- In the pro scene you never really hear much about the Russian community of League of Legends, how does Russia view the game/how is it looked at by parents/outsiders of the community (The public)
- I think right now World of Tanks and Dota are more popular than league of legends in Russia. Though there are a lot of people coming to the tournaments to watch even russian pro teams. Most of the time parents don't like if someone goes into cybersport because it affects hard ur studying but then they start to support you. I think it's same in every country. The most problem right now is Dota against LOL rivalry in russian communities that I'm starting to get tired off.
The second problem is lack of russian organizations and russian tournaments in League of legends that slows development of russian pro players and russian teams overall. People like to group up lose and disband all day long.
- What do you think about Teemo in the current meta?
- Super annoying, delete that hero please. If you get into midgame and he got liandrys+morellos, one shroom deals around 900 dmg into 100 mres. That is just a joke. He is really hard to counterplay if you don't have particular plan. Though his team needs to know what to do either.
- How did the return of Edward affect you? Are you guys better than last split or is there some personal problems?
- I think we are much better than the last split and our potential is much higher. We are not balancing on edge of top6 but going for atleast top2 during split and top1 in playoffs !
