kpii: “I’d say skiter is a lot like Nightfall.”
Aurora Gaming coach Damien “kpii” Chok spoke in an interview at BLAST Slam VIII about changing his approach to drafts following the departure of the team’s first-position player.
On whether he had to change his approach to drafts after the carry player was replaced
Not really. I just changed the heroes I pick a little bit. Other than that, everything’s pretty much the same.
On whether the team’s drafts were affected only by the change in the first-position player
Yes, I’d say skiter is very similar to Nightfall in many ways, including the heroes he plays. So for us, it wasn’t a huge change. I guess what’s changed the most is the atmosphere and stuff like that, because Nightfall was a bit more outspoken. I think that’s probably the biggest change.
About Nightfall compared to skiter
He tries really hard. He talks a lot about Dota 2 and is very outspoken both during and outside of games. I think that’s the biggest change.
