i33 : Beta Interviewed
@ i33 channel

After a succesful IG5 tournament, and a lot of hype after their inclusion in Cadred's Euro Top 10, Ebuyer are one of the biggest up and coming teams in Europe at the moment. Cadred spoke to Thomas "beta" Hanna in the lead up to i33.

Although you're the 3rd UK team to be seeded, you've been placed above teams like Alternate Attax and Multigamer. How do you feel about your 7th place seed?

I'd say its fair, not sure about Multigamer, but the recent attax lineup has yet to attend a lan with any real top teams. Don't doubt they're good but im not sure where they're getting their rep from unless they're smashing everyone in pcws.


At IG5 your gameplay throughout the tournament was pretty impressive, with players like crazycat really shining. Do you think you can replicate this at I33, and how has your preparation gone leading up to the tournament?

Preperations been steady been trying to get a few tactics sorted and iron out the silly mistakes for every map and i know we'll be a danger to any team on any map this event, just simply down to shooting faces and we're pretty good at that.


There was a bit of a problem with you guys and Mint at IG5. Is there any bad blood between you guys in the aftermath, or is it water under the bridge?

I think its on the level of agreeing to disagree. It'll be a good game to watch if we do play them, they'll be a lot more in-game banter thats for sure.


With one of the biggest turnouts in iSeries history, who do you see taking the podium positions this time around?

Judging from recent pcws i think literally anyone in the top 12 seeds COULD take it. But i reckon 4kings and salvo are pretty likly to make the final 3. If they don't I'll be issuing them my "online" badge!


In the 9th-16th seeding pool, six of the eight are UK teams. Can you see any of them turning heads and upsetting some of the Europeans?

Definitely, lot of the UK teams here to show they're made of. Although i think its more likly to happen on the less commonly played maps aka contra/mill there should be a couple of upsets here.


Cadred wishes you and your team the best of luck in the tournament, and thanks a lot for the interview.
