMM Kuroky left, H4nn1- is also inactive and you lost a lot of matches because of lack of enough practise games. How are your new additions doing? Although Playmate is not that new to the team. Are you feeling well in MYM.DotA?
MYM|PusHer: "It's true that we went through a lot of in the post-SMM period, we first lost a valuable member to a new rival team, then our results started suffering from new year's laziness where the team drifted apart and ultimately split up into our original parts which was mutual from all sides. As for the new additions, Maelk had been talking about wanting to play with Playmate again for a long time even before it started going bad for the team, so picking up Playmate was natural. He recommended Lacoste and we tried it out, it worked out in practise and everyone is working hard again, and we've been remotivated by some fresh blood. We just hope we can keep the results when we meet the heavy contenders."
MYM|PlaymatE: "Yes, I feel alot more confident now than before and I feel that I have grown both individually and as a teamplayer. With such a strong team I have no doubt we will be fighting our way back up. We have an amazing captain who's strong both in picking and in playing and his roaming strats are just wow."
“
I'm sure we will be given a serious challenge”MYM|PusHer: "We haven't been really pushed against the wall in any official games so far but winning in the way we've been able to so far has worked out very well, but as for a proper bo3 against a serious contender is different. Hopefully the results will be the same, as for my expectations for the TeG game I'm sure we will be given a serious challenge which hopefully in the end will result in a victory for us."
MYM|PlaymatE: "Well I cant really say, so far so good but as they say you win some you lose some so time will tell and I think testing has just started since we've already played strong teams such as Mainline, SWM and DIPS but the ones more superior and dominating are DDT and Nirvana and I can only add that I am looking forward to meeting them. :)"
