Inc eXcello Speaks to Spotgamers!

The Malaysian Dota team, INC-Excello was our nation's highest finisher at the recently concluded MYM tournament in Malacca. Here we have a chat with them to ask them about their tournament, their most memorable matches and whether they would view this year as a success or not. Special thanks to our Dota correspondent, Underminer for helping out in this interview. Enjoy the interview guys.


1. Malaysian teams in general performed admirably, knocking out the European powerhouse MYM at the group stages but came up short in preventing a top-3 finish by the Chinese. How you rate our nation's overall performance and what do you think we, as a community can do to improve the scene further?

Everyone tried their best in preventing China top 3 placing. At least we gave a good fight to the chinese! As for improving the scene, maybe we can train harder or support our own Malaysia team more? :D



2. Cybertime, our nations's Asian Dota Championships III representative under-performed considering the hype they got pre-tournament. What do you think went wrong for them?

I guess their morale to fight went wrong after they lost the remaining group matches (against Quas Gaming). And worst strike to them, lost to one of their former teammates, Winter.


3. How do you reflect upon your SMM tournament? Which are the games most memorable?

Although my team just managed to get 4th, we are kinda satisfied with the position as we were able to stop China from dominating the top 4 placing. Games against Mineski(I can say is a good comeback from iNc.Excello! Go watch it if you haven't :D) and CH!(Sorry to CH, for the incident that happened)


4. What do you think of the Champion for this year FTD? Are they worthy champions? If so, what are the qualities we can learn from them based upon your experiences facing them?

Whoever managed to become the champion, they made themselves worthy for that. As for qualities, what about farm, farm and farm? I more prefer how we play the game. Gank & kill. Dont kill the "art of gank"!


5. Do you think competing with the best players in the world in Malaysia is a good way to promote ESports and Dota?

Yes of cause it is a good way to promote. Our own people manage to get a chance to improve or gain experience!

6. How do you reflect upon the year 2009? A success or failure?

A success? We almost managed to get top 3 placing at least in every tournament. Of cos we will try to improve on it in 2010!


7. Any advice you'd like to give to dota teams who wish to play competitively?

A good team chemistry is important for a team to success. Solve problems with a better way and dont end up in arguing and start ditching your teammate! Gogo Malaysia.DotA for 2010!
