Why did you choose FF.X-Fi?
We did choose for FF.X-Fi because of their great support, both online and offline. Exactly what we were looking for, since we are aiming for CPC 3 and further lans.

How do you measure their playing in cups and lans? Is FF.X-Fi just an online team?
It's just great. I really respect them. FF.X-Fi isn't online only! As you know they played at the PGA LAN in Poland and at the Crossfire PrizeFight Challenge #2 in Enschede. I'm looking forward to play with a FF t-shirt at CPC 3!

Will new players like you radically change their playing style?
I hope so. Well the previous FF.X-Fi squad (Wrobel, wiesiek, JC, r1co, S4rna and sMi) wasn't that bad either. But in my opinion you can compare them with zerobarrier (mesq, lio, snot, dNzl, ziff and zeto), we were also good but with this line up we never could beat teams like Dignitas or TLR. Anyways, after some praccs with the current FF.X-Fi team I’m sure we will do great in the upcoming cups.

What do you think about wrobel and wiesiek?
Me and lio know Wrobel and wiesiek longer then today. They are both amazing guys. Wrobel will handle Field Ops. He is playing so nice as Field Ops, surely one of the best ET Fops. On the other hand we have the damage-man wiesiek. He will handle medic. For him, you can come out of everywhere, nP@wiesiek.

Why have you decided to change the lineup?
We did not plan to change anyone, but after CPC2 me and wiesiek wanted to change team to more European. We had several propositions but we’ve decided to creat our own new team. We will still play under the name of FF.X-Fi because so far they gave us a lot of positive support.

Why have you choose these players and what do you think about them?
Mesq and lio helped us a lot in creating new team. At CPC2 they showed themselves from very good side, and with their experience and will to play they will be important point in FF lineup. Blaze is very good as engineer, he aims in teamplay, not only for frags which positively helps our game. De57 is also experienced and similar to blaze he’s teamplayer. As for JC, he’s great friend, and person which solve all problems.

Do you think it will change you playing style as team?
It’s logic that we will play different. From old lineup only 2 players left so our game will radically change. I only hope that it will be better.

Will you not have problems with communicating each other? So far you were team with only PL players.
We shouldn’t have any problems with comms. The big plus of this situation is that we will avoid so called “polish whine” which will give positive effect to our game

What are your plans in nearest future? Any special cups or maybe lans?
We’ve signed up for Cadre cup, and we will try to show some nice skills there and gain some experiance. Our key objective was to make team which will be able to go to the lans so PGA2007, CPC3 and next EC will hopefully be our next big competitions.
