After his success in inCup yesterday with the account "OrcischeatinG", the rather unknown Swede KnOfF has joined Praetoriani's roster.
After being in clans such as Don, ToY and eGp he has now joined Praetoriani. The player we are referring to is Fredrik "KnOfF" Knopf, an Orc-player from Sweden. Despite being known for his potential in the Swedish community for quite some time he has never been noticed in the international scene - until yesterday.
Participating in inCup with the account "OrcischeatinG" he managed to defeat the well respected player Grubby amongst others before he lost to Satiini, the overall winner, in the semi final. This sensational victory opened the eyes of several clans but it was Praetoriani that drew the longest straw and recruited him today.
The Swedish Warcraft III site Gamingeye.com conducted an interview with him, which we were allowed to translate into English:
You can start by introducing yourself to the readers.
- I'm Fredrik Knopf, 17 years old from Uppsala. I study computer science at IT-Gymnasiet here in Uppsala.
How did you get in contact with Prae?
Prae's roster
Paladyn
Mamoru
ThurisAz
Tharkas
- I've wanted to join them for quite a while and I've felt that it would be the right team for me. I asked them for about one month ago if I could join but got rejected but after proving myself over the past few weeks they changed their opinion. They asked me if I wanted to join after yesterday's inCup, where I played well.
It sounds that your wish became true then. How does the future look for your new team?
- Hopefully it looks very good. We will play leagues like NGL, WC3L and the German Premier League. I hope to develop my game as much as possible and hopefully reach the same level as the best players. I will get a lot of good practice now, which will improve my chances to develop and at the same time I have Spittie as manager and Tharkas as a team mate.
We hope for many Swedish wins by the Swedish players then. Do you want to give any shoutouts or say something to the Swedish community before we end this very exclusive interview?
- I want to thank many of the players that has supported me and been giving me advice. It's thanks to WE.Hotlips and Spittie that I'm in Prae now so a big thanks goes out to them. I also want to say hello to one of my little goblins that supports me and pushes me further when it's needed - I'm of course talking about Zivvi!
Though I think it's sad that people like Xine, Tobbe and Kiske complains only because one likes to play a lot.
