After the old Insignia Cadre CSS team folded, many people believed that Jonssen would soon return to Cadre, as part of the new team, and it was quite a surprise to many when the new team was announced without him in it.

To that effect, we spoke to him about his new team and his plans for the future.

Jonssen’s Statement: After cadre.css folded, I wanted to keep playing, so I decided to create a new team. I started looking for players, and Fate was the first guy who came to mind. Then owa- approached me, saying he planned to move from 1.6 to source. Before long he had brought nashje and kononen with him, so I decided to test these 1.6 players on how they could adapt to playing source. These guys really do have the right motivation, and we have great team spirit right now. From now on, we are practising hard for the CGS qualifiers!

IC: Right, can you tell us a little more about the background of these 1.6 players, as they are pretty much unknown to most of the CSS scene

Owa-'s, nashje's and kononen's team (Temptation) were ranked 3rd at Assembly 2007. Also, kononen has come third at rixhack, 1st at Dreamhack, and has played in multiple CPL events. Fate has also won several lans.

IC: Your team has been together now for two weeks? How does it feel to play CSS with new players?

I'm very excited. I wasn’t the "leader" for almost 2 years, and now I need to take care of that. I like them because they still have a similar style of play to what they had in 1.6, very calm, handling rounds differently to people who have played source much more. Thanks to them I'm also learning some new stuff.IC: What kind of future plans you have?

Currently our only and first goal is to qualify CGS Europe, and for that we have prepared very hard: lots of practice. Of course we are looking for multi-gaming clan if possible, and if we don’t, we'll try to establish our current name!

IC: Are there any LANs in the short future where we could see you in action?

Yeah, we will try to attend Assembly Summer 07!

Thank you Jonssen for this interview, we wish you luck in CGS :)
