In this exclusive interview conducted by myMYM, we ask Papaxiong questions about his unprecedented departure from AEON.DotA, most importantly clarifying the rampant rumors linking him back to his ex-team, Kingsurf.
Sinceyour departure from AEON.DotA was publicised widely, speculation aboutwhy you left has intensified. Can you help us clear the rumors?
I left because Ice left. There was no internal problems, I followed Ice along because he wanted to leave.
How about Iceiceice? Why did he leave at this point of time? Was it because of the team's poor performance at ESTC?
Hewants to concentrate on studying. At 19 years old he is still doing hisO'levels, thus after ESTC he did not have the motivation to continueplaying. In fact he has already been failing his exams for 12 years. Ithas nothing to do with ESTC, as he already told me before ESTC that hewanted to leave the team.
Describe your tenure at AEON.DotA, how was your experience at your ex-team?
Hyhyand ToFu treats me very well, they wish I listen more to them. I tendnot to listen to them most of the time, however they do not blame me inany way. I must change this habit, at the same time I must addthat playing with them is a very happy and thrilling experience.
Who is your favourite player in the team and why?
Myfavourite player in the team is of course Iceiceice. Although his teamdoes not always get first, his knowledge of DotA is number one, Ice isdefinitely number one.
Recent rumours have linked youback to Kingsurf, where you were spotted scrimming with them recently.Will you play with them or any other teams for the upcoming SMM orother competitions?
I am still unsure if I will play SMM,maybe at the moment I will find a team or go down with some friends tolaugh at those who lose.
What are the possible teams that you will consider joining then?
I will form a team with Ice or join SMM with Kingsurf. Will prefer either of these two options.
What about the fate of your teammate Iceiceice? We heard that he might find a team to play "for fun" at SMM.
Yeah,I will definitely be interested to join Ice, we can think of tactics towin together. If he wants to go for fun then we will go for fun.
Is there anyone specifically that you would like to thank at this point of time?
Bouncy,he is one of my best teammates as well as friends in the DotA world.Although he might not view me in the same light as I view him, I wouldstill like to take this opportunity to thank him as I have not had thechance to do so for a very long time.
