G’day, mind introducing yourself to the Canberra DOTA2 scene?     
Hi my name is Dhika a.k.a Mangoheart, 25 year old uni student from UNSW. I did my highschool
and college in Canberra so I’m familiar with most of the places. I’ve been playing dota on and off for about 4 years now but only really started looking at things like drafting and competitive
gaming since TI3.

Are you able to introduce your team mates as well and their roles in the team?
We are mostly a collection of people from different amateur teams. I knows some of them mostly because we've played against each other a fair bit.
On our carry position we have Mr Defined Handsum, no comment on the name because we’ve
never met in person.
Over at the mid lane we have Odysseus, who is muted in 90% of games XD
In the offlane will be me, mangoheart, most wanted in 7 countries for the crime of killstealing
And in the supports we have the Canberra boys novaclipse and multicast king, who will attempt to stop the rest of us from feeding. It will however be a lost cause.

How long have you played together with your current team? 
About 3 or 4 times? Not much really as we all have our individual teams.

Being a fairly new team, is there anything that you do to strengthen your chemistry together?
Not really, this is a team which we put together quite hastily and just wanna have fun at a LAN.

We're bracing up for a pretty big solid tournament, what are you most looking forward to?
Looking forward to seeing high skilled players play competitive dota against each other

We have 4 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?
I am familiar with the names because I watch a lot of competitive DOTA. I doubt we have any real chance against the top teams but anything can happen in DOTA.

What are your thoughts on the Australian DOTA 2 scene?
The competitive DOTA 2 scene in Australia has a lot of talent in it IMO but lacks exposure to the
international scene due to high ping when playing in SEA. Even the SEA scene is not taken
seriously by some people in Europe unfortunately

Back to our own local scene in Canberra, is there any teams that you’re familiar with and 
respect?
I've played against BoysBoys once in a previous tournament. Also played with people from some of the other Canberra teams in pubs. Nice community overall

Will we see you in future Canberra DOTA2 tournaments?
If I can make it :D

Mango, thank you for your time, is there anything further that you’d like to add or any shoutouts?
Shoutout to the rest of the guys from team fossil (killswitch, daisy, herpes and sobinix) as well as George Huang.
