Seleri Interview: “None of us had ever had this, where everyone puts you as the favourite”

It also helps when you are winning them.

Winning a tournament gives you a big boost of energy.

It also helps a lot when you are having a good time with your teammates.

So, in that regard, we’ve been very fortunate.

However, you do need to double-check you take your rest in between whenever you might.

You are going to TI this year from a very different position to compared to TI11.

How do you, as a team, feel going into TI12 with this huge target on your back?

It’s hard to say to be honest.

We are in a pretty good mood and we look at it as a new experience.

None of us had ever had this, where everyone puts you as the favourite.

We felt a bit more stressed there than all other events we’ve been to this year.

You’ve won all Majors this year, but the DPC was put to rest by Valve.

What’s your thought on this decision?

I joked about this on Twitter.

I said, “I guess we are too good so they had to cancel the DPC.”

But on a serious note, something definitely had to change because it felt a bit too drawn out.

The leagues took longer than the actual LAN event.

A league was three weeks and the Majors were two weeks at best and that felt a bit weird.

That definitely had to change and one solution is to just cancel the DPC leagues altogether.

If there are 10 tournaments I’ll play them, if there are 5, I’ll play them.

Haha, yes that was pretty crazy.

Yes, that is a really big change, and I think it’s a really good one.

What I experienced so far in practice and tournament games is that it feels way more open.

I’m very surprised, to be honest, that it changed so much.

I did not expect it.

Last year you donated some of your TI earnings to a charity shelter for animals.

Have you thought about what are you going to do with your prize money this year?

At the end of the day, you also need to be able to live.

TI12 prize pool might not reach even the same amount as what we had last year.

You definitely want to win TI so you’re free to say that you won TI.

But, at the same time, money can add some pressure on you.

Right now we are not worried about it in any way.

So thank you for that and thank you for all the beautiful bootcamps that we had.
