Ask MYM.Maelk - on DotaPortal.com *Answered*

Update: Denmark Maelk has answered all the questions that people have asked him over at DotaPortal.com. The "interview" has been conducted in two tempi and below the snippet you can find the links..

Look for example what Maelk answers when asked about the pro-players influence on IceFrog's decisions:

Do massive clans such as MYM etc, ever influence Ice-Frog's decisions, or does he make decisions indepent of all the major clans? (i understand your play style and everyone's influences him.) Question 2b) Have you personally ever influenced ice-frog to change the game, and if so how?

Yes. From what I know some of the players in MYM has made an impact on his decisions. I can't say if he had already come up with the idea before we suggested it, as he is very clever, but as an example I am fairly sure that p0c created the Roshan-camp we know today.

Personally, I suggested and convinced Icefrog of the Dagger we know today. The nerf that everyone has been complaining about. It was a long process, though, with a thorough conversation with tonnes of input from both of us finally reaching an agreement to what would work

Do you think a magnus with blink/vlad and a AM with butter etc would be a good ganking combo as they can both blink magnus stun, magnus boost am damage with skill, and both get lifesteal?

I suppose. Not exactly a cookie-cutter gank combo and they would have to wait for Reverse Polarity every time. There are tonnes of fictive gank-squads better than this, though. Imagine Lina/Lion?

You can find the two threads here:

Over at DotaPortal.com, they have launched a brand new interview-series, that will take you under the skin on the professional DotA-players in the world.

Starting with the teamleader from MYM.DotA, Denmark Maelk, the users at DotaPortal.com will each week be able to post their questions for notable members of the DotA-community. You will be able to post questions to Maelk until saturday this week, where they will gather the most interesting ones and let Maelk answer them.

The only thing you have to do to take part in the Q&A-session is to sign up at DotaPortal.com and post your question here.

srs.fatalerror is the French player who plays for Serious Gaming. He used to be known also as D4.Fatalerror/rB.Fatalerror. The one organizing it over at DP is Fatal Error from Canada, who is the Head Admin of Dota Portal.

Best ganker: MaNia-
Best semi-carry: Someone from MYM.

Are you kidding me? Vigoss is by far the best ganker in the world. And about semi-carry, I really don't know what it means but it's for sure not someone from MYM who's the best.

Shameless self promotion

STFU and SHOP!

All you can shop, right in there. MYM shirts, NNScript goodies, and other stuff the ESNation network has to offer. If you can't find it there, we don't sell it! Are you ready to STFU?
It has been confirmed from DTS-Cup 2009 that some of the top teams, such as fnatic, SK-Gaming, ALTERNATE and mousesports, won't participate in the tournament....
