"Senchantorpeist" at thepremierleague.eu has coined the title 'Lokke' when talking about the Swedish duo of Jonathan 'Loda' Berg and Joakim 'Akke' Akterhall. Some of the Dota teams they've been part of side-by-side are Team_Team, Meet Your Makers, SK-Gaming, Counter Logic Gaming and Notidehunter.
Some excerpts from the original article:
Joakim 'Akke' Akterhall:
Well, we met in school when we were at the same class, we were 16 years old I believe. You can kinda say that it was gaming that brought us together, since we started to play Warcraft III together pretty soon after that. We played a “Random team 2v2″ tournament on Battle.net where we actually qualified for playoffs and finished 9th or something like that. Some time after that Loda told me to try out DotA and that’s where our journey began!
Jonathan 'Loda' Berg:
The first real team would be T_T (Team Team). If im not wrong it composed of Loda, Akke, Bogdan, Renji, Kwom. We signed up for an ESL qualifier where we played against some of the big names back then, like ONI (German team with H4nn1 and LevenT) and lolboat I think (which was a mix of Maelk, MaNia and maybe Paccie – not sure). We ended up winning the qualifier and shortly thereafter I was approached by Maelk to create a team (JoY) with him, me, Akke, MaNia and Paccie.
Joakim 'Akke' Akterhall:
Back in the old days, when Loda had the hard carry, I usually had the solo mid role. I played heroes like Viper, SF, Sylla, Leshrac and stuff like that. Also, I played Chen a lot and we had many “innovative” strats back then. One of our specialities was me going in the enemy woods with Chen (which at that time wasn’t popular at all) and Loda taking Terrorblade middle. I would come out as a biiiig suprise and gang their middle hero, maybe an SF, resulting in Loda having great farm on a super hard carry that couldn’t otherwise compete on mid lane.
