“33’s role in the team is his ability to use game theory” - MoonMeander about 1win Team players

The esports organization 1win Team published a team video blog from the bootcamp. In it, offlaner Neta '33' Shapira and coach David Tan Boon 'MoonMeander' Young spoke about the lineup and assessed the bootcamp.

MoonMeander: There are many different nationalities on the team. Different cultures, different countries. But what they all have in common is Dota and the fact that these players were specifically selected for this team. Based on their playing style, I think they complement each other very well.

33: Everyone on our team is very open. We always listen to each other's new ideas. We don’t have guys with high heart rate who don’t care about others. It's easy for me to play in this team. You need to be able to play well and have powerful players. Players must be smart and you must have clear ideas. But if you want to be a strong tier-1 team, the most important thing for you should be stability.

We enjoy spending time together. We don't have big fights or anything like that. Even if we play poorly or lose a match, we still go out to eat or play something together. Everyone on the team is very friendly. This is cool. We are not the only team like this, but I like everything.

MoonMeander : In Belgrade I want to create something that cannot be done online, namely energy. Energy in communication. Chat between games or between pubs - see each other's games all the time.

33: Everyone gives 100% at the bootcamp. We went to look at the apartments that the guys from 1win Team found for us to replace hotel accommodation, as we have done all these years. [...] We are in the very center. You can always go out and get coffee or eat. We need a permanent place so we don't have to live in hotels. And so that Whitemon and MoonMeander, if they need to stay longer in Europe, have a place for this. So that the apartments are always ready. It's like a second home - it's difficult to constantly change it.

33's role on the team is his ability to use game theory. All macro moments, movement on the map, builds, heroes, Roshan and, of course, the draft. He is much stronger than me in understanding the offlane - I’m not his teacher here. But I can help him understand the team so that he doesn't just play on his own, but thinks about the team. When he lost, he immediately went to play 10 pubs. We had a break for a month, but he played all the time. He invited us to play, pulled us into scrims. He has a real will to win and is ready for anything.

ari is the same as bzm . He is the support who always wants to fight. From the very beginning of the game he is one of the strongest laners. He might even be the strongest laner today. He simply gives his best from the first minute of the game.

Whitemon is responsible for the defense on our team. He is my voice in the game, vision, support in movement, macro moments, defending our zones. He's on defense and he knows how to keep it. He is the shield of our team.

bzm has such a mindset that he just wants to kill. He simply kills his enemies from start to finish. This is his role. He laughs and jokes all the time. Cheerful guy. He is the youngest in the squad.

Pure's job on the team... He's the guy who energizes everyone and gives everyone peace of mind. If he has a difficult game, he will switch more to macro calls because 33 is often calmer. But Pure will only tell you important information.

Earlier, Bozhidar 'bzm' Bogdanov explained why the team misses some tournaments, talked about where it is best to look for new ideas, and also named the most unpleasant heroes in the current meta.
