Playz showmatch #1

[s]event[/s]

Any new showmatch series is always interesting, but this one has some added interest as it will be hosted by a new it cafè in Stockholm, Sweden. The match will be shown on a big screen in the cafè and the replays will be available afterwards.



72b67cf1a0a089128700149b72dee9bf3f6a67ba7cda227f1638eba40fThe it cafè in question is the newly opened "Playz" in Stockholm. If you happen to live close, check out the link at the bottom for more information. The showmatch will be best of 11 and will be played between Norway rS.Mireille (picture) and Sweden ZpuX[MGW]. This will be the first one of several showmatches. It is set to be played on the 11th of February at 13:00 CET. Playz is organizing the showmatch together with rS.Mireille, who has a deal with the cafè about playing showmatches etc for them.

GosuGamers caught Norway rS.Mireille for an interview about this and more.

Hi, lets start with name/age/location, and then move on to some more fun stuff

Emil Niklasson, 17 years old, Stockholm in Sweden.

You used to play in the swedish clan eye, but now you joined rS. what happened there?

Well there was just a big mess at the end. Our clanleader left us without telling us anything, many members where inactive and we were all tired of playing in eye without a leader and players enough for clanwars. So we all left and now I ended up in rS.

Ok, now about Playz. You said in the news you wrote on Gamingeye that they had a deal with you about playing at their establishment. What exactly is this deal and what are you getting from it?

Well the major deal is that I get to play there for free as much as I want to. I consider it as good practise for offline events to play at playz while having many people around me at the same time. And about the showgame and tourneys in future are plans that me and the manager of playz decides about.

How do you think you will do in the showmatch vs ZpuX?

I think there will be pretty hard games, but since it is a best of 11 I don't think we will play Terran vs Protoss only. We have decided to have some fun and play the matchups we want to. But of course we will play some more serious TvPs and I really think its impossible to say who is gonna get on top. ZpuX has a better record then me lately so very hard to say.

Is there any chance there will be non-swedish players invited there to play showmatches? Or will it be an all swedish affair?

Well since its only for the fun we don't really pay people to come and play, but if someone will visit Stockholm in the future it's just to get in contact with me and ill manage something there is already many Swedish players that have been interested in the showgames.

I saw you played the 3rd kickoff tournament here at GosuGamers. What did you think about how it was organized, the level of the players etc?

Oh I think it was great, really fun that so many participiated. Too bad I didn't have so much time for it since I had to babysit my little brother at the same time.

You play for the Norwegian national team in nation wars, but you often use the swedish flag on websites, why is that?

Well the thing is that I was born in Sweden while my mother still was living in Norway. So I was born with a Norwegian citizenship. Basically i've never lived in Norway, only for a couple of times with my Norwegian relatives. So I live in Sweden and speak pure Swedish so that's why I sometimes have the Swedish flag.

I think that's it. Anything else you want to say to the ggnet readers? Or anyone else.

Starcraft 4 ever!

Ok, thanks for the interview and the news tip. Good luck vs ZpuX.


Gosugamers wishes Playz, Mireille and ZpuX the best of luck for this and future showmatches and hope for some good games.
