Andreas 'Donald-Duck' Søgaard er blevet interviewed af Forget Gaming, hvor forskellige emner såsom skolen, dagligdagen, DotA og sidst men ikke mindst eSporten er de omtalte emner. Donald-Duck spiller til dagligt for Ducky's Dream Team, som har mange talenter på holdet og dette ses også i deres seneste præstationer hvor de kommer ud med gode resultater. Forneden er et udsnit af interviewet med Ducky: How does a regular day unfold for you ? Well it happens some old friends come across here in little lonely Ringkøbing, and when they do im of course seeing them having few beers and talk about old days :D if you can call it that. Else my everyday atm is kinda shitty most of time I use in front of the pc watching movies, playing dota, writing msn or checking if anything new is going on with my mates on facebook. If I can get my self out the door im playing a litle indoor soccer, and it happens once in a while I go with my mom to hear job, she teaches kids at school, but I kinda get exhausted playing around with them and I have to get up way to early to go there :D. Let's switch to DotA now. How did you come in contact with this e-sport ? Do you regret your decision to start playing on a competitive level ? After moving away from safe home, and moms cooking I started to idle a lot of war 3 mostly tower defence. But a mate of mine was rly into dota so I had to play, its the same guy i played age of empire with, so ofcourse i had to get better then him. For the competive part it sorta just came with time, I got better the players around me got better, people started to aim higher. I made a good friend in misery back when i was leading a team. And ever since that we kinda been playing together. If i regret playing on competive level? sure I do sometime, I kinda lost contact to some friends I had cause I choose to play dota instead of going with them, but to blame it on the game would just be sad, in the end its me beeing to lazy. And computer sometimes make you fall into a dark hole, getting up late not getting much out of the day. On the other side dota brought me nice moments aswell. Im happy with the people i play with and I had some nice exp as well. Læs det fulde interview her!

Farm4Fame 2.4 finale - DDT vs TS! Ganked.dk

I aften spilles Farm4Fame 2.4 delturneringens finalen mellem Ducky's Dream Team og The Shit! klokken 20.15. Der er ikke så lang tid igen til Farm4Fame 2.4 delturnerings finale kampen skal spilles mellem Ducky's Dream Team og The Shiet!. Det bliver i aften klokken 20.15 og udfaldet kan have en betydelig indflydelse for hver af udfordrerne. Hvis DDT vinder får de ni points og derved kan de bedre sikre sig en direkte adgang til playoffs, da top to skal findes. For TS! vedkommende vil det betyde en bedre placering og seks points hvilket gør, at de til en eventuel nedrykning kæmper i top otte. Forneden er nogle pregame udtalelser: Kim "Drayich" Larsson fra The Shit!: Basicly, I think DDT is the best team there is from europe now. We`ve scrimmed some versus them and got stomped both once and twice. The combination of their good players with now also tactical strenghts from beeing away in china and getting that experience I expect a really really rough game. We need good picks and top spirit to beat them, and thats exactly what i think we are aiming for. Jon "13abyKnight" Andersen fra The Shit!: Basicly, I think DDT is the best team there is from europe now. We`ve scrimmed some versus them and got stomped both once and twice. The combination of their good players with now also tactical strenghts from beeing away in china and getting that experience I expect a really really rough game. We need good picks and top spirit to beat them, and thats exactly what i think we are aiming for. Andreas 'Ducky' Søgaard fra Ducky's Dream Team: We hope we will get good games against TS! in the F4F final and to come out as the champions of F4F 2.4 so we are equal in points with mym and niravana.int. Personally I`m looking forward to play against Smiske and Bubbiknight who were old team-mates of mine. Hope you all are looking forward to follow us to the championship! Peace out! Rasmus 'MiSeRy-' Filipsen fra Ducky's Dream Team: We hope we will get good games against TS! in the F4F final and to come out as the champions of F4F 2.4 so we are equal in points with mym and niravana.int. Personally I`m looking forward to play against Smiske and Bubbiknight who were old team-mates of mine. Hope you all are looking forward to follow us to the championship! Peace out! Til denne begivenhed vil Simon 'InvalidCola' Millard og TobiWanKenobi selvfølgelig shoutcaste, hvilket også er noget at se frem til! Udover InvalidCola's video stream vil der selvfølgelig også som altid være stream via GarenaTV og WaaagTV. InvalidCola - Lyd stream | Video stream TobiWanKenobi - Lyd stream

Første MTS udgave med MYM.DotA Ganked.dk

Fra tid til anden udføre multi gaming organisationen myMYM nogle MTS (Meet The Stars) sessioner hvor deres talenter bliver stillet op og communitiet får lov til at stille spørgsmål. I denne første udgave af MTS, er DotA holdet blevet stillet nogle spørgsmål som du kan læse forneden. Der er nogle meget interessante spørgsmål som du sikkert også har haft i tankerne, se om du har fået svar på dem! 1. To Maelk, How has the departure of KuroKy from the team affected you? And what are your thoughts on his new team's success - blight.int? It somewhat forced me to make a return, although I wasn't really motivated for it by the time it happened. That has changed the past weeks though, and I'm more than ready now. I think their success is best explained through the huge individual talent that each of their players possesses. The Americans are some of the best players in the scene today while Puppey displays brilliance in both play and picking. 2. To Maelk, An update on your views regarding the newly opened DotA-Pride Asia. Any plans to scrim with asian players such as Hy-hy for instance? I haven't planned for it - I don't even play the DotA Pride in Europe. 3. For MYM: Contrary to Dreamhack, the ESWC seems to care DotA and the prizepool is better than expected, do you think it can influence the future of DotA, especially in Europe? Yes, the revival of the ESWC is definitely one of the biggest boosts to the motivation of the top-players. Hopefully they'll pay out this time around! 4. Dear Pusher, Did MYM.dota train a lot in the last 1-2 months? I wish every member best of luck and I hope you can return to the top dota clans. We didn't train alot the last months because of december and new years everyone wanted to re-engerize and after that passed we kinda just didn't find each other for no particular reasons me, we all just sorta inhoused here and there due to various reasons since we were hardly never 5 on at the same time. 5. To MYM: Understandably, some DotA teams are concerned more with other things in life than spending hours perfecting skill. They play to be with friends in some degree of competition. What about MYM? Is there still a desire to be the best? It's a bit cliche to say you do, but I mean *really*. We have our ups and downs. The past months we haven't really been motivated to be the best or even trying our hardest to win a simple game. We focused more on just relaxing with pubs and enjoying ourselves. Lately we have all started to regain our motivation, and with the recent changes in the team, I'm sure we'll strive hard to accomplish some tournament wins again. Of course we desire to be the best, why else would we play? 6. Dear Maelk, How do you think Dota will grow in contender with other e-sports title such as the upcoming Starcraft 2? Will Dota continue to grow bigger in e-sports or it simply had meet it's dead end? I don't think SC2 will necessarily have any impact whatsoever on DotA. Icefrog is creating a stand-alone version of DotA with Valve as its publisher. Its two different genres and I can't imagine either will have an impact on each other. 7. Dear Maelk, I would like to ask if you think Virtus Pro was the best team in the history of DotA? Yes, I haven't seen anything remotely close to their dominance. The fact that only one team could even challenge them the least bit, and still end up shorthanded in the long run, proves that they were indeed a powerhouse of their time and unparalleled to date. In Europe at least. 8. Dear MaNia-, There are some doubts about MYM's dominance in the DotA scene ever since the defeat at last year's SMM. Do you think that KuroKy leaving the team has left a small gap (a motivator and a consistent player) that needs to be filled for the team to return back to its winning ways? Also, were you entirely happy about the way the team conducted (played/heroes picked) itself in the games played at SMM? I do think that kuro leaving the team did leave a big hole in our team since he had taken over the captain role and had us playing a style of play which either pays off majorly or backfires horribly. As for the way we did in SMM I was actually pretty happy with our picks, I just think that it didn't pan out due to miscommunication. 9. Dear MYM, Is motivation lacking? If so what needs to be done in order to bring back the motivation? It was, and order has been restored with the renewal of the team. 10. Dear Maelk, How many hours per day on average would you say you spend on dota? Is it a full time thing to be a professional dota player, or do you have other jobs? Are the earnings from dota alone enough to support you? It varies a lot. The past months I have spend no more than 8 hours weekly, and that's either on the same day or over the course of two or three days. It isn't a fulltime thing and to be perfectly honest: The earnings in DotA can't even put butter on my bread. Really active players, without anything better to do, might spend up to 10-12 hours a day. But I don't have that many hours in my day. It isn't really rewarding either.
