Sup guys! First off as usual we just want to give a HUGE thanks for joining me in our interview, but for the readers everywhere in the whole wide world who don’t know you (a crime itself!) can you introduce yourselves a little bit? Fittske: Herrow! My name is Love Brändström currently living in Stockholm sweden. I am 19 years old turning 20 this year (F*CK YEAH) and I am currently between jobs so to speak ;). I have been playing hon for about 1½ years but didn’t start playing "for real" since this January. I’m the support player in Lions-eSports and recognized by my fierce myrmidon! MyNuts: My name is Johan Andersson, I'm 21 years old and live in Uppsala, Sweden. I'm a full time student at Uppsala University where I study to get my masters in computer and information technology. I've played HoN since early beta but never competitively up until about a month ago, when we started playing tournaments as ADON.

“ Fittske: Before I played HoN I played some DotA on semi high level, played in some in-house leagues but didn’t really get anywhere with that” “ we started playing together under the tag ADON. After our very first tournament game, against MSI, we were contacted by Lions.” Fittske: Online-Kingdom is a Top5 team so every match vs them is a challenge, we came off with a bad start in the first match of the bo3 and we lost our momentum from the previous round of the qualifier. In the second match we picked up Monkey King and surprised them and MK was able to get really fat and win us the game. In the third match we were not sure what to play and we went for the 1-2-2 line-up (as legion) with the MK again, but this time they were able to counter it and pick up the win. We are still a new team and all matches we play are important to make the sponsors happy and also our fans, so we were disappointed that we lost for the second time in the semi-finals in the MSI BEAT IT tournament. MyNuts: Two attempts and two semi-finals loses, we should probably be satisfied with that. But it's always annoying to fall on the finish line. Just like in the last semis we end up choking and not playing the way we usually do, which is the downside of being a new team. We just have to get our **** together and win the next one.

| | For those that do know the e-sports scene fairly well, Lion’s eSportsKlubb(?) is an extremely well known organisation - how did you guys manage to snag up such a good sponsor, would you be able to spill any of the things they might have promised, and why the hell is Klubb spelled like that? MyNuts: It's a Norwegian organization: P Well, as stated earlier (?) we started playing together under the tag ADON. After our very first tournament game, against MSI, we were contacted by Lions. I guess they saw potential in us when no one else did. But I do think that WE GET IMBA KEYBOARD FROM QPAD as well as other nice gear! Fittske: It’s a Norwegian organisation so I think that’s reason, but we changed the in game name to "Lions eSports" :) Fittske: I think it's awesome that something as big as NASL picks up this growing game into their business. Hopefully other events such as ESWC, WCG and so on picks it up as well. Like I said before I see a lot of potential in this game and I hope that it keeps going like this! PiIIows: Any opinion from MyNuts? MyNuts: nah, not really :D what he said +1. <img data-cke-saved-src="https://static.gosugamers.net/ba/00/d6/5c49adc3e5de132bd0b60c8580fa1d3a8953d75e27e698a5880dd16dcf.jpg" src="https://static.gosugamers.net/ba/00/d6/5c49adc3e5de132bd0b60c8580fa1d3a8953d75e27e698a5880dd16dcf.jpg" style="HEIGHT=" 200"="" width="300">
Skyzoe, Unknown Superstar?
Are Lion’s going to be participating in any other tournaments? I have noticed that there was a Lion’s cup with many well known teams participating; From the brackets it looks like you will be up against WHP5, how are you guys planning for that game and how do you feel about them as a team? MyNuts: MSI BeatIT qualifiers, obviously, Twitch.tv challenge Round robin and Lion's cup are the ones we're focusing on at the moment Fittske: WHP5 is an awesome team with a really solid line up so they are a team to fear. As for the match up vs them tomorrow we feel confident, we have some aces up our sleeves so to speak! ;)

As a new team that just exploded into the scene (...quite literally)! Heroes of Newerth has always been a scene where the top teams mainly switch players around and we rarely see new upcoming players and teams, do you have any advice for new players looking to break into the competitive scene? MyNuts: It's not difficult to become a really good player individually, if you put your mind to it. What's hard is to find players that you enjoy playing with, so if you find someone hang on tight. Fittske: It's not difficult to become a really good player individually, if you put your mind to it. What's hard is to find players that you enjoy playing with, so if you find someone hang on tight. What are you guys favourite heroes to play and why? MyNuts: Myrmidon, It’s a fish, it can’t die and again it’s a fish. Fittske: I love Balphagore, because I've never lost a competitive game with him.
“ MyNuts:Myrmidon, It’s a fish, it can’t die and again it’s a fish.”
Fittske, one of Sweden's finest!
