Noticed on leaving Team Yandex’s Dota 2 roster: “It wasn’t exactly a mutual decision.”

Honestly, we were preparing for something completely different. In the first game, they picked Dark Seer. We thought they might do something like that, but we didn’t expect it. After all, they had different picks. In the second game, the draft was more standard—exactly what we had expected.

I think both we and they had good drafts in the second game; it’s just that, in that situation, I think we should have won. Then again, we lost—okay. And the third game—I don’t know, we kind of expected everything they picked. The only thing was that Jakiro was an unexpected pick—that was the first one—and PL—we kind of expected that, but it seemed tough for us on PL.

It wasn’t exactly a mutual decision. I was told that the guys had gelled well with DM, and they felt that was for the best.

[Solo: “So, was this kind of a little bit of revenge for you against the team?”]

Not exactly revenge.

[Solo: “Well, it’s nice to beat your ex.”]

Obviously, it’s nice, but I’m on good terms with all the guys. Because this is my first season, and it started with them.
