Jenkins tells about the bizarre interview with Mira

Andrew “Jenkins” Jenkins told how he once suggested Miroslav “Mira” Kolpakov to conduct an interview in the shower, to which the player responded in agreement, taking the idea as a funny joke.

The commentator told the corresponding story in a Dota2 interview.

“I asked Mira from Spirit to come with me to the shower and conduct an interview there literally face to face. And all I had to say was: “Dude, this is going to be funny.” And he was like, 'Yeah, you're right.' I think humor is a universal language. Obviously, you have to find the right player and do something appropriate with them. Fortunately, most players are OK with the most absurd jokes.”

According to Andrew “Jenkins” Jenkins, Dota 2 players react normally to such things, and are even prone to absurd behavior if you build a friendly relationship with them behind the scenes so that the person can distinguish between a joke and a personal grudge. The commentator believes that the only obstacle in communicating with cyber athletes for him is the language barrier.

“For some reason, Dota players tend to do absurd things like this. I don't know, maybe it somehow defuses the atmosphere for them.

The main thing is to let them know you're not mocking them or anything like that. Like I said before, it's behind the scenes that you build the relationship so they know you're friends and you're just messing around. So I've never had a problem about that, just the language barrier.”

As a reminder, Miroslav “Mira” Kolpakov previously joined Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov's team at BetBoom Streamers Battle 9.
