The prestigious Sendi Mutiara Multimedia is just around the corner, where dreams are made and dreams are shattered. Can this group of guys finally make their "Dreamz" come true?
After being the overall champions in the GMPGL WC3 DotA they won chance to represent Philippines. They battled all year long to get to this state and yes all of their hard work has finally paid off and indeed they deserved it.
Mineski.PowerColor
It was an incredible run for the philippine team finishing 3rd overall after falling against Nirvana.cn in the semi-finals. Nevertheless, Mineski PowerColor have surpassed all expectations to become the first South East Asian team in four years to get a top three at SMM.
We had a chance to talk with the manager of Dreamz, Mr. Justin Alm and Mr. Julius Sto Domingo the man who has the most experience in the team locally and internationally, on their chance to compete in the prestigious Sendi Mutiara Multimedia (SMM).
How does it feel being the overall champs in the GMPGL-WC3 DotA and will be representing PH in this year's SMM?
I am having a hard time finding the right words to describe the way i feel about being the overall champs and most specially representing the Philippines at this years SMM. I guess the best way to describe it is euphoria. We love our country and to be asked to represent the Philippines is an honor that only happens once in a lifetime.
Mineski placed 3rd in last year's SMM, respectively. How much pressure does it bring to your team.
I actually respect and admire Mineski because they are the pioneers of international tournaments for the Philippines. As for added pressure i don't think it really affects us that much. We can only control our own actions and we are focused with only one goal in mind to win this years SMM.
What preparations will the team be doing for the said event where in you will be playing against international teams.
After i met with my team we all agreed to practice at least 4 times a week against all the top teams here in the Philippines. We will experiment with different hero combinations and a new approach to the game. I just hope we can put it all together before the tournament starts.
What are we going to expect from Dreamz?
I expect for us to take this honor that has been granted to us seriously. We will do whatever it takes to be at our best by the time SMM starts.
What is your personal message to the team, Julz, Owey,Yoshi, LA and Paty.
My message for my team is give it all you got something like this only happens once in a lifetime and now it's in front of us grab it. Winning this years SMM will change your life forever. Once you accomplish something like this your whole view of life will change you will not settle for anything less after this experience.
Thank you so much for the time, anyone you want to thank?
I want to thank my team for being so focused and dedicated to our common goal. I want to thank our sponsor Jason and Wilson from Ledion. Without your support i don't think we could have accomplished what we have now. From the Dreamz family we love you. SteelSeries, Tryke and Ms Marian you had faith in us from the start and we will not forget that. To all Dreamz family and fans we dedicate all of this for you without all of you none of this would mean anything let's take this journey together.

First of all, how do you feel representing PH once again in the prestigious SMM?
Im so glad to be representing ph once again. Maybe it's a lot of pressure for me because this is the first time my teammates are going to compete.
Last year you were with Mineski, but this year with Dreamz, what do you think will be the difference this time.
I am proud of what we accomplished last year with Mineski. We finished 3rd and to think that was one of our first time to play against international teams is an accomplishment by itself.
Placing 3rd last year is already a big achievement for the Philippines, do you think Dreamz can do better this year?
This year with Dreamz all 6 of us are so focused in winning because we know this might be the last Dota 1 SMM tournament and to win would be considered history.
Any message for the team?
Let's do our best GO PH! GO DREAMZLEDIONSTEELSERIES and goodluck to other ph teams.
Thank you so much for the time, anyone you want to thank?

Can this year's representatives finally bring home the bacon or it will just be another bitter end to all the hard work. Participating in the event is just the first part of the journey, can they go all the way and make their "Dreamz" come true?
