In an emphatic appeal to the top DotA Teams in the country, Ronal Robinson Robins, better known as “Roro” apologizes for Team Mineski’s heart-breaking loses versus Malaysia and Indonesia in the GG Game Asian DotA Championship Tournament.

He then proceeds to evaluate the current situation of the top Philippine teams compared to those abroad. Most teams abroad, specifically China and Malaysia dedicate significant work hours to playing and practicing serious match games with their respective practice teams (second teams). Philippine teams, meanwhile, lack second teams to practice with. Furthermore, there is a shortage of high level competitive tournaments in the country.

The unbeatable Chen-Sven tandem of Arby Ng and Vinzyre Villeguez.

In a blurb about Team Philippines for the Asian Cyber Games 2007 (ACG), Filipinos’ preference for using Sven as the central hero is highlighted…

Teams from the archipelago are famous for their hyper farmed Sven style…. It is this special style that will be the headache of teams that will face them in this tournament simply because of the fact that it is quite hard to reproduce this special style in any internal simulations a team could make.

Alvin Villeguez of Team Flow, better known as Vinzyre, showcased this Filipino Sven style when he played in the ACG. He is the Sven to Arby Ng’s Chen. The two went beyond the hyper farmed Sven, and popularized the Sven-Chen tandem that has amazed and stumped local and international teams.
