Poloson: "Satanic has the potential to become the best" Exclusive
2024-10-26 19:01:00Yakult's Brothers support Wilson "Poloson" Chin Wei spoke to eScoreNews after the team managed to stop TI13 champions from Team Liquid at BetBoom Dacha Dota 2 2024. We discussed the unexpected ending of the hour-long game and asked his opinion about the new carry of Team Spirit, Alan "Satanic" Gallyamov.
— An amazing match! How did you manage to come back when you realized that you were falling behind?
— We were leading almost the entire game, chasing them around the map. But at the moment when Luna died in the Roshan pit without buyback [ESN: Luna actually had buyback], they also needed to heal, so they backed up. They didn't manage to push fast enough, they just took Roshan. And then we respawned and managed to defend the base.
— You played in the playoffs against two big teams. Why did Team Spirit manage to beat you so easily?
— Team Spirit is a very strong team, as always. We were not prepared for them. Personally, I was not ready. Today, we managed to fix most of our problems, although we still have some. Maybe, step by step, we will beat more teams.
— What can you say about Satanic, who showed himself especially well against your team?
— He is a good player. He is still really young and has so many years ahead to become even better. He has the potential to become the best. I wish him all the best but not against my team. Next time, I will do my best everything to beat him.
— You have been on the pro scene since 2014, but mainly played on tier 2 scene. Is this team or maybe this tournament your best chance to finally make a name for yourself?
— Absolutely! Before, I was half-playing and half-studying, and then I went to the army. I didn't have much time. But I've been playing for so long, and pursuing a Dota career is my dream. I want to go to The International and achieve the highest possible results. And now I'm on my way to this dream. I'm really happy now!
The 28-year-old Poloson is familiar to seasoned fans of the pro scene. He has been playing since 2014, often alongside his teammate Galvin "Meracle" Jian Wen, but never achieved significant results. Yakult's Brothers assembled after TI13. BetBoom Dacha became their first LAN tournament. BetBoom Team eliminated them from the lower bracket in the following match.
