You haven't seen Kim Drayich Larsson in a while. As you may be aware of, mouz|Twisted recently announced Drayich wouldn't come to DreamHack because of his real life duties. It was today officially announced that the Mouz Captain will step down from his leader position and go inactive! The reasons for this have been previously stated; he has a lot of real life duties; his wife, son and their unborn child. Drayich is a real veteran in DotA, he has merits few other players have, which makes it all the more saddening to see such a great player go.
I took the time to interview Drayich about this decision.
Why did you decide to temporarily leave the DotA scene?
My strenght as a team captain and player of mousesports is my great spirit and leadership. Due to my current real life situation, having another kid coming in february, my new house and my new job i lack that spirit. I got other things on my mind, thats why I step down and hopefully I can grow it back over time.
As you said, you're the captain of mouz and also the main picker/banner in the matches, will the team keep its top shape without you?
They will have issues, but I believe that they will overcome them and come out of it even stronger. Now they also dont need to have me feeding in the games just cause I can pick heroes.
You have always wanted to play the important matches to be sure, do you have the faith Away will be ready to take your place?
Every player in mousesports is as good or better then me. Its just about the team spirit and that has nothing to do with any player, but every player.
How long are you planning to stay away?
At least until this year is over.
Do you have anything to say to your fans?
Kisses and Hugs
Thank you.
While Drayich is inactive, Twisted will go in as co-leader!
I also interviewed the new team captain Twisted!
Do you think you can keep your shape with Drayich temporarily out of the picture?
I hope so!
You were appointed as the co-leader, do you know why he chose you?
Because im the only one in Mouz not completely fucked in the head.
Will Drayich leave a wide space in the team?
Yea havnt you seen his picture? He's almost as big as Tompa, we're talking about an ENORMOUS gap!
Yesterday where you lost against Sublime, what went wrong? Will you be able to fix it?
We got outpicked, outplayed and we underperformed.... hmmmm? Do i need to say more? Like we practise something in the scrims, then we dont play it I think we will fix that before dreamhack.
All jokes aside, we are really grateful to Dray and all the time he put down with us. I think I speak for everyone when I heartily wish him good luck with his family and I really hope he will return to us one day and take over again!
Thank you.
We wish Papa Dray the best of luck!
