Interview with Forget.DotA

GosuGamers had the chance to sit down with the entire Sweden Forget.DotA (4G) team, the third place finisher in DreamHack Summer '09, to talk about their team and their future. Excuse the messiness, this was with all the players. Enjoy!

GosuGamers: First, why don't you all introduce yourselves and your team and maybe give a little background on how it was formed?

Sweden Forget.DotA:
Vinza: This team was founded around 8 months ago by me and l0lzorken under the name: NaB. Then we have made big roster changes as all teams do and now we are Forget.DotA because we joined their organization.

GG: Coming into this tournament, what were your goals and expectations for yourselves?

Sweden 4G:
Fishbone: Well, I was not expecting anything since lately we have not played very much together, but as we found out there weren´t many good teams, we decided to get third place!
Vinza: We thought it was a reachable goal.

GG: How do you play so well with each other if you just play casually?

Sweden 4G:
Fishbone: Well vs the best teams we got no chance tbh, but all of us have played a long time and so we can beat many teams.
Vinza: Yea, we got pub stomped three times by Ravens, and u can easily see we lack some experience vs the bigger teams
Fishbone: Well as we said, there weren´t many "pro" teams attending this time, mostly because of the low prize pool I guess...

GG: So you think if the prize pool was more, more teams would attend and we would have much better competition?

Sweden 4G:
Walleater: Yeah, I'm certain of that fact.
Vinza: I think so.
Fishbone: Yes, of course.
Vinza: Evil geniuses would attend, I think, and also Ks.int. I think also dmZ and more European teams would show up

GG: With this Third Place at DreamHack, do you think you will all start playing more and more DotA to compete with teams such as Ravens and TLT?

Sweden 4G:
Vinza: We will continue to practice with each other and maybe eventually we will get as good as them sometime :). But they have so much more experience together AND individually.

GG: Europe is now a big leader in the gaming world. What do you all think of DotA and E-Sports in general in Europe?

Sweden 4G:
Vinza: It seems like it's having a downtime, like many other things in the world because of the economic situation, but i think it will continue to grow more and more as time goes on :) and i hope DotA becomes a bigger E-Sport so it can compete more with games like CS 1.6 and such.
Fishbone: Well DotA is not getting the attention it deserves, imo, and the sponsors are kind of lacking. I don´t know, but with that many players playing this game there should be of more interest to sponsors.

GG: What are each players' roles on this team? We saw from DreamHack that Fishbone and Hijack love to play gankers.

Sweden 4G:
Fishbone: I'm the support (aka feeder) and sometimes ganker.
Hijack: Wall-eater is the carry, I'm playing a living ward.
Vinza: Wall-eater plays the carry usually and I the semi-carry or ganker and Kodden is all-around, he plays whatever :). Hijack usually doesn't play with us, hes a stand-in so he plays everything also.

GG: Do you ever get bored of just playing one role or do any of you ever just switch roles with another player to keep it more exciting?

Sweden 4G:
Vinza: Wall-e never gets tired of ricing.
Fishbone: In FW it's pretty much whatever. We pick what we like and sometimes some bastard steal my Warlock or CM.
Vinza: ye, in FW's it's a bit more free. Fishbone is best CM, ask 4k[kog] :)
Hijack: sometimes we take carry from Wall-eater but its very dangerous

GG: Why is it dangerous to take the carry from wall-eater? Is he that good?

Sweden 4G:
Kodden: Yes, he's an amazing player.
Fishbone: Many of our fanboys consider him the "star player" but we consider him as an auto attack hero only.
Vinza: He only plays heroes with tops 1 clickable ability.
Kodden: But hes the only one that can play them well we always fail when someone else tries to carry since he's actually carrying the team on his shoulders.
Hijack: Wall-eater hacked Kodden's computer, hes lying.

GG: Haha, well, are there any leagues or other tournaments that you are all planning to join? What about the coming DreamHacks this year and years to come?

Sweden 4G:
Vinza: We will of course attend the next DreamHack Winter, Pick-league, Swedish DotA League and some other tournaments. Maybe ESL and more. We'll see what pops up.

GG: Ok, I have to ask this in every interview. Favorite team, players, heroes, please!

Sweden 4G:
Vinza: of all times or of the existing?

GG: Oooo, let's do of all time.

Sweden 4G:
Hijack: Ravens, Yamateh, Clockwerk.
Wall-eater: Ravens, Mania, Dragon knight.
Vinza: VP, Vigoss, Bloodseeker.
Fishbone: Ks.int, Ars-ART/Vigoss, Tiny.
Kodden: TLT, Loda, PotM - last game in the final was impressive.
Hijack: And add to the fact that TLT is a great group of guys and they deserved to win DreamHack.

GG: Okay, time for all your shout-outs, gogogo!

Sweden 4G:
Vinza: SHOUT-OUT TO PANZER AND INIT-LAL :)
Kodden: Shout-out to our manager magma34 aka Magnus Johansson
Fishbone: Shout-out to domm3(fiker) and pinoy!
Hijack + Walleater: Yes, shout-out to magma34, very good manager, and to my team.

GG: Gluck with all your future endeavours ^^

Sweden 4G: Ty :)
