The new Kings have been asked

ImageYesterday, the DotA community was astonished and the news was spreading like wildfire that Ks.int and mouz had merged.



Right after Dreamhack, mousesports and their DotA players decided to cut their ties. Mouz also decided to back out of the DotA scene and will no longer support a team.

Kingsurf, who recently had to struggle with an incomplete roster and inactivity of some of the remaining members, took the chance to invite the homeless ex-mice. At the same time, Vigoss had been asked to join Ks.int. He left DTS.chatrix a short time ago after they failed to win ASUS autumn this year.

Due to HoroN's inactivity he has been dropped from the team as well as Azen. The current lineup of Ks.int includes eight players, but the manager Ks.Eryc already announced that this number will be shortened in the future.

Ks.Eryc caught up with the new additions; KuroKy, LevenT, Miracle- and Twistd to ask them about the happenings:

"Kingsurf: Give us a short introduction of yourself please.

KuroKy: hi im kuro and i play dota for 4 years!
LevenT: HI im Levent Isyapar, 21 years old and i play DOTA!
Miracle-: I'm Jesper Nyhlén from southern Sweden
Twistd: Hey im known as "Twistd" online, as Björn to my friends. Ive played dota for ~2 years and the last year competitive with mouz.


Kingsurf: What's your feeling of playing under Ks.int's tag?

KuroKy: Its a great feeling to play under a strong tag and dedicated sponsor for dota players
LevenT: After having a talk with both my mates and the manager of Ks, I feel like having maximum support for our team!
Miracle-: I feel very excited to play under a new tag and I will do my best to help Ks.int
Twistd: I dont know for sure, i think it will be fine and its pretty cool to share tag with players like hyhy and yamateh!


Kingsurf: How do you know about Kingsurf gaming?

KuroKy: All i know is that ks has a very strong asian team
LevenT: I know them from replays and their amazing teamplay lol
Miracle-: I have both seen and played against ks.dota and I really admire their playstyle and individual skill.
Twistd: I guess I did my homework bad, because I don't know much about the organisation behind it. I know (by name, not in person) all of the players and the history/achivements of the team though.


Kingsurf: After the asorbing of 4 mouz players, and with the return of vigoss to Ks.int,the team seems like a merge of Virtus.Pro + Mouz.dota. What is your expectation of 5 STAR team?

KuroKy: Hmm, if everything works out i expect us to be strong, so i can even fulfil my dream - winning an asian lan! :D
LevenT: My expactions will be very high since we have one of the best leader and players in dota.
Miracle-: I always aim for the top and I do believe we have the players and experience needed to make it
Twistd: Well since i had to eat my words and get +20 msg/day about how much we sucked at dreamhack i wont say that we will stomp everything this time. If the chemistry and spirit will be good i think it will be one of the top3 teams in the world. Too high individual skill to fail.


Kingsurf: What's your opinion of 5.67? How the new Ks.int can bring out the best of this version and show the world the "FANTASTIC" game play?

KuroKy: I think 6.57 has too many flaws, alot more than 48 and 52 used to have.. all this spectre visage sa shit pisses me off, i rly dont get why icefrog just doesnt remove spectre, obviously she breaks any game when she was born.. other than that 6.57 is on the right way, alot better than 52 and 48 - if u take out the imbas - .. we try to show some entertaining dota for sure!
LevenT: I believe we will bring very agressive dota for the fans and viewers.
Miracle-: 6.57 is a very nice version for aggresive play which will be how the new Ks.int will play it.
Twistd: I think its a fun version for sure, fix back sentry wards so we wont see so much retarded invis heroes in play. I think the new ks.int gonna combine agressive ganks with high pressure on a map and not let the enemis get one single creep for free."


Current Ks.int roster:

Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov
Max 'Gunz' William
Ivan 'Vigoss' Shinkarev
Vasily "Jolie" Pepelyaev
'Bjorn 'Twistd' Alquist
Jesper 'Miracle-' Nyhlan
Kuro 'KuroKy' Salehi Takhasomi
Levent 'Levent' Isyapar
