Misery: 'I think with time everyone will start playing DotA 2'

Q:LGD clan base just moved to Hangzhou, there's an old Chinese saying,” In heaven there is paradise/ On earth, Suzhou and Hangzhou”. How do you feel here?

Misery: haha, ofcourse there is a chinese saying *smiles* I havent seen that much of Hangzhou, only the area around the LGD base, but I know there is some amazing nature here, and Im looking forward to exploring Hangzhou more in the future. I can say that the air here is way better than in Beijing and other cities, so thats very cool!
Pajkatt: I really like Hangzhou, it's a very nice city and our base is also very good. On top of that we have an awesome teamleader (Nicholas) and the other LGD team is very friendly.

Q: Can you tell curious players when LGD thought of forming an international team? And how did you get in touch with them?
Misery: After TI2, Pajkatt and I wanted to take dota 2 to the next level, and the only way to do that is to play in China because the skill level and seriousness is much higher here. So we basically wrote some of our contacts in China, and ended up talking to LGD.Rurutia and in the end it made everything possible.
Pajkatt: I started speaking to LGD after TI2 because I was intrested in playing Dota in China, because I feel that the scene is much stronger and more professional here.

Q:Several members of LGD.int are very well-known solo, carry position players, what will the role distribution look like in the team? Will someone have to make a transition to play support?

Misery: I know we had a lot of people critisizing the team because of the roles of the players in the team, but PJ and I spent a lot of time thinking about the roster, and we are confident in our players capabilities to play their roles to its fullest potential! PJ will take the role as 1, G will play 2, Brax playing 3, I - MiSeRy will play 4 and 1437 is gonna take hard support as 5. Personally I wanted to transition to support role, as I did last year for EG, it's a role I'm comfortable with and also a role that is very hard to play.
Pajkatt: With Chinese terms, the roles of our team will be me on 1, God on 2, Brax on 3, Misery on 4 and 1437 on 5. This means Misery will switch from 2 to 4, but he is a very talented player and he is already doing a very good job at it.

Q: Team manager RURU said you would stay in Chinese for a long time for training when your team formed. Is it your desire? Or it has been considered when the team was formed?

Misery: Yea, the plan has from the beginning been to move to China and play from here, the team was formed after, it was a bit difficult to find the right players, because its a big commitment to move to China for a year or more, but it worked out in the end!
Pajkatt: It is my/our desire to stay here for a long time and make sure we dont waste this great opportunity and staying together with one team for a long time will help your teamplay a lot.

Q:As DotA map version continual updating, Chinese still remains a large numbers of DotA players, but most competitions has change to DOTA2. So the DotA has many players but no ompetitions, and DOTA2 has many competitions and no players. If this embarrassing situation would effect the tntegral development of DOTA?

Misery:I think with time everyone will start playing DotA 2, I heard the problem is the lack of beta keys in china and the fact that dota 2 is running on steam. Now it might be a problem, but in half a year or something, it should be fine. Im sure Valve is aware of the problem and they are working 24/7 to make everything better.
Pajkatt:I think within one year close to everyone will be playing DotA 2 rather than DotA, it's more viewer friendly and after playing it now for more than a year I feel that it's a better game than DotA.
