"We have good relationships within the team" - Lorenof on Aurora Gaming
Midlaner Aurora Gaming Artem Lorenof Melnik gave an interview during the Elite League 2024 broadcast. He shared that the team has developed good relationships among the players and also commented on playing together with Alan Satanic Galyamov in the tournament.
Artem mentioned that joining Aurora Gaming was not an easy decision, as it required him to travel to Southeast Asia. However, the player does not regret his choice, as good relationships have been formed within the team.
It was a tough decision because Aurora competes in a different region—I had to come to Southeast Asia. It's quite difficult, but we have developed good relationships within the team. We can freely communicate with each other, everything is fine.
I was asked to play as a stand-in during the DreamLeague. The manager just chose me, and then I went to the boot camp.
Lorenof also talked about the experience of playing with the carry from Yellow Submarine Satanic, who played one of the matches with the team, replacing the main first position player, Nengnare 23savage Tiramahanon.
Satanic speaks English poorly. But he is young and very good at Dota 2—he has a high rank. We didn't have many candidates for the stand-in role, but Satanic plays well, and I was pleased to spend this series with him. Everything was okay.
I can't tell why 23savage is not playing with us at the moment. He just needed to return to Thailand to deal with personal matters. So yes, Satanic will not replace him on a permanent basis.
Together with Satanic, the team managed to defeat Team Secret in the Swiss stage of Elite League 2024. 23Savage has already returned to the lineup, and Alan Satanic Galyamov is preparing to participate in the European Pro League 17: Division 1 as a part of Yellow Submarine. The first match is scheduled against B8, set for April 9 at 18:00 Eastern European Time.
Currently, Aurora Gaming is competing in the second phase of the group stage of Elite League 2024. At the time of writing this news, the team leads its group, surpassing Tundra Esports and Team Liquid.
