Hello aVe, congratulations. How do you feel after this victory?
Of course, i feel good. We played the game quite save and didn’t make any mistakes. It will boost our confidence in this tournament. Our next opponent is 69°N-28°E and we see if we can keep our confidence up.
How thrilling is it to win the deciding round in a 1on4-situation?
It was a close round and it’s great fun to win such. We planted the bomb at the b-spot. I took down two opponents at their spawn and one coming up from banana. The last one came quite late and i sprayed him down.
What do you expect in the Samsung Euro Championship? Do you expect to win?
Of course I think we can win! We already played good at ShgOpen but we lost the games in the morning. I think we’ve got a bit of a complex with these early games. But this match was early too an we won, so it shouldn’t be a problem this time. I think we have learned our lesson.
Give me the exact place you will finish at.
The One of course!
Good Luck. How do you like this tournament and the area?
It could be better. They made the mistake to put a sheet on the table. Cause me, hpx and sonic are playing on QcK-Mousepad and it’s quite annoying to playing on such soft surface. We are also playing on TFT. That shouldn’t be at such big tournaments. The technology isn’t still good enough for FPS.
What about the noise? Is it a problem or just normal on such great events?
I think it’s normal, even a bit charming. So much noise changes the game quite a lot. You can play the game much faster, cause the opponent can’t always hear you. It’s fun – quite deathmatchlike. (laughing)
What do you think about your teammates? Give me a characteristic for each one.
Let’s start with HPX, our AWP-Player. He is quite calm, always chosing the right decision. On good days, he doesn’t miss a single shot. Than we have sonic, who is one of our best players. He always takes down at least three enemys. He is a realy stable player and always in a good term. Same about Paddy. He is a very important motivation factor. Heboosts the team quite a lot and is the back of the team. The last one is mJe. He is always the guy who set up first. He is a brilliant faker and so we uses this quite oft.
What about you?
I’m our tactical leader. I guess i am the middle person of our game. I try to keep the overview what is happening on the map so we can chose the right decisions.
Is this the best team you ever played in?
Yes, of course. I came in this summer, playing for SoA before. For sure it was a realy huge step from a team like SoA to such a professional like NoA.
What will you do after the tournament? Staying at CEBIT and take a look at the new technologies?
I don’t exactly know when we will leave. But of course we are using the free time to going around and looking at the new stuff. This is quite exciting.
How will you prepare for the next match?
We are gonna talk about Dust2 now, discussing about different tactics, discussing about their playstyle. We lost to them at World Cyber Games and now it’s time for revenge!
Thanks for the interview and good luck in your next match.
