Improbity: Hi. I am Improbity. First let's have a complete self-introduction.
7L^aNgel_LovEr: I'm aNgel_LovEr from 7L, used to be DolPhIn in CT.
Improbity: 7L is the first team that contacted Rush3D when they came to China. Why can't EH be contacted? And that you guys can easily scrim?
7L^aNgel_LovEr: We were lucky. A player who played in OB Rush3D knew our captain (longdd). They were excited to play against us and we just kept scrimming.
Improbity: Sure! Every night it's 10 guys fighting each other. How do you feel before your first match?
7L^aNgel_LovEr: We were excited of course. We most wanted to kill vigoss.
Improbity: So, you guys really had a high degree of hatred for vigoss - -#. What do you think of Rush3D's tactics?
7L^aNgel_LovEr: They have a clear strategy, that is pushing tower on 3 lanes to build up gold advantage. We adjusted in the past 2 days.
Improbity: I remember watching your first match. At the start you guys were dramatically first-blooded and died twice. Were you guys afraid at that time?
7L^aNgel_LovEr: We weren't. But we told off the two of them a little because the deaths shouldn't have happened. We had a lot of matches under our belt so we were able to keep composed. We wouldn't let that affect us.
Improbity: On the first day of matches you seemed a bit tense, but afterwards you seem more relaxed when you played. Did you discuss Rush3D's tactics in private?
7L^aNgel_LovEr: Of course we did. We used to be focused on teamwork and after we played them we start focusing on pushing and ganking.
Improbity: What do you think of Rush3D's individual skill and teamwork?
7L^aNgel_LovEr: In terms of individual skill, I think vigoss is very good, but ve!n is a bit worse. In terms of teamwork I think they are OK. They time their combos well, they were always clear on what to do at that time, and their ganks were great.
Improbity: From these few days of matches, what do you think is the difference between Chinese Dota and Europe/NA Dota? What are the strengths of each?
7L^aNgel_LovEr: The Europe/NA style is to try and push towers to maintain a gold advantage over the opponents. Their support in teamfights is quick and well-positioned. Chinese players like to ambush and farm. The support in teamfights isn't as quick compared to foreign teams.
Improbity: You guys changed in response to this, by focusing more on pushing towers to build up gold advantage. In the matches you played I've seen a few different comebacks. What is the main reason for this?
7L^aNgel_LovEr: I don't think those are combacks. They got the towers quickly but didn't build up a big gold advantage. If they did I think it's impossible to comback.
Improbity: In at least 7 out of 10 games you will solo against pgg. What is it like, does he give you a lot of pressure?
7L^aNgel_LovEr: Not really. I felt I gave him more pressure. But they like to gank mid to help him.
Improbity: You were great these last few days. Even foreign forumers say that your clockwerk is godlike. Do you have any tricks to teach us? To be honest do you mh?
7L^aNgel_LovEr: Haha, mh is already programmed in my brain. I can tell you how I build him. Rocket-battery-battery-cogs-battery-hookshot-battery, then max cogs and rocket and get hookshot whenever possible. Cogs is a disable that can really help your killing efficiency. Be more agressive and get closer to opponent when using cogs. Rocket is a great skill to scout in early game.
Improbity: Briefly evaluate players in Rush3D and your teammates.
7L^aNgel_LovEr: Um, from my team dgc needs to improve. He can't play a lot of heroes so we have to look after him when we pick. We can't just play whatever lineup we like. For them it's ve!n, he's a bit worse than the others.
Improbity: That's it. Anything to say to the readers?
7L^aNgel_LovEr: Yes. I hope they would keep supporting me and I will give them great replays to watch!
Improbity: Thanks for telling us so much. That concludes the interview. Lastly I wish you'll be perma-stunned by Roshan to death...
7L^aNgel_LovEr: You're evil.
