A team that every Burmese can be proud of. A
big dream coming from a team whose birth
was just inside a small cafe. But soon after
that dream became a reality as Gseven
continued to carry their flags high in
international events and this time, the team
will be bearing their country's flag in the
MPGL SEA!
Team Background
The team was founded by Ko Lin, an owner
of a cyber cafe in Myanmar way back 2009.
He formed the team just to support the
players at first but later on, that dream
became big as improving the eSports scene in
Myanmar. The team is composed of seven
people during that time hence the name
GSeven was born.
If you're a fan of DotA, you may have heard of
the team already but the current roster of
Gseven is not the same as before. Their
current roster came from different other teams
which can be considered as "Myanmar's
finest". Today, only Leo is the one left from
the original roster. Kenji and Kalay
entered the team in 2010 and by the late
December, Gseven managed to win the their
first local championship. After their first
championship, Ko Lin decided to recruit
another team, Wave. This is where they've
discovered the talent of Showti.
Gseven debuted in the international DotA
scene way back 2011 wherein they've
represented their country in the ESTC 2011.
They fell short against MG.Asus and
Exterminator due to the "hero kill" rules (The
organizers counted the hero kills and not the
time consumed for the games). Gseven can be
considered as the best Myanmar team but the
team is really one of the underdogs when it
comes to international competitions due to
the fact , according to them, that eSports in
Myanmar is the least blooming. But despite
that, Gseven is here to prove that even all the
odds are against them, they are still here to
represent.
Gamestyle
Kenji, the team's offlane, describes their
gamestyle as unorthodox and aggressive. Who
can forget about their Meepo+Tuskar
+Venomancer combo that caught Awake
off-guard? Kenji also told us that they love
aggressive pushing strats that's why they
always pick Razor whenever they have a
chance.
Team Members
Min Htet "Kalay" Thu (Support)
Kenji described Kalay as the one who does
most of the job during early game. He's the
one who initiates the ganks and roams around
the map.
Ye "Kenji" Htike (Offlane, Captain)
Kenji is the "safest" player on their team.
Kenji is not the type who takes risk and farms
the jungle alot compared to other offlane
players. He calls himself "the bait" since he's
the one who lures the enemies away.
Aung Myat "ShowT" Soe (Carry)
The most aggressive player among them.
Despite his aggressive gameplay, he's the one
who brightens up the mood of the team.
Described as the joker of the team, ShowT
never fails to crack everybody up with his
jokes.
Khant "Leo" Naing (Mid)
We can call Leo as the gambler or the risk-
taker. He believes that in his position, the
mid, it's either you gamble and win or be safe
and still lose. He told us that he is often
scolded by his teammates with how he takes
risk. He is also described as the "loudest"
among them.
Wai "Linger" Gyi (Support)
Linger is the newest member of the team.
According to Kenji, he's the most quiet among
the team. But nonetheless, his personality
doesn't affect his communication as Leo told
us that he's good with his role despite his
age.
Trivia
ShowT is a forgetful lad. According to Leo, the
team once ate outside and it was ShowT who
locked the door but forgot to bring the keys.
This resulted to the breaking the lock of
their bootcamp.
ShowT is a deep sleeper. Kenji told us that
you cannot wake up ShowT when he's asleep.
How deep? ShowT won't wake up even with
four phones alarming near his ears.
You need to kick ShowT for him to wake up.
Thoughts about coming here in the Philippines
This is the team's first time in the Philippines
so they don't really know what to expect. But
if incase, Leo believes that Philippines is a
very beautiful place with a lot of gardens while
Kenji wants to experience good traditional
food. Hmmmm we think that we should add
Balut on Kenji's list of what-to-eat in the
Philippines.
Tournament Expectation
G7 thinks Team Malaysia can win the whole
thing due to the fact that Team Malaysia can
play their game plan without failure. In the
event that G7 would reach the finals, they said
that they would like to face Arcanys
Gaming since they are friends with them and
they often practiced together.
