You are known to be one of the best Crixalis player in DotA. Can you give us information about this hero which is considered as a core support. In a few words, how would you describe this hero?
MaNia-: Just a good hero to gang with and it has a lot of escape possibilities too, combined with a really nice aoe ulti. Perfect hero.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of this hero?
MaNia-: Advantages are all its skills and disadvantages is if people get really gay and mass dust or sentry. Also hate playing against Zeus/Silencer since it can make you **** up your ulti so bad. You're gonna look like tard standing in woods ulti'ing trees while ur team getting raped.

What's the best strategy to adopt In term of moves with Crixalis in early/middle and end game? (Gank, farm, warding )
MaNia-: Hmm early I like to move a lot around on the map and gang, but it has gotten harder, so I just try farm Dagger as fast as possible and try help allies by buying tp so you basically just countergang or tp gang.

What kind of heroes would fit the best with Crixalis?
MaNia-: In terms of lane ally you just need a stunner or some sort of ranged hero like pugna. Tank heroes are also good combined with Sand King, since it allows you to get good ultimates off, if you have vision of the battle and the others focus ur tank smiles*.

What is the worse lane for Crixalis? Against which heroes does he do badly?
MaNia-: No real heroes I hate laning against. He can barely face any.

What is the best items build you can do with this hero? Does he change depending on the heroes you face?
MaNia-: Really depends how much farm you are allowed to take from your carries. But if I'm really horny after creeps, I go for Radiance/AC/Shiva/Dagger/BoT/Heart.

What is your skill build?
MaNia-: Since Sandstorm is blessed with a 10 sec cd on lvl 4 in the newer versions, I just skill stun full and Sandstorm after full. After that I often just go stats, so you can tank more and get a bigger mana pool.

Let's say Kuroky is in your lane. Would you play differently than if it was against an unknown player?
MaNia-: Doesn't matter who you are laning against, I barely notice who I'm laning against when I'm playing, I just try doing my best every game.

Any shoutouts?
MaNia-: Shoutout to the awesome MYM staff and our sponsors PUMA, CHIEFTEC, and RAZER. Also thanks to all our loyal fans! Heard some of you are really aggressive especially towards Ducky, and I can just say gogo harass him more, he loves it! (He told me himself)
