Abed interview: “I would very much like to see Phantom Assassin nerfed before TI”

How do you feel entering DreamLeague Season 21, what’s the atmosphere in the team right now?

Youve played in NA for the last few years.

I can’t really say it’s better than before the DPC.

How about the competitive scene in Southeast Asia, would you ever consider going back?

Yeah, of course.

Nobody knows what will happen after this season, but I’m definitely open to anything.

The scene in SEA for sure has gotten more competitive than before.

Right now, there’s one team that is the best in the region and that is Talon.

What are your thoughts on the DPC system being scrapped?

When do we get to see the Abed Meepo?

Oh, we will see it this TI, hopefully.

How has the mid lane changed with the 7.34 patch?

I like the heroes for mid lane right now.

Oh yeah, and I’m so glad that they are gone.

For instance, I’m so glad that the mid lane Snapfire is gone.

I couldn’t find a way to beat that hero in lane.

Are there any heroes in the current patch that bother you with how overtuned they are?

Would like to see a new balance patch with some nerfs in it before TI12?

I’m gonna be a bit biased and say Phantom Assassin.

This hero wins every single game in my pubs, so definitely something is broken.

So, I would very much like to see this hero nerfed before TI.

Who would you say are the most annoying or hardest mid laners to play against these days?

Quinn, Nisha and SumaiL.

You are one of the players who got to experience TI when it had the insanely large prize pools.
