Replying to a redditor:

> Hey Dendi! I don't know how the community will react to this question. But have you ever played League of Legends? If so, what is your impression of it? Edit: Bonus question; Why are you so hot? ^.^

> i played a lot of league of legends before i got DOTA2 invite . I can tell you a funny story :) I think i was doing very good . I played around 1800-2000 overall games of it . I wanted to get to top1 and write on forums of LOL that "this game is too easy and if you want something challenging or competetive you should play dota" . But :D sadly i got only to top8 MAX i think .. in solo QUE .Then i stopped due to DOTA . And i was playing alone mostly . So people in DUO had more opportunity to get top1 . At first i liked the game , but then slowly after playing it more and more i start realising of how "small chess field" it have compare to dota. How small "opportunities" it give to you at creativity.  But it was long ago . PLEASE do not use it anywhere , because it's only my opinion . And it was long ago , since then a lot of things changed. I think League of Legends gave me a lot in dota . A lot patience actually :D because without it you can do nothing there . Also i think that SOLO que is very stupid idea in league of legends , because it's very very teamdepended game . I don't follow league of legends now , sometime i watch tournament games . I think this game improved a lot from the point i left it . But i will allways choose dota . I have nothing against league of legends . I just feel it more casual on medium lvl . Also i believe in higest lvl it is also very hard to play .

Replying to the post "Open Letter to Dendi from a fanboy".

> @strwbrymlk sent me here :) ! Thank you so much for your warm words . I also get very sad when i lose or don't do well/can't do well in games . I think our team gets the most bad words compare to any other team (we know the reasons) which is very undeserved sometime , because we did nothing bad to those people :( . And it's pretty hard to tank :) you need to have really thick skin , it's truth . I am still trying my best to believe in my teammates . Sooner or later i'll crush everyone faces IRL and INGAME . We are having hard times but soon - - - NAVI IS BACK ! DendiFace (no space) The amount of motivation is over 9000 . Anyway less talking more working .
