After a couple of hours, SG.com grabbed hold of the tournament winner - Jens "JessE" Sjöbeck. We talked of course about the tournament; that his ego took a huge beating when he lost in the WB against Mireille. We also talked about what it was like being on stage and what he was going to do with the 3000 SEK he recieved in prize money.
First of all, congratulations to you victory. Did you expect this when you registered for the tournament?
- I always expect to win every tournament I enter and when I took a look at the surprisingly easy brackets, my confidence only grew. I still have to say that Mireille played pretty well against me in the winnerbracket finals.
- I felt happy for finally playing pretty ok, and of course save my ego which took a huge beating in losing the WB finals. Mireille was alot more nervous than I was on the stage which probably slowed him down alot tho.
- Sure does, nowadays I enjoy being on stage and playing big games for "big" money. Can't even remember the last time I was nervous while playing BW.
Were there any players that opposed a threat to you, apart from Mireille?
- Not really to be honest. But from what I've heard is that andydude alot better at Z vs. P and Z vs. T than he is at Z vs. Z.
- From what I have heard talking to
- It's not like 3000 kronor (even if they are appreciated) is gonna change my life . I really dont know to be honest. Might spend it all later tonight since I might have promised my teammates that in a moment of confidence lacking.
- It's a bounch of IRL friends who in one way or another ended up in Malmö, my town. We are sponsord by a Internet café called
- We had alot of fun. :)
- Yes I have been to DH before, can't remember which though.
I really hate LANs. I hate them and I much rather play tournaments at Internet cafés or whatever. But for being one of those I hate, I guess it's pretty.
- A lot more fun and exciting than in front of my computer with my CS team cheering for my opponent. A thing that might sound strange is that I loved the tables/chairs they had on stage.
As soon as I sat down and realized that I didn't sit in the awkward position I'm here at my spot, I felt the sense of victory!
- A lot more flexible then the CS admins, even if they loosed up a bit as the tournament ran further and further.
- Thanks, and thank YOU for hosting a tournament without any disappointments and for being flexible with my time schedule which was pretty hectic because of the CS tournament.
