Blacklist Rivalry: The Team to Watch Out for in TI12 SEA Qualifiers
Blacklist Rivalry is set to dominate the highly competitive TI12 SEA qualifiers, with their coaches confident that few teams can match their skill. In an exclusive interview with ONE Esports, Kenny “Xepher” Deo and Adam “343” Erwann Shah discussed their unique dual-coach setup, their meticulous preparation for the qualifiers, and their biggest rivals in the tournament.
Why Blacklist Rivalry Opted for a Dual-Coach Setup
With Xepher’s recent transition from player to coach, the decision to have two coaches was a strategic one. Xepher focuses on the bigger picture, handling drafting, communication, and adapting to different situations. Meanwhile, 343 brings his experience and attention to detail, complementing Xepher’s strengths. Their collaboration allows them to cover all aspects of the game effectively.
Blacklist Rivalry’s Rivals and Preparation
To assess their opponents in the SEA qualifiers, Blacklist Rivalry relies on observing players’ habits through public matchmaking. While they primarily scrim outside their region, they believe that studying players’ decision-making and mechanics in pubs provides valuable insights. They particularly noted Bleed as a team with exceptional Dota habits, showcasing quick decision-making and solid game knowledge.
Blacklist Rivalry: Their Own Toughest Competition
When asked about their biggest rivals in the TI12 qualifiers, Xepher confidently stated that their toughest competition is themselves. He believes that their team has the potential to defeat any opponent, emphasizing their confidence without arrogance. With their flawless performance so far in the qualifiers, having not dropped a single game against Army Geniuses and Bleed Esports, Blacklist Rivalry is proving Xepher’s faith in their abilities.
As of now, Blacklist Rivalry is on track to secure a spot in TI12, currently positioned in the upper bracket final. With two more series to go, they have the opportunity to demonstrate their dominance and prove that they are a force to be reckoned with.
