Who are the people who put money into professional Dota 2 teams? Why do they do what they do? Is it the lure of vicarious glamour? The thrill of competition? A love of the game? We'll probably never know for sure. Nonetheless, with the help of Dotaland's translation team and SGamer, we now have a window into Speed.int's world. The interview's almost surprisingly blunt. At one point, SGamer flat-out asks, "Had you guys thoroughly looked into the team?"
"Not really very in-depth. We watched their matches and replays, found we really liked them, haha."
Fans of the Chinese RattleSnake squad will be happy to know that permanent disbandment won't be in the team's immediate future. A new Speed.Gaming.CN squad will eventually make an appearance. For now, we'll just have to revel in the glories of the international division.
