New year, new team, new region.
DreamLeague Season 22 comes with a lot of new situations for the Filipino mid laner Yopaj.
What made you switch from Southeast Asia to North America this season?
What are the differences in play styles you feel between the two regions?
The team dynamics are very different.
Here, for example, we talk so much more about macro aspects and strategies.
SEA has a lot of skilful players but lacks leadership, and captainship compared to other regions.
Yes, and there is also a very big difference in mindset and mentality between SEA and other regions.
Especially when it comes to LAN events.
I feel like the teams from the other regions are much stronger in that aspect.
They are very welcoming and they made sure I have no issues in integrating with the team.
Is this different from what you experienced with your previous teams?
I would say it was a lot similar back when I was playing with BOOM Esports.
How does the mid lane feel right now?
I do like that as a mid lane you have so many more things to think about.
You have so much work to do as a mid player, and I enjoy that a lot.
I kind of like the new system because it gives more LAN tournaments.
For players, this year seems a lot more competitive in a way.
Do you have a patch wish list for Valve?
The only thing that I would really love to see is Earth Spirit being buffed.
DreamLeague Season 22 is the first big tournament of 2024 for Shopify Rebellion.
How do you guys feel heading into it, how are the vibes in the Shopify bootcamp?
To be honest, I didn’t expect it to take so much time.
