DotA is a part of Warcraft III The Frozen Throne. Do you think DotA has any future in the esport with Starcraft II coming up?

Drayich: I don't think Starcraft II will kill DotA; and if I thought so I would be kinda crazy for playing it. To be honest there is no other game that can compare itself with DotA, so it's just another type of gaming. I think normal Wc3 will die.

Miracle: DotA is the only game of its kind and to kill DotA you would need a similar but improved game.

Being a teamgame and a rpg game DotA mixes up two genres to create a unique game. Do you think DotA could work as a stand-alone title?

Miracle: Yes, it's a perfect teamgame with a lot of action and tactic involved.

Lately the league map has changed from .48 to .52. Does the new playstyle fit your team more than the old one?

Miracle: Yes, it's a lot more action and teamfigths in the new version and since we want to fight a lot it suits us well.
The old version made the teams stuck with the same tactics and you could only see the same 15 heroes each game. In the old version you mostly saw boots of travel, dagger, guinsoo and necromicon, in the new version you can see some new items like orchid and vladmir and the items are more mixed on the heroes.

The Draft System has also slightly changed. Every team got now one ban more than in the old version. How do you think this affects the tactic in DotA?

Drayich: The decision to give another ban just made some heroes less used in my opinion. Heroes like Zeus or Warlock are extremely underused since you always can afford to ban him. I dont know how it effects tactics in the long run, I guess you need to learn how to counter less number of heroes.

Miracle: Now you can easier play your own game by banning the heroes that counters it, we're also able to see more different heroes each game since the best and most used heroes are getting banned.

SK dominated lately the scene. You managed to win  against them on the new map in dota league second place decider. Do you think the other teams need to adapt more to the new map or do you think SK will continue dominating the tournaments/leagues?

Drayich: SK is a really good team, regardless of version. Especially their LAN experience is really good. However online I think they are just a slight bit ahead right now, while on LAN I think they are clearly strongest.

Miracle: SK is really strong on the new map and there are only a few teams able to beat them, but I think it will be a lot harder for SK to dominate in the future.

Are you confident in winning the ESL Major Series II, where you won the Upper Bracket Final against Wolker Gaming?

Drayich: I dont even know what the opposite of confident is so...

Miracle: We always believe in victory and we'll definitly play to win.

There was a lot of trouble going on at dota-allstars forum between MYM, mouz and SK. Do you think it is necessary to comment on other top tier teams like that as a professional player?

Drayich: Haha, problems? mouz has no problems with the sk or mym players, and if someone got that feeling realise that most of us are close friends. And seeing SK getting beat by for example team DG in DM9 just makes us smile abit!

Okay im gonna ask you now some stuff about your team. How do you feel about your latest addition LevenT?

Drayich: Levent is one of the most experienced DotA players in the world, it's a great addition. He's also a nice guy and on top of that pretty handsome.

How do you feel about the other additions CAT and Kuro?

Drayich: CAT got something few dotaplayers in the world have. He has the ability to make a team feel good spirited. Kuroky on the other hand is a prolly one of the best players in the world as long as he can use the experience that the rest of the team has and not to take too rushy decisions. These addittions were a must for us as a team to stay competetive, not every player has what it takes to really give your everything to win, and I think these players do. I really hope so.

Miracle: Kuroky and CAT are really nice to play with and both suits the team well since they want to fight and fix a lot of kills.

Drayich and Miracle playing on Dreamhack

You are playing now for over half a year for mouz, how do you feel about the developement of the team?

Drayich: Some setbacks still with players deciding to leave or not managing to keep the competetive level high enough, but other from that ''d say we are growing to be one of the real top teams.

Miracle: We're getting better and better after the lineup problems, I think we'll soon be one of the best teams out there.

You got now a roster of eight players. Do you think there will be any problems within the team because of that big roster?

Drayich: A shepherd can have up to 60 sheeps if he has a good dog. I think I can handle eight guys with a decent CAT.

Miracle: No, the best players will play each game and all of us realise that.

What are your goals for the future?

Miracle: To be the best team and to go to many LAN events.

Drayich: My personal goals is to keep myself on a decent competetive level, but for mousesports I hope we can go to alot of events and play alot of good games online.

XeqtR was seen rarely lately. What's going on with him?

Drayich: XeqtR has stuff going on that are far more important then anything else. For that he needs time - for that he gets time.

How would you describe your role in the team?

Drayich: At home and at the DotA-Squad I'm acting like a father and I'm taking care of my 'children'.

Miracle: I do whatever the team needs me for.

Ok now some final questions. What's your favorite kind of food?

Miracle: Korv med bröd.

Drayich: Älgskav.

Who is your favorite DotA player?

Drayich: MaXaNDeR

Miracle: slahser
