Thank you for taking the time to chat to us.
Team Spirit remains one of the favourites to win The International 2024.
How much pressure does this put on the team to perform?
At TI you just need to perform your best, no matter what.
Would you say that Gaimin Gladiators remains your strongest opposition?
Or is there someone else who could take that spot?
I cannot say who is our strongest opponent.
To follow up on that, you have faced off against Xtreme Gaming many times this year.
How big is the threat from them or CN teams in general?
Chinese teams are always very strong and always a threat.
Team Spirit was another team to break the TI Curse.
Does this thought ever cross your mind when looking to become the three-time champions?
If it happens, it would be great.
I hope we can do it, but we will see.
In Group D, who do you feel was your toughest opponent?
ProbablyTeam Liquidbut all the teams are good.
Everyone wants to win TI, but should you not win, what result would you be happy with?
It’s hard to say, you always feel bad when you lose.
Maybe top three, even though you did not win, you are still okay with it.
But how have you felt about the latest patch?
Do you feel that it is a good patch to go into TI with?
I think every patch is good.
If you are a good team, it does not matter which patch or which heroes are good.
What do you feel is the strongest part of your coaching?
Do you feel that you have any weaknesses?
Sure, I have a lot of weaknesses, but my strengths are hard to say.
If you make it through to the Grand Final, who would you want to go up against?
I would like to win if that happened, but then I would just say some bad team.
How has the prize pool changed your perception of TI?
I actually do not know what the prize pool is right now.
It is about the prestige of TI and we want to win no matter what the prize pool is.
But a bigger prize pool means bigger hype.
You have been in the Dota world for as long as I can remember.
It was my first TI, which was TI2.
I had never been outside my country, and it was just amazing.
Everything blew my mind at that time including all the amazing computers.
