Instead of Gaming Advanced, I have chosen to make a little blog for the upcoming event on Danish soil later this week!

Right now I'm sitting in Roskilde (30km from the Xperia event) preparing for the biggest event in Denmark since SHG back in 2006 where Made In Brazil won against Pentagram. We have decided to make an online bootcamp which means we basically play CS from 4pm to 12pm. And as you guys know the weather has been awesome lately, so it is with mixed emotions to sit here in front of the screen and play while the weather is as it is outside. However I can't wait for the event on friday, and I hope it will be a succes, not just for us but for danish esport in general.

We have prepared extremely well since we made a schedule on which maps, what kind of tactics, how we want to play and against who over the past 3 weeks. We have decided to focus more on our own gameplan this time, rather than our opponents. At Intel Extreme Masters Global Finals last month against NaVi we felt we knew how they played, and that we had good control over it. Our own game on the other hand was failing a bit, and sometimes it's just good to make your own tactics right than try to counter attack your opponents moves.

As many of you know NaVi won't attend Xperia Play, so I am obviously happy that they are out of the way, but I can't help feel a bit dissapointed not meeting them in a Semi or Grand-Final. I heard that Zeus is becoming a father, and we in mTw wish him the best of luck with that. Without NaVi we must admit that it is absolutely the top who is attending. Mousesports who wasn't at Global Finals are coming, and I have a feeling that they will surprise people. We have practiced against them, and they look to be doing quite alright at the moment. Regarding our fellowfriends from TCM-Gaming I can't say much since they have somehow chosen to boycot practice against us. I don't really understand it, because then they should boycot all the teams attending then? It's not even sure they will run into us.

SK-gaming, fnatic, Frag-Executors are all contenders and doesn't need extra explanations. I think SK-gaming has had enough time to prepare themselves for this event, and if they doesn't shine I think they are having problems to  be honest. I was interviewed back in Kiev, and I was defending them for not qualifying for the Playoffs, but now they have had four months to get everything straight, and now it's the time. We expect to finish top three as always, but personally I want a final, and a win in that final. We always finish 2nd and 3rd because of NaVi and there are absolutely no excuses for not winning this time.

I also hope that the Danish audience will help us reaching our goals, since their backup and cheering would mean the World to us!

I want to thank all our sponsors for making everything in 2011 look brilliant! - Vote for us at eStars Seoul when that vote is official! - And thanks to Roskilde eSport for once again letting me sit at their club preparing for CPH Games! :)
