Loveen and Mushi talk about Nirvana.Int

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 09:00:15 +0000

A while ago, Nikola ‘Azen’ Belyakov and his team mates decided to leave the Chinese organization called Nirvana because of salaries not being paid as well as the ESWC tickets which means that players had to pay their tickets to attend to this event in Paris, France.

Statement from Azen regarding their departure:

Quote:

After several months of salaries not being paid out, and with Puppey’s ESWC ticket still unpaid for, we have decided to part ways with the Nirvana organization.

In addition to this, Fear is going inactive/quitting competitive DotA , which leaves our current roster as consisting of Kuroky (leader), Puppey, Pajkatt, Azen, March.

We will announce our last addition later.

After a few days, the Nirvana founder as well as a well known player playing for Nirvana.my who is no one else than Chai "Mushi" Yee Fung gave a clear statement of what happened with Nirvana.Int and explained that Nirvana.my as well as Nirvana.cn never got problems with Loveen who always paid the salaries. Mushi also stated that the World DotA Cup which will be hosted in November is a good tournament and people can trust Loveen.

Statement from Chang "Loveen"Jun Sheng, owner of Nirvana:

Quote:

Firstly, I would like to say my apologizes to the Fear, Demon, Azen and the rest of the Nirvana.int members. Due to some contradiction on my part as well as my own immaturity led to their unfair treatment.

I am not a person that likes to stand out and start accusing people or explain much. I strongly believe that no matter what a person says, there will a day when everything will be revealed. Too much explanation will only reveal things about the organization that should not be revealed which will only cause more trouble.

I have already settled their unpaid salary issues and I am grateful for all the effort they put into Nirvana.int. I wish them all the best in their new team.

On a side note, I have already started planning the world’s first World DotA Championship which is due to be held in WuHan, China in November. I will be inviting four of the best teams from Europe to compete, with accommodation and food paid. I do not need to pledge the validity of my claims, every team from China and Asia can vouch for me. There will be $40,000 prize money up for grabs, all it takes is for you to try your luck at taking it home.

Statement from Chai "Mushi" Yee Fung, Nirvana.my captain:

Quote:

First of all, I would like this say hi to all the Nirvana.my fans out there. The reason I’m here is because I felt that I should stand out and clear Loveen’s name. There were no salary issues for Nirvana.my or even Nirvana.cn from the start until now. Sometimes, payment came late due to wire transfer problem from China. Loveen pays every single cent for our salary and also our LAN trips. Regarding the salary issues, Nirvana.int had things already sorted out between the team and Loveen.

It would be better if members of ex-Nirvana.int come out to clear Loveen’s name. For the WDC prize money, I can assure that he will be pay out every single cent to the winners. The money is there; do you have the ability to win it, that’s the main point.

Fear to LOST.eu?

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:00:29 +0000

A few days ago, the former Nv.GiGa.Int player who are now known under the tag World announced the departure of one of their key players Clinton ‘Fear‘ Loomis who decided to quit competitive gaming. Today, it would seem that Fear is already back in action and already joined a new team who is no one else than LOST.eu who recently recruited the legendary former Virtus Pro player Shinkarev Ivan ‘vigoss‘ Igorevich.

There is no official statement by Fear nor the captain of the team, Andreas ‘Ducky‘ Søgaard but it should be confirmed soon as Fear is in the LOST.eu line-up on DotA-League.

With this new addition, the LOST.eu roster looks as follow:
Andreas ‘Ducky‘ Søgaard
Rasmus ‘MiSeRy-‘ Filipsen
Jon ‘13abyKnight‘ Andersen
Alex ‘Santa‘ Koltan
Shinkarev Ivan ‘vigoss‘ Igorevich (Stand-in?)
Clinton ‘Fear‘ Loomis

Due to a 6man roster, we can imagine that either vigoss or Santa will leave the team.

Stay tuned as MyMGN will bring you more information regarding this story.

vigoss back to competitive DotA?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:00:16 +0000

According to GosuGamers, the legendary former Virtus Pro player Shinkarev Ivan ‘vigoss‘ Igorevich is back to competitive DotA where he plays for LOST.eu as stand-in since the departure of Jesper ‘Miracle‘ Nyhlén to team World with his former Ks.Int team mates Kuro ‘KuroKy‘ Salehi Takhasomi and Clement ‘Puppey‘ Ivanov.

As you can see vigoss is only a stand-in but according to the captain of the team who is no one else than Andreas ‘Ducky‘ Søgaard, he could join the team but it is up to him if he wants to come back to the pro scene or not.

Here is a statement of Ducky in a forum post:

Quote:

This is not a joke – but as the picture clearly states he is a standin. Vigoss been playing with us recently and been doing very very very well, thats why we didn’t hesitate to ask him to fill the gab mirakel left in our rooster. The reason for him not to stand as a regular member is that he isn’t sure wether he wants to join the "pro" dota scene again. He still wants to play with us in scrims aswell as official games, thats why we added him to the rooster as "stand-in". I beg you guys to settle down and let vigoss think about what to do – this is his choice, he is more then welcome at our rooster, but if he chooses not to join the competative scene then its a choice we should respekt.

We hope ofcourse vigoss chooses to come back to dota, so we can present him as a regular member of the team, but for now and as long as it will take him to choose he will stay as a standin at our rooster.

We will also be representing a 6th man soon, our goal is to be as active as posible so we already now can make the first preporations for the upcomming lans.

Hope you will keep supporting us, and respekt the situation.

Thx all. Ducky

As you can see Ducky still plans to recruit another player to his team no matter if vigoss decides to play for LOST.eu or not.

Stay tuned as we will try to give you more information about vigoss’ future within future new team.

The DotA World Cup is finally announced

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 09:20:18 +0000

A few months ago, a new organization made his arrival in the Defense of the Ancients scene under the name of Nirvana founded by Jun Sheng ‘Loveen‘ Chang who is no one else than the sponsor who sent the Chinese DotA team
CommeDieu to SMM Grand Finals 2009.

By forming Nirvana, Loveen had announced his desire to create a World DotA Cup but we have not have more information since then.

Today is a great day for the DotA community as Loveen finally announced his plans for the World DotA Cup which will take place in November in Wuahn, China with a prize purse of 300,000 RMB (~ €35,000) including 100,000 RMB (~ €11,000) for the winner which is not insignificant.

Nonetheless, we could ask ourselves about this tournament. In fact, Loveen recently lost his European DotA team
Nirvana.Int who decided to quit the organization due to problems with salaries not being paid as well as the ESWC tickets reimbursed by Loveen.

Picture from GosuGamers

Despite this issue, there is still a silver lining as only 16 teams will make the trip to Wuhan, China to play the Grand-Finals which means that the organizers will host 4 qualifiers for each region which are the following:

America/Europe
Asia
China (Professional)
China (College)

As you can notice it, only four teams from each region will be able to make the trip and here is the interesting part. In fact, the organizers will reward all qualified teams with 10,000 RMB (~ €1,100) which would be enough to attract more teams and convince them that this tournament is a serious one despite the problems Nirvana.Int had with their employer.

If you are planning to take part to the first World Cup ever, I suggest you take a look at the following information:

Venue: Wuhan, China
Date: November (TDA)

Champions: 100,000 RMB (approx 11,000 Euro)
Runner-up: 50,000 RMB (approx 5,700 Euro)
Second Runner-up: 30,000 RMB (approx 3,400 Euro)
Third Runner-up: 20,000 RMB (approx 2,300 Euro)
Qualified teams for the Grand Final: 10,000 RMB (approx 1,100 Euro)

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 12:00:21 +0000

The well-known Swedish player Jesper ‘Miracle‘ Nyhlén has chosen to leave LOST.eu and teams-up with his old KingSurf team mates who are no one else than Kuro ‘KuroKy‘ Salehi Takhasomi and Clement ‘Puppey‘ Ivanov.

The departure from LOST.eu was done under mutual agreement and the captain of the team Andreas ‘Ducky‘ Søgaard respects his choice and is looking forward to facing New World Order.

Quote:

Miracle has been missing the Ks.Int time for a long now. Finally the offer came, and we at LOST.eu won’t stand in his way. He always admired Puppey a lot and it was his time to move on. Hope he will do good with Puppey and co, and for once their team will last long. I’m also happy to see Miracle and Pajkatt together now, may the best EU team win. Can’t wait to battle them.

With the departure of Miracle, LOST.eu consist of 4 members and it is not disclosed yet which player they will be adding to the team.

Furthermore, after the the departure of Jimmy ‘DeMoN‘ Ho, it is now the turn of Clinton ‘Fear‘ Loomis to quit the team as well as the DotA competitive scene.

They were also supposed to move to China for three weeks where they would play tournaments with the best teams such as Nv.GiGa.cn, LGD.sGty, EHOME and more but it seems it will not happen.

Nonetheless, the team added a new player to the squad with the arrival of the Swedish player, Pelle ‘Pajkatt‘ Olsson-Lille who had left LOST.eu alongside Jonathan ‘Loda‘ Berg.

Here is the official statement of Azen:

Quote:

MYM Prime Defending bracket released

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:40:11 +0000

After many months of interesting and intense matches, the MYM Prime Defending admins have finally released the bracket with the 16 remaining teams. There are not big matches in the first round of this bracket except MYM against COMPETO which can be very interesting to follow.

Considering the texture of this bracket, we can assume Nv.GiGa.cn will face DTS or AEON in the first semi-final. The second semi-final may be played by MYM and LGD.sGty/Starsboba but it may be also something totally different as we do not know if the Asian teams will perform well due to lag.

LOST.ru is also a team who can make it to the semi-finals even if they do not have that much experience in tournaments. Do not forget that they were not able to beat WSSM in the qualifiers where they ended up with a tie.

Nv.GiGa.cn vs YamatO
paiN! vs LOST.eu
AEON.sg vs OK
WSSM vs DTS
MYM vs COMPETO
DG vs MCiTY
LOST.ru vs Tribal.Int
KIS vs LGD.sGty or Starsboba

The matches will be played in a Best-of-Three format and the organizers decided to use a double-elimination system as soon as the semi-finals are reached.

The first round is set to start on 30th August and the Grand-Final will be played is due on 19th September.

LOST lost its Russian team

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 21:20:20 +0000

A few months ago, the LOST project announced its interest in the Russian team called TeamHome who did not do very good results as they did not achieve to qualify for ESWC after their second place at ASUS behind DTS-Gaming.

Today, ze7 announced his desire to host tournaments instead of supporting teams. If you are not up to date, a few players from LOST.eu went to Jordan to promote DotA and they got the opportunity to play some tournaments and apparently, it was a success in ze7’s eyes.

Here is the statement ze7 gave to GosuGamers about his choice to not support LOST.ru

Quote:

When Luccianoz came to me and proposed to me the sponsorship of LOST.ru I found that it was a great idea for me, in order to promote DotA and help Luccianoz achieve his goals.

After the LAN tournament I saw that the best way for me to promote DotA and my business was to host big LAN tournaments, not to sponsor a DotA teams. So I would like to apologize to LOST.ru and Luccianoz for making them look bad

Luccianoz also said a few words:

Quote:

I am glad that ze7 and I hosted the biggest LAN event in jordan, which helped us promote DotA. We achieved our goals and I am a little sad that ze7 wants out because he sponsored LOST.ru under my wing.

I am really sad that I lost PGG and Jolie because I seriously respect and love the guys alot. But without a partner I can’t sponsor three big teams."

The LOST organization will continue with LOST.eu, LOST.jo and EEDL.

As you can see, the LOST project will still support the two other teams namely LOST.eu and LOST.jo as well as the most famous European league, EEDL.

It is unknown if the former LOST.ru team will try to find sponsors or disband so stay tuned for more information.

DeMoN leaves Nirvana.Int

admin — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 07:40:04 +0000

It is a sad day for DotA as Jimmy ‘DeMoN‘ Ho decided to leave Nirvana.Int for unknown reasons. He has been the closest player of the team and his decision to leave the team is somewhat surprising considering that he was a key player in the team as well as a very good friend of Clinton ‘Fear‘ Loomis

In his statement, he does not reveal any information about his departure but he explains that he will still play DotA competitively, but no longer with Nirvana.Int.

Quote:

I would like to thank my teammates as well as all the fans of Nirvana for giving me the chance to grow as a player and all the opportunities that I was given. Unfortunately, I will have to announce that I will be departing ways with Nirvana.int. I’ll regret leaving Fear the most. He has really helped me grow as a player and realize my potential with confidence in all the times I have spent playing with him. Thank you fans for all the support you’ve given me. And thank you Loveen for the great run we had. As far as my future, I aspire to improve myself and continue playing competitively. I hope for the best for Nirvana.int and their future endeavors.

Were Kuro ‘KuroKy‘ Salehi Takhasomi (Who is now the captain of the team) and Clement ‘Puppey‘ Ivanov the reasons for him to leave the team?
