Speedlink Trigger talks to Crossfire about how where and why the CoD scene has been in such a state of flux competitively, despite one of the most active competitive scenes.
Speedlink have possibly been the only team to have enjoyed a period of dominance in the CoD2 scene, from Netgamez 2005 to the TeK-9 lan this Summer winning Eurocup along the way. Speedlink ruled the roost whilst many others struggled to find their feet. Dignitas lacked compassion and consistency, TmG (check6) were still infant in their road to glory so it was left to an infallible Speedlink to reclaim their place on top of the pile that they once had under the Ocrana brand in CoD1.
Wonderbase, all be it without the Germans, crowned the 5th different champion (logitech) in 5 straight events. These teams that have risen to fame and glory have come at the expense of Speedlink and the germans have been knocked back down to ground. So why has this gone on? Where have our lovable Germans gone! And what the heck is going on in the CoD2 competitive tree!
Why do you think you haven’t won since TeK-9?
Screaming yyyunnnngggs doesn’t have the same effect anymore?
Does it ever cross your mind to change players?
Speaking about you personally then, how does each defeat effect your motivation? You say you've contemplated quitting, did this ever cross your mind after winning TeK-9?
Now for CoD in general, when Dignitas beat you at Crossfire it looked like they had what it took to evolve and grow into a dominant position. What went wrong for them?
Serious, DigitalMind, TeK-9, can any of these go on to win the next event over you or dignitas?
Does this not motivate you as a player and as a team to improve and a reach and even harder goal? One maybe that hasn’t existed in cod1 and 2 before
Who do you expect to see win the next event? (lets just pretend all the big names are going)
What are your thoughts on the current play style of CoD? 1 Map MR15 is in this interviewers opinion, unfulfilling to CoD's potential, do you agree less MR and more maps? And if so how many from each
