XtiNcT and YamateH talks ADC

ADC is finally coming to a close with the Best of Five Grand Final to be played on Thursday 2200 GMT+8 (1500 CET). Lets see how both teams have to say regarding the finals shall we?

First up, we have a short interview with XtiNcT from Nirvana.MY who reveals that there will be a new player to take ChuaN's place along with their current team sponsorship.
Nirvana.my have been waiting in the number 1 position for a long time now, did the team train before this
-"Not really, we just had our training 2-3 days before the grand final match."

Now that ChuaN is in LGD.sGty, who will be taking his place?
-"We have found our last player to replace him but we will not announce our last player till our team have settled down."

Does the team have confidence in winning the grand finals? If so how do you think the score will go?
-"We do have confidence in winning but due to the recent performance of Scythe-Gaming, our confidence has been reduced. However we will still try our best in the finals. I think the score will be 3-1 in favor of Scythe."

Loveen once mentioned that he'll drop the sponsorship of your team, can you confirm that?
-"Yes indeed. We are no longer being sponsored by Loveen and we have no sponsors as of now."

So will the team still use the Nirvana tag for now?
-"We will use it for ADC but not in future competition."

For the grand finals of ADC, will you do some surprise picks like how LGD.sGty picking AA in their game against Scythe
-"I don't think we will be doing any surprise picks due to our lack of training"

Recently there was an announcement of the i City Pro DotA tournament in Malaysia with a significant prize pool, will you guys be participating?
-"We sure will."

ADC is coming to a close, which game up to now was the most memorable for you?
-"I can't really remember which is most memorable right now as most of the games have been played a long time ago."

Alright. That's a wrap. Any shoutouts?
-"thank you for all the fans that support us all the way we will try our best in the ADC Grand Finals. Lastly good luck for Scythe Gaming may the best win!!!"

On to YamateH, this time we pick his brains more as to what makes certain heroes tick and why some heroes maybe used in the competitive scene in the future.
You guys came from sixth place all the way up to the grand finals how do you find the climb to the top?
-"Although a few things happened during our climbed, we are still very happy about it."

So far along what game do you think is the most memorable for you?
-"Every game to me is rather memorable, especially the games versus XtC and LGD. The game versus XtC was played on the third day of Chinese New Year while the one versus LGD was played on my birthday, that makes them extra memorable."

The match against Nirvana.CN was a very controversial one. Would you like to give your account of the story to clear the team's name?
-"What needs to be said, I've pretty much said on GosuGamers. I don't really want to say anymore in case I said something wrong and cause another uproar."

Your sponsor, XinXin, mentioned that he will be dropping the team after what happened. But I see the team still wearing the Scythe tag. What is the current sponsorship situation of the team right now?
-"We took some time and talked to XinXin after that. In the end XinXin respected the friendship the five of us have with him and decided to continue sponsoring us. I would also like to take this opportunity to say a big thanks to him."

Nirvana.MY will be using a new player to replace ChuaN, how do you think they will perform with fresh blood?
-"We have trained with them a few times and I think they are very good."

The Grand Finals will be a best of 5 match. Are you have confident in winning? If so, what do you think the score will be like?
-"Our confidence is just normal, nothing special to it. We would of course like to 3-0 them, I believe that Nirvana.MY would like to 3-0 us as well, however I believe this match will be fought to the bitter end. Afterall, any team that can reach the finals is a team that should never be underestimated."

We have seen Batrider being picked very frequently, can you give us an insight as to why so?
-"I personally think that Batrider is a really good hero this version, possibly due to the fact that he can be played in different ways. A solo, or a neutraler and so on."

Ancient Apparition was being picked and banned by LGD.sGty quite a lot
do you think we will see more of the ice man in current map?

-"I believe we will see more of him, Ancient Apparition is also a really good hero this version."

Why do you think ancient is such a viable picks this version?
-"His skills no matter as a solo or in a team fight are all very useful"

Besides Batrider and AA, what other heroes do you think will be picked more often?
-"Weaver for sure."

Any reasons behind that?
-"Because no matter what lane you solo Weaver at, she will always cause major problems to the opponents. She is not easy to kill, and when he reaches high levels, she can be considered a free farming hero."

Alright, that is all for now. Any finals shoutouts?
-"I wish everyone a fun time playing DotA, I'd also like to thank our sponsor Scythe Gaming."
