Have you ever been to Cologne? How do you like it here?
No, it is the first time I am here in Cologne. We arrived yesterday, so I did not see much of the city yet.

And gamescom? Did you already have time to visit some booths?
Unfortunately not, we went right to the ESL area to warm up for the ENC matches. But from what I have seen, the convention is really big.

You are here to play in the ENC. What does this event mean to you, being able to represent Sweden?
It really means a lot to me. I have put much time and effort into CS and I´m glad it shows.

Do you believe you can win the tournament?
Yes, I think we have a good chance of winning. We have a good team. I think we will face the German team in the final.

Did you prepare anything special?
No we haven´t really prepared anything special. Still I hope we can do well.

The EM Supercup will also take place. The ESL pushes it as "Tournament of the Superlatives". Rightly?
Well I think the tournament needs more famous teams to call it one of the biggest competitions. But of course there are good teams there. I think it would be better if there were more teams attending.

Does SK still belong in the group of the best teams in the world?
I think they will always be ranked quite high up, they are just not number one right now.

After defeating them at DreamHack, you said you don´t rate yourself higher than SK. Now you managed to beat them for the second time at WCG Sweden. Did your opinion change? Are H2k stronger than SK?
Well, both matches have been really close ones. So it´s hard to say if we are better then them or not. But I think we have proved to everyone that we belong to in the top groups of teams and teams have to see us as a top team.

Will you be attending the WCG Grand Finals? You need to pay the costs yourself after all.
We don't know yet if we are going 100%. I Guess we have to wait and see.

Last question, which team will you be cheering for at the Supercup?
I don´t have any favourite team really. But I think fnatic will win it. They have found a great playing style and I have a hard time seeing the teams beating them if they play as they have in the last tournaments.

Thanks for your time Johan! Any last words?
I would like to thank our sponsors in H2k. Thermaltake, Spam-energydrink, Azerty and SteelSeries who make it possible for us to compete with the top teams. And good luck to the teams in the Supercup!
