In an interview with Championat.com, Natus Vincere CEO Yevhen Zolotarov talks about the reasons the team failed in the TI8 open qualifiers, explaining why these results matter more than the media.
About TI8 . qualifying results
The fall of the horse was unexpected. None of the members expected this. If we’re talking about the first open qualifier, we lost the draft to ESPADA. Not to mention, the opponent also played quite well. They proved it in the closed qualifiers. And the loss against ALOHADANCE was really stressful. I mean, the boys play under pressure not to make mistakes, so their picks and tackles are really horrible, lack of confidence. We changed drafters. Vlad [Crystallize] was the pick in the second open qualifier. And when you change something too quickly, it shows a lack of confidence.
Talk about Dendi in the new lineup
Anyone reading Dendi’s post can understand that the possibility of Dendi staying is not high. This is not just a decision we make. This decision can also be made by him. Sometimes, we need to redo everything. For example, as with Zeus (CS:GO), he played for Gambit Esports and is now back in Na`Vi.
On the influence of media participation
Balance is always important. If we talk about participation in the media, it depends a lot on the results of the competition. Results always come first. You can take a look at Virtus.pro’s Dota roster. Besides Solo, the rest of the members are not good at making showbiz images. They have very few followers, and are rarely mentioned in the media in general…
Natus Vincere lost both of the open qualifiers at The International 2018. After the defeat, Yevhen Zolotarov said the roster would be shut down until the start of next season.
New plans for Na`Vi: Dota 2 roster is down until August
