I caught up with the King of the Queen City and had talk about the finals game and some plans for the team in the future.
How does it feel when your team made a part on Philippine Pro-gaming history as the 1st provincial team to win a nationwide tournament?
-"It felt extremely great for being the 1st provincial team to win a nationwide tournament because we always fail to win against manila top teams, but now our effort paid-off really well."
Latos was quoted as the Most Improved Team duting PEDL. Performing very low at start but jumping to the top slowly as the tournament goes by, any insights on this?
-"At first we really struggled in our playweek just to beat manila top dota teams, our aim that time was just to win every game we can, if we lose we watch and discuss our mistakes and then apply what we have discussed for the upcoming games and we were so happy to get into the playoffs. We trust one another that's just it and try to have fun in every game."
So much about the team, any ideas on Rhoms vision that 2011 is the year for Pinoy Gamers?
" I hope so and i will support that vision of his, for 2011 is the year of LATOS DOTA! joke. We'll try our best to fullfil our dreams and his dream also. For he is our role model in the Pro-DotA scene."
