mymTw: Do you like the current event location more than the one from the Grand Final of 2007?

mTw.AMD|guddo: "I' ve been here in 2006 with whimp, back then it was a bit difference - all matches was in the big hall, which is not the case this year. CS matches are played separately, and they made the big hall exhibition hall with a big scene and some small scenes. Compared to last year, I would say this year's location is better. Last year all games (including exhibition area) was in one big hall. It easily became noisy."

mymTw: How was the tournament's progress from your point of view so far?

mTw.AMD|guddo: "Unfortunately we couldn't close the game against eSTRO and had to get through by points. It's still Best of 1 map, which can become dangerous in the final matches. The other groups showed that (fx. MYM out). Admins is handling things very well, they are helpful and tries to communicate their best. Of course there will always be things which could have been better, mostly according to the rules."

mymTw: What went wrong against eSTRO?

mTw.AMD|guddo: "I don't think anything went wrong. We started out a bit unlucky, stepped up our game and came back smoothly. As mentioned above, we had some troubles closing the match leading with 2 (15-13, red.)."

mymTw: What's your prediction for the upcoming matchup against Team ALTERNATE?

mTw.AMD|guddo: "We met them at SEC earlier this year and lost marginally. They played good and had some really lucky deciding rounds at the end of the game. After SEC (with whimp just joining) we have improved a lot, which I think we proved at KODE5, and I'm sure we will beat them tonight."

mymTw: Do you think Roccat is a potential participant for the Final at the Masters after they took an amazing first placement in their respective group?

mTw.AMD|guddo: "After lurppis left the team, the players really showed their individual potential. They played good at DreamHack and really showed what they are capable of today. They deserve their spot at the Grand Final in San José, and maybe they deserve a spot in the final down here - I'm not the guy to just that. Unfortunately for them, we are facing them after we beat ALTERNATE - so they are not going to play the finals :D"
