KaaZ became runner-up last DreamHack after losing to TreK in the Grand Final. This time, he is certain that once he reach the finals, he will win.
- Nervousness has never been a problem for me, KaaZ says.
KaaZ is one of the top notch players from Sweden attending DreamHack. GosuGamers grabbed KaaZ for a pre-game interview, where we got to know a few things. Read on!
You arrived to DreamHack earlier today, how is the festival spirit coming along so far?
- It's alright can be annoying when people are shouting like maniacs from time to time, but that's LAN ^^
Heh. How was your travel to Jönköping?
- I traveled here by car with two friends so it was fun, we played word games and told stories :D
How do you rate your chances in the tournament?
- They are quite good, however I didn't expect Draco to come here so I didn't train as much Zerg versus Protoss. So he could be a problem for me but hopefully not. There were also rumours that FiSheYe would come but it seems not. It's also not very comfortable to play here so I hope it doesn't affect my gaming to much.
It went alright last year's DreamHack, runner-up after TreK. Do you think that your past DreamHack experiences gives you any advantage?
- I came second last tournament after choking in the finals. The experience was valuable and if I manage to get to the finals again I will win.
Should nervourness play a part for you when playing on stage in the final?
- Nervousness has never been a problem for me so it won't be a problem, the problem last tournament was I just couldn't get my game straight and not being able to keep focus.
Okay. Well, good luck in the tournament!
- Thanks!
