DL Cup Presents: I Got Game!

Last but not least, we present you the fourth team of the Dota-League Cup semifinals: I Got Game(IGG)! After they disbanded some time ago, we talked with Broesly about their current situation!

1. The Rebirth

We recently had to hear that the major part of IGG left the team. Can you tell us some more details about the disbandment?

Broesly: Well I observed some lack of motivation in the last month before the team and I parted ways. After losing the EDC AT game to nordic.e-sports the team decided that DotA is not a game they want to play competitively and I understood. You can`t force someone to play if they don`t have enough passion anymore.I am very sad to see the team leave, I had real high hopes for them.

Are you now planning to gather new players for IGG?

Broesly: I was already building a team before IGG disbanded but not to replace them, our plans at IGG was to have two competitive teams playing in Europe. IGG.int is not yet ready, we are finishing our roster this month. The new team will have big shoes to fill, but I have the utmoast confidence in them. IGG is looking for a main team right now. Feel free to contact me if you think you got game!

Which players will finish the Dota-League Cup?

The old IGG players decided to finish what they started, this and the final (if they make it) will be their last games wearing the IGG tag. Players are Elf[c], legendary, Warning, Shef, Reborn.

What are your expectations with this new, fresh team for 2010? Did you sign up for our Pick-League?

Broesly: Of course we did, there is no competition that we want to miss, playing againts high skilled teams gives us the experience we need to persevere. We also want to have our main team back again, hopefully some oportunities to be back in the top 15 in Europe.

2. Let`s get some more personal

If you compare the old IGG with the new IGG, how do they differ concerning skill and atmosphere?

Broesly: The old IGG were very skilled individually but lacked communication in game. They were all friends in real life most of them have known each other for years. As the name states, IGG.int is a multinational and multicultural team, players coming from Serbia, Hungary, Romania and Croatia. They are very young and not as skilled as the veterans at the old IGG, but their motivation and will make up for it.

DL: How do you guys know each other? Have you met in real life or online? (the new team)

Broesly: I knew Maska and HariboH from back in the days when we used to play pubs together. I remained at the pub level while they sought to be more professional in this e-sport. HariboH is my personal protege, he is very skilled for a 14 year old.

3. Now let`s talk a bit about Dota in general and the competitive scene

Recently Icefrog changed Visage and Doom. What do you think of those remakes considering competitive dota?

Broesly: Doom is a very interesting hero to play now, he has many more skills now that he can "devour" skills too. I`m very curious if he`ll be used in the competitive scene too. I think Visage is an asian hero now, with all the micro you need for him, it`s hard to control him/items/gargoyles. I dont see him being used competitively too.

What do you think about the Dota clones, such as League of Legends or Heroes of Newerth. Will they be a real problem for the Dota scene?

Broesly: I never tried playing LoL but the few times I did play HoN I was annoyed by the terrain they use in it. I dont think it has enough dept. Competition is never a bad thing!

Icefrog is currently working on a `new DotA` together with Valve. What are your expectations on this project?

Broesly: I have a lot of confidence in IceFrog, he has been updating the map for the last few years and has done a wonderful job with it. The standalone DotA will be a success if it has the IceFrog stamp on it.

4. Let`s come to Dota-League and especially to the Dota-League Cup

How did you enjoy our very first edition of the Dota-League Cup?

Broesly: There have been a few complications, especially with the teams wanting to play on Bnet but all in all it was a great experience for us all. We have met some exciting people trough this tournament and improved ourselves by playing againts them.

What where your expectations, when you signed up for this event? Did you think that you can make it that far?

Broesly: Our objectives from the start was to win it, funny thing is our hardest games were againts the teams we underestimated. In the end I`m glad it`s us in the semifinal.

How do you like the other stuff presented by Dota-Leauge, such as Pick League, Farm4Fame, news coverage and of course the SIG/VIP?

Broesly: I never played SIG/VIP, i prefer league games and pubs. Pick-League is a very important compeititon to european DotA, I always think of it as Premier League from England and F4F has been disapointing for me this last season due to to many drop-outs and team-changes. DotA lacks maturity and organization.

5. And where is the fun?

Imagine, you and your clan would rule a country. Who would be in which position? (president, foreign minister and so on)

Broesly: legendary would be the president, he has a commanding presence everywhere. Elf[c] would be the Health and Sports minister as he`s always working out and he`s really BUFF!. Warning is the perfect candidate for international relations, he always knows how to communicate his thoughts. Shef would be treasurer as he`s always farming ingame and Reborn is our secretary of defence as he`s always the first to defend a tower. I am the spokesperson for the country!

Now, at last, I give you 2 options, and you have to choose one of them. React quick!

Gank or Farm: Gank
Microsoft or Apple: Apple
American Football or `real` football: SOCCER
Star Wars or Star Trek: "wards"
Facebook or Myspace: Hi5
Cofee or tea: coffee
Brunettes or blondes: brunettes
Ski or Snowboard: ski

I really want to say `thank you` for this interview. Now you have the last words for greetings and shoutouts.

Broesly: Shoutout for the old team, Elf, legendary, War, Shef, Reb, I`ll miss you guys. Also, shoutouts to the person who helped us create this team, SirNeo and Rannek ruler of romanian pubs!
