What are you filming again? What?
We've only got two more questions to go.
I see, sorry.
Roma's expected at a CW? – I'm sorry. – We're going to tell you why you have this nickname.
– I agree. – A.k.a. RAMZES666.
Roma, we recently had a flash interview with the team, to which we invited your friend Resol [Resolut1on].
He told us he'd trade any member of his team for you
so he could share a hotel room with you during tournaments.
Would you always share a hotel room with Resol if you had the chance?
And spend more time with him as a friend?
Well, we're technically foes. But friends too, apparently. – Yeah. – But all the time…
Probably not. Just hanging out, though—of course, why not.
Suppose you and Resol played on the same team.
How would your normal day look like?
What would you do, what would you talk about, how would you spend your time?
I don't know, it's been a long time… We don't see each other for a while,
And then we talk about what happened in the meantime.
What would you do if there was no Dota?
Say, they turn Dota off forever or ban it.
First of all, I'd be… I'd study. Yeah.
And I'd do some sports, I guess.
Such as? What's your favorite sport?
Well, footy, footy's good.
And some kind of fighting. – Martial arts. – Yes.
What was your favorite subject at school? – PE. – PE?
On your long journey as a player, you've had different mentors, different coaches,
different team captains.
Could you talk about who contributed what to your development?
You can even mention Solo and Artstyle, who you have as your mentors now.
Let's see, when I began, I had—who did I have? Goblak? – Yes. – Well, he didn't contribute much to my development.
I suppose I did go up a bit with Goblak.
Empire's Scandal, what did he contribute? – Nothing, nothing at all.
– And Stalianer? – Stalianer. Well, let's see. Stalianer.
Stalianer taught me to play Dota. I was a very low-level player back then,
and instead of these kinds of tournaments, we played in really small ones.
And we only ever won in those. So he gave me the basics, out of which I molded something later.
And now, Solo and then Artstyle. What did Solo contribute to your development, your career?
Well, before then, I always played for Tier 2 teams—actually, not always, there was Empire, for instance.
I was about Tier 2 or Tier 3.
It was the same with Team Spirit, while now I'm feel that I'm sort of more or less growing over into Tier 1.
Well, my actions are completely different, my thinging… thinking, *thinking*.
So Lyokha [Aleksey] has been very helpful there. And Artstyle, too.
Vanya—Artstyle—hasn't been there for that long, and we're already seeing some serious successes out of you,
which is in many ways thanks to him.
What's Vanya's m.o.? How does he interact with you?
Well, Vanya is more about psychology, not gameplay. He does sometimes give advice before games
where to ward, who to pick and so on.
He's mostly about psychology. When someone's in a bad mood, or someone tilted after a game.
Say, we lose the first game, and Vanya comes up and says "It's all right guys,
it's normal for game one, you'll power through the other two now."
Does he sometimes hold individual sessions where he tells someone off,
or debriefs someone?
He sometimes does when there's some misunderstanding in the team, some argument.
The important thing is that there are no fights.
That nothing builds up inside. When it does build up,
Vanya has one-on-one talks with us. And everything's cool again.
Quite often, the team reserves a special kind of initiative for you.
That is to say, you have a lot of room to make decisions on your own, sometimes for the whole team.
Why do you think your team puts such trust in you?
Because when we put the team together, I was doing the picking.
I'm sort of next in line after Lyokha [Solo]. He's the boss, and I'm a bit below.
Roma, you play as a carry.
The other day, we asked Vova [No[o]ne] why he played in mid.
Why do you play in the carry position? What's special about it, what's the advantage?
What do you like about this particular role?
Well, I used to play… There used to be a team called SFZ.
I was their offlaner. They kicked me out and took Artstyle.
Artstyle left the team, and I came back as offlaner.
And it wasn't working for us.
I had a kind of inner hunch that I could make a decent carry.
We kicked our carry, and I became the carry.
And that was when we went on an upward curve, so to speak.
Do you get enough opportunities to hang out with people outside of Dota,
or do you not need these people at all?
No, I'm not interested whatsoever.
So you prefer spending time alone, or else with your team?
I have a social circle, even among Dota players, that I can hang out with IRL,
even in my own city. So I don't have a particular need.
In your home city, do people often recognize you in the street and ask for an autograph?
In Russia specifically, not so much, compared to other places
Europe, especially China, and in Malaysia, I'm downright revered.
Russians, though—Russians know Lyokha [Solo] better, he's more of a media person than me.
And what do you feel when you're walking down the street and someone asks you for an autograph?
Nothing against that.
And perhaps some girls wearing t-shirts with you on them…
Actually, how often do girls write you things like "Roma, I love you, let's date"?
My PM is turned off. I told you I wasn't interested.
And do you maybe get that via somebody else, the swooning kind of thing?
Yes, it happens.
Via an acquaintance of mine. He's the admin in my group [on VK]
and he sometimes forwards me such things.
That admin in your group, your public page—is he a friend of yours?
Yes, it's my best friend. He's essentially the guy who taught me to play.
So why aren't we talking about him now? What's his name? – Temych [Artem].
Shall we say hi to him? – Hi! – Did you say hi to him during the flash interview? – I did.
– Good. – Hi Temych!
I suppose you've already been asked this many times, but why "RAMZES666"? – No reason.
Let's talk a little about ancient Egypt then.
At what age do you think Ramzes [Ramesses] became the ruler of Egypt?
I don't know. Around thirty. – No, he became the ruler at 22.
You're 18 now, meaning you've got every chance to conquer the world
even earlier than Ramesses began to rule Egypt.
We've got The International coming up this year, so there's every chance you'll be the ruler of the aegis at a younger age.
Off the top of your head, how long to you think he ruled Egypt?
I don't know. I just don't. – Use your nickname.
66 years. – 66 years! And do you know how many wives he had?
66? – Six! – All right.
So it looks like RAMZES666 is a completely accurate nickname.
I'm just telling you to keep you in the picture, so that you know.
Why, thanks, now I've found out a little about myself.
Now you can tell everyone that you're RAMZES666 because…
Because I'm smart.
Because you're smart. – Yeah.
Hello to Virtus.pro, hello to our sponsors, hello to Temych.
And Resol. Thanks for supporting us.
