Loveen talks about DotA and future plans

178Dota.com was able to catch the owner of Nirvana, Loveen for an interview. Just for your viewing pleasure, GosuGamers had the interview translated. So without further ado, here is the interview

Hi, Loveen! So glad that you took time off to accept 178gaming’s interview, could you say hi and introduce yourself to the community?

-"Hello, everyone, I’m the owner of Nirvana, and it is my honor to do an interview with 178gaming."

It is understood that you have just returned to China recently. Is it for holiday or for matters related to DotA?

-"It is actually mainly for holiday however I can take this opportunity get to know more about players from Nirvana.CN and learn how to be a better manager."

Pissss is an upcoming and rising star with a lot of talent and potential.
Its been confirmed earlier this morning that Pissss and DGC will be joining Nirvana.CN. What are your thoughts on these two players?

-"Nirvana.CN has been under-performing lately especially losing out on the chance to qualify for ESWC. I hope the two new players will improve the results of the team. Pissss is an upcoming and rising star with a lot of talent and potential. He also has a lot of fans who likes him a lot. As for DGC, he is very experienced player. With him being part of the team, he can help the team by implementing new strategies. I really hope that the two new additions will bring Nirvana.CN to new heights and win all their matches."

Our goal is to get our team chemistry up to their standard to compete with them
With the new Nirvana.CN lineup, many players predict that they will put Nirvana.CN on the same level as Ehome and LGD. What are your thoughts about those two teams?

-"EHOME and LGD have already trained up an excellent team chemistry among themselves which can be seen through their strong performance lately. Our goal is to get our team chemistry up to their standard to compete with them"

Nirvana.My MMU Game Festival
Nirvana.int has been invited for ESWC, while Nirvana.my will attend the ESWC Malaysia Qualifiers and hopefully be able to secure their spot at ESWC. At present, do any of these two teams have any roster changes and how will they be preparing for ESWC?

-"Both Nirvana.int and Nirvana.my are making preparation for ESWC and do have some substitute players, so the final lineups are be yet to be confirmed. If Nirvana.My wins the ESWC Malaysia qualifiers, Mushi would not be attending the event due to health reasons so we will find a experienced and talented Malaysia player to take his place."

You were able to attend the ESWC China Qulifiers Finals. How did you feel when you were at the event? You also plan to hold the "Dota World Cup" some time later this year. Could you shed some light on that event?

-"The atmosphere at the ESWC China Qualifiers Finals is really amazing. The amazing atmosphere has solidify my confidence and hopes in the Chinese Dota scene. In regards to "Dota World Cup", it is no problem for me to host on successful event. The challenging part is to continuously be able to host the "Dota World Cup" successfully. My current focus right now is to make this event a success so that it is possible to keep hosting the "Dota World Cup".

Loveen and players from Nirvana.Int
We really hope that the "Dota World Cup" event will be as successfully and frequent like WCG. At the current moment, there are a lot of upcoming teams that are extremely good and the scene is getting bigger and better. So is does it differ in Europe and America compared to China?

-"I do not think it is only the American and European dota scene, but the whole DotA scene as a whole needs that requires a better management system. To commercialize and professionalize the scene is not an easy task and we are all still in the infancy stages. If the players, teams, sponsors and fans all cannot work together, we would be unable to achieve anything. However I believe that the future for DotA is a very bright as it has a huge fan-base along with its own attractions to attract new players. I hope we can find a way to make DotA into a true eSports."

Thanks a lot for doing the interview. We hope that all your teams will achieve success in the coming events and we are looking forward to Dota World Cup!

-"Thank you. All the best for Nirvana!"
