Welcome Hornyz. How are you finding the event as a whole?
I am quite excited that so many teams have arrived here, and it is a very good atmosphere here, everyone is friendly with each other, and its fun watching the first games.

There are a lot of people stood behind the computers, and it is certainly going to get busier. But will that effect you, having so many people stood behind you watching your screen? Will the pressure get to you?
Well probably no, I am used to it, I have played at a lot of different events at different LANs in the past, so it is OK for me.

How are mTw as a team feeling in the run up to this event. Are you at the top of you level at the moment?
We just had a boot camp, from Tuesday to Thursday night, so we arrived directly from the boot camp here. Our preparation was really good.

What are you hoping for this tournament? Are you looking for that number 1 spot or is top 3 OK for you?
Of course everyone is looking for that number 1 spot. I am happy finishing top 6 or top 8. Of course beating one of the top teams here would be awesome, and I hope it is going to happen.

Obviously the first thing you need to do is get through the groups. You only got a 2nd tier seed, but how do you think your group games is going to be?
I think our group is quite hard as we have a lot of opponents, strong opponents. H2k are the top team in the group, but also HF are quite strong. We just played them online and we had a close win against them so we know they are very strong. I am not sure about DOK gaming. I have heard they are quite strong so I am going to see.

Do you think you will beat H2k?
It is hard to say, we have lost to them in nearly every online cup in the past 6 months. I am excited about how it is going to be on LAN. If our hit reg is better right now here, because I know that the Swedish internet connection is better than the German one. So I am quite excited, it's going to be fun.

A lot of people have said that you are going to be the team that LAN crumbles and do a repeat of OOF3 and TeX. Does this put a lot of pressure on you to perform.
Some teams have said that we are really underrated here. They're saying that we should perform, the online team. Everybody knows that we're going to do well this time, and we have better support with ThundR right now, he is a good player and fits in the team well. I think we are going to do better this time.

This is the first major Crossfire event for CoD4 for a while. How are you finding it as an event?

It is awesome. Having around 46 teams is really awesome, it is the best CoD4 event ever. It is just a great atmosphere.

Is it nice to have a lot of other teams here, allowing you to put names to faces? There are a lot of German and Polish teams as well which is good.
Actually it is not a surprise that a lot of German teams are here, as Netherlands are our neighbours. We have seen a lot of UK teams here, that I am excited about, also some unknown ones which is good.

Just a few short questions. Who are your favourites?
I think it is fnatic

 

Which team are going to "fail" the most and end up in a lower position to expected.
I think it is hard to say, but I think Power Gaming will fail this time.

What team is your underdog team?
I think it is going to be Loaded.

Thank you very much for the interview, anything else to finish with?
Thank you for the interview and have a great time over here. This event is going to rock!
