2011 is a year of change in Team Fortress 2. New teams emerge, Old teams fold, Roster changes.. I say, a major mess.
With the arrival of spring comes a new team from Portugal. Apparently Haunter is back and better than ever ! With him selecting the very best of Portuguese players to accompany him on the adventure that is the Premier.
Since Haunter, Stuntz and T0dA have Premier – Div 1, a lot is expected, not only for being the first Portuguese team to participate in Premier, but possibly the first team to participate in Lans.
The new lineup is:
Volum (Medic)
Stuntz (Scout)
XiuUu (Scout)
Kalhó (Soldier)
Hurricaner (Soldier)
Haunter (Soldier)
TOdA (Demoman)
- Vaskie
We caught Haunter to see how everything went from TCM to the new Portuguese team.
Vaskie – So Haunter how does it feel to make a full time comeback to TF2 ?
Haunter – 5 months without proper gaming was pissing me off ! Even though I don’t have the same amount of time, it feels great to relax during the evenings now with games.
Vaskie – How has it been to play with a new group of players when you were used to play with TCM for such a long time ?
Haunter – It’s not exactly a new group of players. After all the TCM games, I used to play some mixes with them so I have a really good relationship with the guys. In game its not the same but everyone is really motivated to learn, I think it will be a good thing for everyone.
Vaskie – What are your expectations with this new group of Portuguese amigos ?
Haunter – It’s always great to play with the guys and I’m expecting to get some good results, especially with the extra motivation of having a full portuguese roster. I’m also expecting to share some of my knowledge and boost them to the top euro scene, after all the dedication they have I think they deserve it.
Vaskie – In other news, was it expected to see the change on Coinz from Soldier to Scout ?
Haunter – Coinz is equally good at both classes, not really expecting that he would be playing scout for his new team but it also doesnt surprise me.
Vaskie – As for the future Nations Cup, are we going to see this roster on it or are you going to bring some new players to the Top level?
Haunter – We already have new players joining the top level: Kalho, Hurricaner, Volum and XiuUu never played in the top divisions and they will join the nations cup, not running away from your question this will be the roster plus Coinz for nations cup.
Hurricaner also had a say on the future of the new Team.
Vaskie – How does it feel to be brought to the Top level of TF2 by such a big name as Haunter ?
HurricaneR – It obviously feels great to have the chance to play at such a high level in tf2, especially with this team as we all know each other well and have a very good team play. If we go to div1 in season 9 I think we’ll put up a good fight and hopefully go to prem next season
Thanks to Haunter and his fellow amigos for allowing this to be published. Good luck and Have fun!
