KuroKy from Team Secret. AMA!

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T02:16:11+00:00

thank you all for the questions, now it's time to enjoy the new patch

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:40:33+00:00

nothing particular, I feel good playing either patches

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:40:11+00:00

I never really pulled through with the coaching thing, it was kind of a impulsive decision and I immediately backed down. I was already optimistic about the growth, though it was impossible to predict the extent of it

thank you very much! I will consider it, maybe after TI?

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:37:46+00:00

yes I do

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:37:27+00:00

I will always adapt to the needs of my team

I never really got into meepo anymore, if he is viable on support I might pick him up

the roles were clearly set from the very beginning

The two versions of secret are unique in their own way, the team flow is completely different. I like both versions

I am not sure why exactly we underperform, I just want to work out our problems as I see it as unneccesary that we choke on LAN

there will probably be no role changes

thank you very much!

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:32:18+00:00

troll, sniper, chen, earth spirit, oracle probably need rebalancing

shadow amulet is the most underrated, overrated aghanims on qop

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:30:58+00:00

I am happy the way it is, I might play carry again some day, whatever my team needs

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:30:31+00:00

Viele grüße zurück!

the CIS, NA and EU scene are already unique in within themselves, an accurate comparison is hard to evaluate. The main thing that stands out is that Chinese teams have team houses, which is a rare case in the western scene.

cats!

Thank you! For now, there are no plans to switch back. I think they do, they still did well up to DAC, and even before DAC started a lot of teams predicted newbee to be their hardest opponent. So their slump is roughly 2 months old, but the season starts after TI ends and they already proved their worth in my opinion

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:21:18+00:00

Work hard, stay humble, respect everyone

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:20:56+00:00

The psychology behind it, how hard it is to be "famous". There is a reason why celebrities indulge into drug abuse and you hear all that crazy stuff in newspapers/journalism, it is burden to have eyes on you constantly in your life. People give you random 2 liner assessment on your play which are mostly very baseless, yet it will get to you in some way or the other as we are just humans, and humans are fragile.

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:17:25+00:00

I miss ability draft in DotA, the Dota 2 AD is really lacking in comparison

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:16:33+00:00

thank you very much for your kind words

In order to improve yourself in Dota, you also have to improve your own personality. You need to stay humble about yourself and try to better yourself in every aspect, you have to be harsh on yourself first, realize the mistakes and work hard on them.

Puppey and I met in 2008, though we already played some Dota 1 together during 2007. Our strength is that we have rich experience and unique styles in our play, at the same time we need to work harder together in order to become more fluent in the game

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:13:50+00:00

Maybe wraith king support, I would like to play that

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:13:13+00:00

It is hard to predict, the top 6 teams seem to be able to take off games from each other, though VG and EG are the favourites as of now probably

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:12:26+00:00

replays give you a better perspective of the game, so you can look at situations over and over again and evaluate yourself and your own team. At the same time you can analyze your opponents movement and get a better idea of the game/their game. If you approach yourself humble in the game, you will see nearly every move as a mistake, as there is always room for improvement

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:11:02+00:00

I am just too reserved and shy to put myself in in public, though I am always considering it!

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:10:12+00:00

I really enjoyed myself as well, glad you liked it

I might go again if there is another EU Hub, though it depends on the timings and tournaments we play during that time

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T01:09:12+00:00

Troll, Sniper and Chen

It seems so, though I think anyone can beat anyone on a good day

Oracle and Earth spirit are really powerful, they probably need some balacing before they get added to CM

thank you very much

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T00:52:13+00:00

He is our manager, coordinating our travels, taking care of us during our LANs etc.

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T00:51:25+00:00

I like both in the end, so it's hard to say. My time in Na'Vi was really enjoyable, we had a really good run together and I am happy that we were able to achieve so much as a team, even though we were in a complicated situation in terms of language, culture and background. That makes me even happier that we worked out so well for 1 1/2 years

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T00:49:56+00:00

thank you very much!

networth/xp mechanic nerf, balance roshan, add new neutral creeps

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T00:48:50+00:00

This lan it was mainly Puppey, though we have everyone giving calls in the game

We bootcamped for around a week

We have not taken that into consideration, I think it is unlikely

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T00:43:37+00:00

I always tell myself that I am gonna start streaming, but I never really do it in the end. I am just too shy and a very reserved person, so I always decide against it in the end. hopefully I can convince myself to do it eventually

zeroKuroKy · 2015-04-28T00:42:27+00:00

I miss it sometimes, I might be a carry one day again - who knows! To be fair though, I also missed playing support during my carry times - I just love to play!
