Aui and Sneyking Interview at Bali Major

Check the full interview below for their insights and thoughts.

Hello both of you and thank you for taking the time to talk to us.

On a serious note, how has playing with your coach impacted you as a team?

Sneyking: Playing with Aui is definitely different from playing with Saksa.

Obviously, Aui is playing position 5 so, I had to switch to position 4.

We are still in the middle of testing things and seeing what works.

Aui, how does it feel to play again and win some matches?

I’m sort of in bad form for playing, honestly.

But it’s nice to be carried.

It’s so easy to play with my team!

You are the only one to have won TI as a player and as a coach.

And I think it took me a long time to become a better coach.

It was like an improvement thing for me in this area.

I coached a lot of teams before Tundra.

Aui_2000: Not that much I would say.

I don’t really want to play.

I mean, they needed me to stand in, but honestly, I didn’t want to.

If you could remove one hero from the game right now, which one would it be?

Sneyking: Probably it will be Morphling.

He obviously is the most contested and controversial hero of the tournament.

What are your overall thoughts on the Universal heroes?

Are they suited for the game, can they be balanced somehow?

They give you more avenues to bounce the game.

So, theoretically, I like the Universal concept.

Have you had to adapt your coaching style after the drop of the 7.33 patch?

It wasn’t a lack of trying or stuff like that from us.

We are still really hungry to win.

Sneyking: Feeling pressured after winning TI really depends on the person.

I also think that in the correct environment, these things shouldn’t affect you.

A new season is a new, fresh start, it doesn’t matter what happened previously.

You just keep working hard and focusing on what’s ahead of you.

These things are not helpful and unnecessary so, we are just focusing on what’s ahead.

Are you enjoying Dota a bit more since the New Frontiers patch or is it the other way around?

Sneyking: The new patch is quite refreshing.

How has this huge update impacted your personal gameplay?

Also, the lotuses that I forgot to mention.

Who would say is the GOAT in Dota 2?

Aui_2000: For me, the GOAT is Puppey just because he had such good results for so long.

Sneyking: Definitely Puppey.

How about who is the best individual player?

Aui_2000: I think Sumail had the highest peak compared to other players.

Sneyking: This thing really depends on the day.

If you’re feeling it, you are going to be the best player in the game that day.

It could be me, it could be my teammate, it could be anyone.

Because the competition is so tight, it really just depends on who is having a good day.
