Humba — Howdy, guys
I know that I promised to post this interview every Tuesday and Friday, but I’m tired of waiting! YES! In this part of “Summer Interview Madness” we are going to talk with the second place of the recent Experimental Ordnance Cup #7 – myRevenge. I’m afraid that I cant talk to Haunter, because he’s busy this week, I wish him good luck. Instead I’ve decided to talk to stuntz, another player from myRevenge (also known as Concept). This post is officially taken over by Portugal. They’re everywhere!
Good day, stuntz! Congratulations to myRevenge for the second place in the Experimental Ordnance #7! Did you enjoy the cup?
Hello Humba!
It’s always good to take part in such events, this way we practice and have fun at the same time, like bumping into walls because you were sure there was a door somewhere.
From the beginning it was clear that it would blow our minds because playing a map that we all know, mirrored, is even tougher than playing a new map for the first time. Wit this, we get the feeling of familiarity and yet it is a completely different setup. However, I support the initiative of experimental Cups by the admins, and the rules being ETF2L Vanilla + Medlocks + Equalizer.
Can you give us a short introduction of your team?
Our previous name was Concept and it started out like one, getting a few players from the same country and try to battle it up to top tier TF2. I give all credit to Haunter for putting a lot of his time, effort and sweat into this team. The roster is me and XiuUu as scouts, Haunter , Kalhó and Hurricaner as soldiers, Neff and Alphazen as medic and t0da as demoman (they are all ). We’re currently representing myRevenge Multi-Gaming org.
Was it hard to play against SNSD?
About the game, we had Coinz calling and t0da countering the calls, so playing like that is hard by itself. We didn’t have our main team playing, the “feel” of the game is different. I think if we had our normal setup (and t0da had dined) the result would have been better. -Not taking any credit from SNSD of course, they are all good players.
How did your team get ready for the cup?
We just thought it would be fun to play in the mirrored maps. We didn’t actually practiced the maps that much, just a late night mix and then we played the cup. I guess that’s the fun part of these experimental cups you sign in, play, try to put up a good show, and have fun.
What are your plans for the 10th Season? Will you play?
Sure, we will play. For the 10th season we are confident that we can put up some good games, as a team we are still quite recent compared to others who are already accustomed to the demanding level that is required, where any mistake can often cost a round or even the game itself. I hope the vanilla ruleset makes a comeback.
What is your opinion about Free 2 Play system?
It has certainly attracted a lot of people to the community of TF2. I think now It is up to us teach the newcomers and integrate them in the best possible way. Of course not everything is good news, the accounts are free and there is always the usual retarded spoiling the game for others, if there’s admins this problem is set aside with some efficiency. Now the game is free and everyone has access to it, so we will soon see in a few months if it stabilizes or plummets. If the latter – well I hope we still get to enough teams to keep leagues running. This has already been covered by Torden with much more eloquence and it sums up my point of view as well.
Could you please wish something briefly for the readers?
I wish a fresh stack of beer for you all :D
Thanks for interview! Congratulations again and good luck to your team.
Thank you Humba! Cheers!!
That’s all.. for now. Next interview will be on Thursday/Friday. Stay tuned.
