Six WC3L Q's to fnatic\Noname

Congratulations for once again being a part of the WC3L teams. Did you expect to stroll through the qualifier?
- Thanks, it feels good considering before the qualifier I thought we sorta deserved to play it since we played really badly in the last 4 playdays of the regular season. I think the first match against iP I was quite confident we'd just beat them on lineups and thats what happened. Although it looked like a close 3-2 score it would have been 3-0 if Sats' game hadn't been postponed.

Overall the game was fine playing with Abver wasn't the best choice but hey I didn't have many active players to use then. Hooligan lost because of his vodka love and well that game was too tight for comfort. I think vs Tek9 we did a pretty straight forward victory, maps were fine and sadly for Axslav he got UD on SV vs Rotterdam and ended up playing Human against him on LT which was bad since Rotti was practicing only against human at that time.

I think the only disappointment was losing against BeT, since we could have taken the game 3-1 but ended up losing 2-3. I think it shows that having big names on your sheet doesn't mean anything. The last game vs MYM.SCA was fine, we knew we could take it with little difficulty.

The only bad matchup for us was Ciara vs Elfi, I would have liked to use Satiini there but oh well it's all good. But yeah, on the whole, the qualifiers went as it should have, we're going to up our game even more once we begin the new season.

And how are you planning to 'up your game'?
- By recruiting 2 elfs and kicking RotterdaM/Rob... Haha just kidding ; ). I think by giving a fair amount of chance for everyone to play and by making sure we can take as much points from the lower teams as possible. For team spirit it's always good to use everyone, thats why you saw us trying out elfi/satiini and Rob/XyLigan for the last game.

The qualifiers were a big testing ground as far as our 2on2 problems were concerned. As for the qualifiers we also made sure we solved our 4th player spot and managed to get some more team spirit flowing with the addition of Rob/Naniwa. I think with these talented bunch of players we're going to do something special this WC3L.

What is your take on the competition in the WC3L? Which team do you fear the most/least?
- The competition is very strong this time and it's going to keep getting harder to make it to LAN finals, but this time with so many Asian based teams with some strong players vying for a spot I must say that it's a little scary. I think we've fared pretty fine against the best of them except for WE.IGE. So I would say they will be a hard opponent.

As for least afraid, I guess it would have to be ButterFly-Gaming. We're just here to win and do our best in each game, so we're prepared almost. Let's do this!

Noname, dressed up and ready for WC3L.

Lately, there have been a lot of rumours considering it's the 'silly season'. Names as Deadman, KnOfF and even the 4K stars Grubby and ToD have been 'placed' in your team. Any chance we'll see a new recruit for the upcoming season?
- Hmm... I don't really think we're planning on picking any new players, it's a good feeling to pick up Grubby or ToD for your team but then I'd have to sell off the others ;)). Jokes aside I don't see why knoff would fit our team, is he bad mannered? Then maybe!

Ok talking serious stuff, I don't believe we're gonna pick up any more players but you never know ;) If I could pick one player from the current lot to fit into fnatic it would have to be Neytpoh, and that's not because of his SW4 performances it's because we've had an eye on him for a while.

How are your players doing right now, shape-wise?
- Well their all practicing their guts out, elfi plays a lot more since he's free now. Rob and XyLigan are the good ol' Zadrots for the team, as for Satiini he got some of his motivation back and practices a lot more, Nani is preparing hard for the GameGune tournament and Rotti is our rising DOTA star.

So overall the team is doing quite well, you see all of this coincided with the qualifiers so there was no way we would not have qualified. As much as I'd like to be diplomatic, we did have the better players against each of the teams we played against in the qualifiers.

Okay, thanks a bunch Elroy. Any last comments?
- Just a warm Hello to my players, Kevin, Mati, Samuli, Robert, Johan, Mikhail and Alexei. Also would like to thank our sponsors Everglide and Razer, and yes of course thanks to you.
