PARIVISION Dota 2 offlaner Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin shared in an interview with Andrew “Jenkins” Jenkins his thoughts on adapting to the American time zone at ESL One Raleigh 2025. The interview was shown on the English broadcast of the tournament.
When asked about how he was feeling, DM responded that he had no jetlag and felt great. He explained that in Europe, he had an “inhuman” sleep schedule, going to bed at 5 AM, so the American schedule felt normal to him.
Regarding the idea of a “night owl gene,” DM expressed skepticism. He believes it`s unhealthy to live by night and bad for one`s health.
DM also shared his positive feelings about being in the USA. He described a relaxing atmosphere, great weather and architecture, and friendly, open people, saying he felt like he was in “a little paradise.”
ESL One Raleigh 2025 is taking place from April 7th to 13th in the USA, with 12 teams competing for a $1 million prize pool. Matches begin at 7 PM Moscow time, and the competition day ends around 4 AM Moscow time.
