Interview with Pusher by GosuGamers

Gosugamers conducted a long interview with Pusher to talk about how he start play DotA and met the current MYM team, why MYM invite him, and what he feeling playing in one of the best DotA teams in history.
Let's start with how you actually met the guys from MYM and how it came to form a team together.
Well my story into the old MYM team was a long one: it all started with my friendship with MaNia whom I have known since I was 7, and we always played video games against each other and also together (bubble bobble 4ever!). So we've pretty much always played the same stuff because we hated losing to each other and it was a great way to pass time, when you didn't have enough for football. Then we started going to PC cafes with our friends since you could only play 2-4 on N64, Starcraft was a bit too hard for me because back then I was only 11 and I didn't really want to compete with MaNia in that game since he was far superior then me. But when WC3 was coming out I decided to get better than him, which didn't work out of me though :S He was still better.
Then when TFT came out MaNia was on vacation so I had two weeks I could play where he couldn't. So I thought I would abuse this chance and I pracced, pracced and pracced to beat him when he came back and I could finally get my revenge since I never beat him in SC and only once in WC3 RoC. So the day he came home I convinced him to buy TFT so we could play vs. each other.
And let me guess: you lost?
Yes, he owned me sooo hard with some cheesy RoC strat I was soooooo pissed ever since then, so I decided I would just team up with him instead (dreams shattered :S ). Funny story though back then.
How did you come to know Maelk?
I hated Maelk back then because he had his own Danish crew competing with me and MaNia's. We were always flaming each other every chance we would get. It was always Maelk/Reveal/Tulkaz/Loca vs. Me/MaNia/Flaskehals/41-eyes and it was really funny to have this rivalry since we won the first 3on3 Bnet tour on Northrend and Maelk had to sit there and choke on it. We loved that :)
But as WoW came out I started playing it and I tried to lore MaNia with me until he got level 21 in one weekend, but he stopped playing it because he was more focused on WC3 at the time since he was playing on a more serious level then me.
After a year of WoW, MaNia said I should start playing DotA with him so we could start playing against each other again. At first I was like "DotA is a noob custom game", but he said I should just try it out again because it changed a lot since I first played it (remember Riki’s death ward...).
