iFEARdilemma's Overall Prediction - SK-Gaming Captain

[img|right]http://deman.co.uk/images/aefpics/ifear.jpg[/img]Without mentioning our team I would make this list:

1st - Dignitas
2nd - Fnatic
3rd - TEK9
4th - eSuba
5th - Team EG
6th - MYM
7th - Roskilde Ravens
8th - Pandemic
9th - NCS
10th - KomaCrew

Reasons for my predictions

There are too many awesome top teams who are able to reach the first rank. The only team I really see as favourite is Team Dignitas, because of their changed style to play the game. Dignitas has changed, you will see!

A few words from the man

As the captain of SK-Gaming CoD4 team can you introduce yourself

Hey my name is Andre "iFEARdilemma!" Merzinsky and I am addicted to CoD4. I am 20 years old, actually going to school and a part of the esports scene over years. Everything started with games such as Doom or Quake, you see I followed every step our sport has made in the last years! And now I am pushing my team as good as possible!

How do you rate your chances at AEF and which other events will you be attending this summer

We will attend the Antwerp Esport Festival and the Experience LAN, both events will be awesome without a doubt and everyone is happy to meet the other teams face to face again since its a while ago the last LAN event was held. I cant rate our chances as its best to be rated as underdogs but what I can tell you is that our team is able to beat any other team on the LANs. The potentiall surely is given, now its up to our mood and luck.

You've had a few line-up issues over the last few months, now things seem settled do you think the team as a whole has improved?

We definitely have improved a bit allready but it will take a bit more time to feel the full outcome of our changes. Everyone is really confident and working very hard. We are known as an extremely agressive team," team ak74u" but with our recent changes we gained the ability to play rather slowly aswell. In CoD4 its important to be unpredictable and this is our strengh.

Have you bootcamped at all for AEF and if so with which teams?

We had the opportunity to bootcamp but it didnt fit into our personal time plan so we didnt bootcamp at all. But we are playing CoD4 the whole day! So we shouldnt have a disadvantage.

Should TosspoT do a new series of eSports Weekly Naked?

What? Tosspot + naked? And that weekly? Sure he should!

Any Shoutouts!

Shoutouts to everyone who knows me as I am to lazy to list loads of names here! :p





sM!Tty Overall Prediction - Speed-Links Sneaky Sniper

[img|right]http://deman.co.uk/images/aefpics/smitty.jpg[/img]1st - Team EG - They're a top team and could surprise with some tactics that aren't known here

2nd - 10th: Will be fought out between Fnatic, Dignitas, H2K, Komacrew, Esuba, SPEED-LINK, TEk9, Team Pandemic and Reason Gaming.

There are still some other teams that could get into the top10 but I'll stick with this and I can't really make a proper order.

A few words from the man

For anyone thats missed QuadV's coverage of CoD4 the last few months can you please introduce yourself?

Hi, my name is Tim Ebert aka sM!Tty! Im 21 years old and playing cod4 for Team SPEED-LINK.

With such great online performances and then a disapointing iPower event, how will you manage the pressures on LAN at AEF and what do you think your teams chances are?

the ipowers was a mix of unlucky events like losing 4x 3on1 against mym or starting 3 times as attacker on crash but we are quiet confident that we can do better on aef. were having a bootcamp the upcoming week to get ready for aef and hope we can surprise some guys on lan.

Theres a lot of top snipers attending the events, who will you most look forward to facing in a duel?

i hope for a duel between blackmane and me but i also would like to face stevy again because our fight at ipowers wasnt that satisfying.

Have you or will you be bootcamped at all for AEF and if so with which teams?

Like i said before we'll be bootcamping from monday till wednesday at the roccat center in Hamburg.

Should TosspoT do a new series of eSports Weekly Naked?

TosspoT? dont know this guy :P I still don't like him after CDC4!

Any Shoutouts?

Shoutouts to my teammates, to Roccat for renting us trigger and to quadv for all the awesome coverages.
