Sean “Snare” Rihlamvu is a relatively new face in the Dota 2 talent landscape.
Hi Snare, welcome to Bali!
Is it your first time here?
How do you find it?
Hi, yes, it’s my first time in Bali, my first time in Asia actually.
It’s an amazing place to be, it’s really gorgeous.
I had a really, really good time here.
So, lets start with the beginnings.
As far as I know, you started by aiming at a professional play career.
When and how did you discover Dota?
Then, I started to become more serious about Dota.
And I guess the rest is kind of history.
Generally speaking, games that have a somewhat lower way to enter them.
So, a lot of people have to resort to things like playing on the EU servers.
Youve also made your Major debut in Lima, Peru.
Now youre in Bali.
Thats a lot of travelling and we are only halfway through the year.
How do you like this kind of living, are you happy to travel this much?
It’s a new experience for me so, I’m very happy to do it.
It was my first time visiting all these locations.
But for now, I want to do it for as long as humanly possible.
It’s very fun, and I also get to do the thing I enjoy the most.
What is the most pleasant memory from recent years related to your career in Dota 2?
I would say TI.
It’s a stupid story, but that’s my favourite moment.
Usually, the answer is no.
It’s not a pipe dream anymore.
So, yeah that is my favorite moment, even though it involved Reddit.
As far as I know, you are open to hosting events outside of the Dota 2 world.
What is the biggest dream that you chase in your career?
I want to be involved in some way with the TI finals.
We have a special anniversary coming our way on July 9.
Get the game out of beta?
That would be nice.
What are we trying to achieve?
Then, we went through this period of time when everything got too inflated, I would say.
What I want from Dota is to be around for as long as possible.
And I want Dota to have the same degree of pedigree outside of just our community.
