Tjernobyl spoke with Mirsad 'DeMeNt' Djokovic about their victory:
Tjernobyl: Well, first off, congratulations. Did you expect to pull it off?
DeMeNt: Thanks. First of all, we were pretty confident going into this game knowing coL's gameplans and playstyle, until they came up with a few new strats.
But we kept cool and played it out as good as possible. To be honest, I didn't expect a clear 3-0 against coL but i am happy either way!
Tjernobyl: Did you came up with any new strategies in the heat of the moment, or was everything practiced?
DeMeNt: Was in the heat of the moment, we couldn't practice at all the last few days/weeks due to the massive official games we had. We were quite surprised by the THD pickup all 3 games, but don't get me wrong, its a very good support hero with the ability to defend and also tank up with literally no items. We tried to adapt to their new playstyle and everything went as expected.
Tjernobyl: If you have enough official games, I guess you don't need to practice, since you're playing so much. Hah.
DeMeNt: That's a good but also a bad thing. If you have a lot official games, you have to play your typical playstyle in perfection and there is no room for practicing new stuff. A team that plays a lot officials, but doesn't practice will be readable over the time since you can't just come up with something new and experiment when there is money on the line or if you risk of dropping out of a tournament.
Tjernobyl: Are you aiming to practice even more now when some tournaments are over?
DeMeNt: Definitely, you know every team is aiming to win The International 2 and I am pretty sure its not that easy to get an invite! Constant training is mandatory to improve and also get rid of mistakes that shouldn't happen at all. Mousesports is aiming to be one of the best teams and for that, each of us has to stand up and do something!
Tjernobyl: What is your take on mouz having a German flag on GosuGamers? I must ask this.
DeMeNt: Mousesports is a German organisation with their headquarter being in Berlin - Germany, we chose to carry it on!
Tjernobyl: There you have it, you heard it from mouz|DeMeNt himself. Thanks very much for speaking with us.
