lorenof on Conventus Stellarum in Dota 2: “This is most likely not our final roster yet.”
Conventus Stellarum midlaner Artem “lorenof” Melnik spoke about the team’s roster and playing style in an interview at PGL Wallachia Season 9.
On the team’s roster
I can say that this is most likely not our final roster yet. We just decided to play in this tournament. After TI, I talked to the guys I wanted to play with. We just put a team together and are slowly moving forward.
[You played with OmaR at The International. When did you decide you wanted to play with DM? How did you realize he was exactly the player you needed?] Yeah, I just chatted with him a bit during the tournament. He seemed like a laid-back guy who really understands the game, so I thought he was a pretty good offlaner. That’s why I wanted to play with him this season.
On whether it’s fun to put together your own team
I wouldn’t say it’s fun, but the process itself is interesting.
On the team’s style
I think our macro play is already figured out; we have a shared understanding of how we want to play on the map.
On whether he’s satisfied with the results at The International 2026
Maybe a top-3 finish would have been better, but overall, yeah, everything’s fine—I didn’t expect us to make it to the top 6.
On expectations for the tournament
I never have any expectations; I take things day by day, so I don’t expect anything.
