Heading into the UB Semis against [tdM]Trademark eSports, your team was a heavy underdog against the two-time Hon Tour Diamond Champion and reigning World Champion. What was your mindset?
We hadn’t been practicing as everyone was busy with Christmas holidays etc. so we went in with the mindset of nothing to lose. We all had been playing plenty of HoN with the inhouse league and matchmaking so I knew everyone was in top shape though.
Ever thought you would be able to defeat them in that convincing fashion?
No, tdM is a very strong team. Don’t worry Mynuts. We still have the utmost respect for you guys.
Was the win in anyway special to you and your team as you broke the streak of Trademark?
The win was more special for the team finally getting things coming together rather than Trademark losing.
Speaking of potentially special matchups, the Winner Bracket Final will see the first
head-to-head match between sLiCKz and his old team. Are you going into that with any extra motivation or is it just business as usual?
It would only be suiting if sLiCKz was to draft against us. (”The gauntlet“ laid down?)
To be honest, playing against former teams when you know their playstyle is quite an advantage. [sG]Stay Green has really become strong and there is a reason why they are in the Winner’s Bracket finals, but it just business as usual for us. Another day at the office, so to speak.
