| Your style of play is that of the big numbers fragging aim-based player who outskills his opponent thanks to confidence in his abilities. Despite that being a style so many fans and young players try to emulate it seems like it's taken for granted now that there is only one, two at most, of those kinds of players in any great CS team. Yet in fnatic you seem to have become vastly successful in spite of going against the grain of that common wisdom. Can you think of any other top team in CS history who were able to win major tournaments and had as many of those type of aggressive, aim-heavy players in one team? What do you think it about fnatic's approach which allows that setup to work? I can't figure out any other team that had that so I guess we are the first. It has always been said that you only need one "madfragger" max two, one sniper, two backup and one in-game leader so I guess we are the first one without that kind of line-up. We have tactics of course, but I think we have only "simple" things and not really any hard ones where you need good flashes and so on. We've got our things and we know about the other team, what they are doin' and we are trying to figure out what we should do to own them. Looking at your style of play people could draw comparisons to things which reminds them of players like zet, HeatoN and f0rest for example. Have these or any other players influenced your game and if so what have you taken from their styles? I have always watched other players and maybe "taken" some of their playing style. I have always looked up to HeatoN, cArn, f0rest and other players. Maybe running and shooting from f0rest/zet and always that fake flash from HeatoN. Does f0rest's status as one of the great players long before you got to the top mean he'll always have extra mystique to his game for you or do you feel like GeT_RiGhT can become the best player in the world if he practices and plays hard enough? Well I think I can be that good but as long as f0rest is playing I think he's a better player then me :P |
