myMYM managed to catch up with Papaxiong to find out more regarding AEON.DotA's lineup changes announced yesterday.
Malaysia Papaxiong has long been regarded as one of Malaysia's stellar talents in the global DotA scene, with evidence of his success eclipsed at ESWC 2008. A key player and natural leader in the original Malaysia Kingsurf team, it looks like he might be going back to the team which made him famous afterall.
Read more about the whole issue where AEON changes players in our previous news post.
In this exclusive interview conducted by myMYM, we ask Papaxiong questions about his unprecedented departure from Singapore AEON.DotA, most importantly clarifying the rampant rumors linking him back to his ex-team, Kingsurf.
Since your departure from AEON.DotA was publicised widely, speculation about why you left has intensified. Can you help us clear the rumors?
I left because Ice left. There was no internal problems, I followed Ice along because he wanted to leave.
How about Iceiceice? Why did he leave at this point of time? Was it because of the team's poor performance at ESTC?
He wants to concentrate on studying. At 19 years old he is still doing his O'levels, thus after ESTC he did not have the motivation to continue playing. In fact he has already been failing his exams for 12 years. It has nothing to do with ESTC, as he already told me before ESTC that he wanted to leave the team.
Describe your tenure at AEON.DotA, how was your experience at your ex-team?
Hyhy and ToFu treats me very well, they wish I listen more to them. I tend not to listen to them most of the time, however they do not blame me in any way. I must change this habit, at the same time I must add that playing with them is a very happy and thrilling experience.
Who is your favourite player in the team and why?
My favourite player in the team is of course Iceiceice. Although his team does not always get first, his knowledge of DotA is number one, Ice is definitely number one.
Recent rumours have linked you back to Kingsurf, where you were spotted scrimming with them recently. Will you play with them or any other teams for the upcoming SMM or other competitions?
I am still unsure if I will play SMM, maybe at the moment I will find a team or go down with some friends to laugh at those who lose.
What are the possible teams that you will consider joining then?
I will form a team with Ice or join SMM with Kingsurf. Will prefer either of these two options.
What about the fate of your teammate Iceiceice? We heard that he might find a team to play "for fun" at SMM.
Yeah, I will definitely be interested to join Ice, we can think of tactics to win together. If he wants to go for fun then we will go for fun.
Is there anyone specifically that you would like to thank at this point of time?
Bouncy, he is one of my best teammates as well as friends in the DotA world. Although he might not view me in the same light as I view him, I would still like to take this opportunity to thank him as I have not had the chance to do so for a very long time.
