Korok: We are far from our strongest form

posted by Jaywalker, 345 days ago

us Quantic Gaming has been executing stellar performances, and proving themselves as top contenders for all competitions. With their upcoming LAN debut at DreamHack, fans can surely expect exciting action. In an interview with ProDOTA2, Quantic star us Steven 'Korok' Ashworth speaks about the aftermath of defeat at The International West Qualifier,DreamHack, his signature heroes, and more.


Unfortunately for North American DotA fans, Quantic was knocked out of the TI2 qualifications by mTw. Do you blame this on a lack of practice or did mTw just play well?

mTw played a very safe and conservative style and didn’t leave very many opportunities for us to catch them off guard. However, I feel like our team has been in a rut ever since the middle of May, and we are far from our strongest form.

Which teams are you looking forward to meeting or facing the most at Dreamhack?

Evil Geniuses. Who doesn’t want to face the Bulba invoker or Universe’s long lane earthshaker? I have to show love for our ‘rivals’ and fellow Americans.Some teams besides Quantic have been struggling recently with the release of some new [game] titles.

Most spectators of DotA 2 know you for your Morphling, Queen of Pain, Riki and Tiny. Is this due to your comfort ability on these heroes or just because they're strong in the current "meta-game"?

I like to play mobile heroes that are capable of dealing massive damage as well as solo gank. The current meta-game isn’t really defined by heroes yet, but primarily what people are comfortable with. For example, if a team had a good strategy utilizing Lina, then it should work for them.

interesting that Quantic got into a rut around the same time the issues of LastHitMagic maphacking in multiple games and concerns over stream cheating arose

Quantic is a very strong team but they need to adapt their drafting. If they can do that, I'd rate them top 5 West easily.
