Dukalis Discusses Puppey’s Relationship with PARIVISION Players

Andrey “Dukalis” Kuropatkin does not believe that Clement “Puppey” Ivanov takes a strict approach toward the players on the PARIVISION Dota 2 roster.

The player discussed this in an interview with Taverna.

“I think we have a more democratic team where we listen to everyone’s opinions. And in general, I wouldn’t say he’s such a strict guy. He’s always good at joking around, lightening the mood, and so on.”

According to Andrey “Dukalis” Kuropatkin, the PARIVISION players listen to each other’s opinions, and Clement “Puppey” Ivanov often cracks jokes to make the team atmosphere more friendly. Dukalis admitted that he used to consider Puppey a rather strict figure in the pro scene, but now he realizes that he actually has a pretty friendly personality.

“I think it’s more likely that when he was playing, he was probably expected to be that way. Or maybe that’s changed with age. But he’s really a guy who cracks a lot of funny jokes. Right now, I don’t see him the way I used to.”

As a reminder, earlier, Clement “Puppey” Ivanov admitted that he prefers coaching the team to playing Dota 2 himself.
