Our first CoD interview will be provided by Mark of dignitas. Having just gotten in from a 7 hour delayed flight, he's kind of tired, but here we go!
How're you finding the lan so far?
Well, CDC4 was probably my favourite of the LANs i've played at, and things seem to be going just as well so far. It's still early though!
How do you feel you'll be coping with the competition?
We should be looking at a top 2 place. Our group is quite easy i guess, with one of the teams having dropped out, so we should make the playoffs.
Who're your main opponents in the tournament?
Button Bashers are likely to be our strongest opponent.
Which team do you want to beat more than the others and why?
Button Bashers since they won The Game LAN last weekend and this is an opportunity for us to get revenge.
What do you think you're chances would be against Button Bashers?
We beat them recently in ESL Major Series, but we've got Will in place of blackmane now, so things could go differently.
How will missing blackmane affect the team?
He's an amazing player, but it does mean that we've got a different playing style now since we have Will in place of him now, which may be beneficial in that teams won't know what to expect.
Why did you choose Will?
He's a great player and fits in with the team as both a player and a person.
When the pressure's on in your most challenging games who do you think will pull you through?
raz since he's the most experienced, but the clutch player tends to change every game.
Who in particular do you want to see perform and why?
Lookzor, since he didn't play very well at the LAN last weekend.
Is there any particular player or team you think will surprise?
Vicious and Evil if anyone, since they've been playing a lot recently, and a lot of teams will underestimate them.
Who do you think you will learn the most from this LAN?
Probably Button Bashers as a whole. They practice their nading a lot, and we will probably learn something beneficial regarding that.
Is there any particular player you don't look forward to playing against?
Stevy, since he hits everything, particularly on LAN.
How do you think the release of CoD5 has affected the CoD4 scene?
It hasn't changed much - There were a lot of people who had their hopes high and got disappointed. The game is slow, the maps are bad...The game is bad.
Even with the financial investments in CoD5 do you think people will stick to the CoD4 scene?
Yes, on the grounds that it's simply a better game. We can only hope that UK ESA will invest in CoD4 since it's a much better game.
