Event: DHS'11
How much practice have you been putting in for the 1v1 cup?strenx: I would say those last day I did a break of 2/3 days because I needed it, and from now I don't train duel so much, a little with spartie though. Maybe it's because everybody is focusing on TDM. But anyways I try to train as much as I can.
What are your thoughts on Hektik & Toxicity?
strenx: I think since the new spawns were made, Hektik became a nice map and I started to enjoy it. About toxicity, it's a great idea to have put a new map, and I really attend to make some good things on that map.
Do you think it's a good thing that ZTN has been removed?
strenx: ztn is an old map, so it has to be removed anyways. So yes, I think it's a good idea, every player has to focus more on maps that has never been played before, so people without so much experience can make it, especially on new maps.
Do you think you can take your first LAN win in 1v1 this time?
strenx: Yes of course I can take it, and I will do my best for it, top 1 is my goal, no matter what.
What's the drama between with winz & linkje about?
strenx: I've nothing with linkin, we are friends, nothing wrong with it, and about winz, my entire hate is cause of past, but it's too long to explain.
How have your preparations been in the build up to DreamHack?
Juvenile: Nothing over the top just playing alot trying to get as much practice in as possible
Tell us about the players on your team and their roles.
Juvenile: We just try and play as dynamic as possible, adapting to the situations as they play out in the game.
How have you had to adapt your play style to accomodate strenx into your team?
zeroql: he needs to learn more! ;D
Juvenile: didnt take to much effort the guy hits everything badabimbadabum
What do you think of the new TDM maps in the DreamHack map list?
Juvenile: couldnt have asked for a better mappool. some players have more experience then us on older maps so new maps fits us good.
zeroql: yes i agree with juvi babeeeh :D i think they are awsome! ;D we can ninja them easy ;)
strenx: I think the same
Are there maps you think should be included that haven't? If so which maps and why? Do you think some should be removed from the current map list?
strenx: nah, the actual map pool is pretty nice
zeroql: leviathan! :D we never lost that map
Juvenile: dm6!
zeroql: oh ya dm6!!! bring back dm6!
strenx: well ye dm6 was one of my best map in tdm
Are you feeling confident about performing well on your first big LAN tournament as a team?
zeroql: yes! i played in alot of lans back in q3 days so i am confident
Juvenile: well with no lan experience for ql on my part its gonna be interesting.
strenx: im always confident, and i have a lot of xp in lan
What do you think about your group? Who do you think will go through to the playoffs?
zeroql: yes, i think it easy group. METSU, Team Alpha; 4 Kings, xentorium; Serious Gaming, coman; Reason Gaming & DengiOnline.com.
Juvenile: colwn, srs, 4k, reason, us, xt.
strenx: alpha and action
Juvenile: ye alpha also...ah ye the russians as well
Where do you expect to finish? Top 3 predictions?
Juvenile: so hard to say really all teams got potential so cant say
zeroql: yea everybody can win whole thing but we will be happy with top3. Top 3 predictions - reason 4kings us .... but really depends on single elimination brackets in play off
FFA can win?
strenx: no but I have big chance to win the FFA :DDD
Why did you choose the name METSU (Japanese) rather than mič (Chinese)?
zeroql: ask prozac he named us...he is godfather of our team ^^
