Q1) What is the team's daily routine like?

Omkar “PasoLL” Urunkar: The first thing we usually do is going out for a morning walk together. Following up by Breakfast and also added to it a few players usually play ranked games in the morning and some spectating solo POV of professional players.

Later in the Afternoon we usually have 2 sets of scrims following up with general Team Discussion. Which lasts the entire duration of the day. We also follow a streaming / off time schedule with a day off every week to ensure players don’t feel any burnout. Global eSports ensures that we as players are always both physically and mentally fit and know when to hit the breaks when things get too strenuous.

Q4) What are the other activities you do to relax and go away from Dota 2?

A35: I thoroughly enjoy playing a game called Osu and I’m also a massive movie buff and enjoy watching a fair share of movies in my spare time!

Micro: Watch movies, tv shows and in my spare time, I love listening to good music.

Q5) What is the major difference in Indian Dota 2 players and foreign Dota 2 players?

PasoLL: The understanding of the game and a lack of bonding between the players outside of the game. Indian players don’t like to take responsibility and regardless of how well or poorly Indian players perform, there’s a serious attitude fix required for most of the players.. Without trust a team is nowhere, trust amongst players is what makes a unit. Trust is the most important aspect of a team.
