http://www.indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/world.gif Apteka has been disbanded due to lots of issues with members and a lack of motivation to play. GosuGamers got an exclusive interview with http://www.indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/rusia.gif Astra and http://www.indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/rusia.gif Azen about this recent news.
Interview with http://www.indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/rusia.gif Astra
First, why the disbandment of http://www.indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/world.gif Apteka?
http://www.indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/rusia.gif Astra: I think the main reason was not enough activity from some players in our team. We didn't train together for such a long time, almost never had 5 for cw so we played only at leagues like IDEC etc. Lately there was some troubles also inside team between some players. So we couldn't rise anymore : )
Any of the members have any plans to go anywhere else? Join other organizations?
Why won't you make a new team? Too much trouble?
What does this mean for the DotA community in Europe, do you think more and more teams will disband due to the same troubles your team had?
http://www.indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/rusia.gif Astra: Well, in the last couple months many teams disbanded but some new young teams showing good potential, at least in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, etc - a lot of new skilled players. I think one of the problems is that it is really hard to find sponsorship so people don't have enough motivation.
Yeah, sponsorship and money has always been a huge problem for E-Sports. So what about your passion for the game now, has it gotten worse for you?
So are you saying that you are going to leave the DotA community?
http://www.indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/rusia.gif Astra: Nah, I'll join some team, I guess, but it is summer now and I will go to the sea and when I come back I will have less time for DotA, but i will play for sure! As i said, I'm thinking about joining a Russian team so i will be able to go to some Russian LAN's.
Ok, so any last words or shout-outs you would like to give?

Would you like to make a short statement about the disbanding of http://www.indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/world.gif Apteka? Hint at other teams to recruit you? =P
http://www.indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/rusia.gif Azen: I think we didnt practice enough,we prefered to play idec instead of cws,no motivation etc. Now, about other teams. Well I'm searching for a team now, but if I won't get any suitable offer then I don't think I will continue playing DotA.
Oh, so you might leave the DotA scene?
What about the Russian national team?
Gluck with your future endeavours ^^
