Interview with bok choy gaming's captain, Hamish

Most possibly the youngest team to compete on the day, bok choy gaming will use this tournament as an initiation of sorts.
But one would hope that by the end of the day, they will grow beards and be familiar with the art of manscaping.  Nevertheless, the man leading this team into the battle took the time to answer his set of questions.

G’day Hamish, mind introducing yourself to the Canberra DOTA2 scene?    
I'm a 14 year old player from Radford College, who loves eSports and managed to convince my band of awful scrubs, I call friends, to get a team together!

Are you able to introduce your team mates as well and their roles in the team?
We have got Wesley on our solo mid, Ben our offlane, Marcus on our position 4, Jackson on carry, and me on the infamous ward bitch.



From L-R: Wesley, Hamish, Marcus, Jackson and Ben
How long have you played together with your current team?
We have all been playing with each other for around 2 years, except for Marcus, who we needed to replace our previous offlane, who wasn't able to make it.

The team RAD does team bonding exercises, is there anything that you do as a team to strengthen your chemistry together?
Our team tends to strategically flame each other a lot, so as to build character and crush self esteem.



A reenactment of bok choy gaming
 We're bracing up for a pretty big solid tournament, what are you most looking forward to?
We are all interested in seeing how we match up against you oldies, being what we expect to be the youngest team there. If we are to get rofl-stomped, then the aim is to at least have fun.

We have 3 interstate teams competing in this tournament, with the strongest one of the lot, being AVANT YMC.  Are you familiar with any of them and how do you fancy your chances against them?
We don't know any of the interstate teams, but they all look scary as hell, but we hope to send at least one home crying. 

What are your thoughts on the Australian DOTA 2 scene?
Honestly, I though Aus were a bunch of ~5k max scrubs untill last night, when I saw JR beat MVP Phoenix, who I consider to be the best 3rd tier team around right now.
(Editor's note: JR = Johnny's Revenge which is a SEA team rather than an AUS team)

Back to our own local scene in Canberra, is there any teams that you’re familiar with and respect?
Our mid says he knows 4+1's captain, anno domini, but I don't know any of the players by name myself.

Will we see you in future Canberra DOTA2 tournaments?
Probably not, as our team isn't very good at communicating, so we think it's going to be a one of, unless we kick ass or something silly.

Hamish, thank you for your time, is there anything further that you’d like to add or any shoutouts?
I would really like to thank the organisers, my team, and barclay zhang, our older offlane who can't be here to play with us for the tournament and all our families and friends who have been so encouraging in our interest of "not a real sport"
