PMS or Pandoras Mighty Soldiers have decided to form a Warcraft 3 squad using their "brother" company - H2O. Alex "SainT" Pagan has been selected to manage this squad along with some famous names from the North American scene added to make the team look attractive.

While the last player is fairly unknown to the entire scene, the management promises that the talent from America will make it big through the experience they can provide him.

In an exclusive interview with fnatic.com, Alex, the team manager speaks about the teams ambition and his players and he also reveals some more information about the team like an impending trip to South Korea!

Hi Alex, you've been a manager in the past, managing teams like TmG and InT, where have you been?
I took a break from the pro scene doing normal stuff like working, hanging out with friends and family all that good stuff.


So why are you back?
I've always loved this game and I really couldnt stay away from it any longer ^^


What is this new team that you've structured?
Looking at all the current teams in the pro scene there was really no american team at all, a few american players here and there. I decide to gather the best of America and form a team under the H2O/PMS Clan.


So tell us something about your lineup and the players you selected?
Shortround- By far the best US player of all time. After been away from the pro scene for almost 2 years and having such an amazing WC3 career he comes back just as strong as he left.
Technoboy- An incredible Night elf player that trains almost 24/7. He has improved so much in the past few months and no one should understimate him
Canuck- Our UD player from Canada. Former member from the team U5, has a lot of experience in the international scene and LAN tournaments.
Holyhuman, A great HU player that amazingly for what I have seen doesn't need to mass tower to win a game! He has a small bit of experience in the international scene but you guys will see more of him!
Mekka - New American orc player. He is a newly discovered prospect. Right now he is the weakest in the team but with time the experience will come!


From what I can see the team has some great names but as of now, it's lacking in achievements in the last 6months~1 year... Do you feel there's a hurdle there?
To be really honest I do think so. This players for the most part have not been in a team for a long time, so they haven't had the chance to get into big tournaments online and offline, and H2O is giving them that chance


With the dearth of tournaments in the USA, is this is a wise choice to invest in the American scene? Or will you be planning on bringing these players to a house in China to compete in local tournaments?
Why not invest in the america scene, the scene is not completely dead there is still tournaments to be played even if is just 1 or 2. And even if it dies completely we are going to go to the tournaments outside USA to represetn H2O. We also have a trip to korea coming soon.


So how was real life?...a trip to Korea! Tell us something more about this.
Real life kinda sucked, I am still in the military serving my country! Its hard but someone has to do it right?. Some of the players are going to Korea to boot camp for 2 months with the pro players from said country, they are even helping them out to get a nice place to stay!


Could you share with us which of these players are going?
Technoboy and Shortround are going to Korea to boot camp.


Moving on, What are your aims for the next 6months?
For the next 6 months we would like to qualify for WC3l, play in NGL and hopefully qualify for LAN events such as WCG and ESWC.


Nice. As we conclude this interview would you like to add anything?
I just want to wish all of the H2O.WC3 good luck and I want to give thanks to the H2O/PMS team to letting us join. Thanks to all the readers and you too Mr.Noname


With the interview done, one can only speculate if a certain Canadian Orc player or an American Human player might join their ranks to turn them into a bigger crowd favorite!

Awesome! I really hope this team and especially Shortround turns out great! I feel that now already they could take a spot in the NGL-two!

GL Americanos!
