DM on Team Yandex: “I’ve already learned a lot on this team, even though it’s only been about two months.”

It’s great because the team is full of strong players and wonderful people. I’m happy to have this opportunity.

There’s more professionalism here: in communication, gameplay, and our approach to the game. I’ve already learned a lot on this team, even though it’s only been about two months. When you play Dota 2 with strong players, you grow every day, and that’s exactly what’s happening. We’re learning about new concepts and ideas, refining them, and that helps us get stronger.

It’s easier for me not to think about my opponents. I don’t care what nickname I’m up against—Yatoro or Nightfall. I’m playing against Terrorblade. It’s better to play against the heroes and not worry about who’s on the other side.

We haven’t played in tournaments like this yet, so it’s too early to talk about winning. Right now, we need to focus on our performance in the playoffs, and I’m focused on my own game. If that turns out to be enough—great.
