ROCCAT DotA GosuCup: EnDs to face Na`Vi at 18:00 CET

Having just won the FARM4FAME 3.1 tournament, Natus Vincere is about to open up Group B2. Today's opponent is EnDs who managed to take points off FEARZ and GGnet in the first Groupstage and seem ready for another upset. We asked both teams about expectations and the current state of mind.

L1on,the groupings for the next stage were released a while ago; are you happy with your group?
-"Its a fine group, all teams are so good anyway"

Our team as well as Greek DotA in general seemed to gain a lot more popularity and interest since your participation in the Gosucup. Greece was invited to the prime nations and EnDs to a few F4F qualifiers. Does this impression match with your experience and happenings around you as of late?
-"Of course Greek DotA starts to get more attention by other nations, as its the first time Greece starts to participate and doing well in online events. As our team made the first step to participate in tours like that, it makes other well-doing Greek teams to show up and the scene more intresting. Participating in events like those and facing top teams gives us experience and confidence to move on. We are happy to represent Greece as a team and will participate at the most prestigious events if its possible."

How is the team feeling at the moment. Do you think you are strong enough to advance out of this group?
-"We are pleased having reach to this point.wel believe we can do it in this group and need the best of us as we face top teams!"

You will play Na`Vi later today; do you have anything prepared, or is there anything you picked up on them, which you will use in the game?
-"Yes as you ask...we have planed to use a particular strategy;pick some standard heros as we play with Na`Vi, who are one of the top teams right now!!

Will we see rikimaru again?
-"I dont think so ...we ll try a different tactic"

Then best of luck to EnDs in your game and the second groupstage in general. Any last words?
-"Good luck to all teams in the groups! Hope we have a great time!"

Dendi, shortly before your first match in the second groupstage. Are you happy with the drawings or would you have preferred to face different teams, or does it not matter?
-"It doesn't matter . But i think our group is easier then group A; we will try out best to pass it"

Apart from you; who would you consider the most dangerous team in the group. Have you played against paiN gaming yet?
-"we didn't played against paiN yet . I think all teams are decent . Probably BP will be strongest opponent , but time will show. As for paiN, it depends on Hostbot what we gonna use against paiN"

The roles in Na`Vi seem to always be clearly distributed as XBOCT is mostly playing side solo as Puck or WR, you in Mid with SF or Invoker and then a trilane with Artstyle as tank. Doesnt this strict distribution get boring from time to time?
-"You don't need to change the thing , that is working perfect :). Well , we are playing many different things lately and trying many new things."

Thats true. You will play EnDS in about one hour. Is there anything you picked up on them, which you intend to use in the matches, or will you focus on your own strategies?
-"Nothing special . We will focus on our own strategies i think :), and do some bans to counter their game . Will see how it works ;) i believe in our win!
Then best of luck to you for your games. Any last words you can drop below if you want
-"thanks to everyone who cheering for us!"
