-"My name is Titouan M. known as "Socks " or " Little94Brother. I live in Paris, France obviously. I played in all the Europeans leagues since last summer when I joined Tribal. I started playing in EEDL and now LDHL. I created NFO with Amyga and Maldejambes in October and and we found a sponsor one month ago and so we became BLAST."
Awesome! Mind telling us a little about your teammates as well?: Who they are and what roles each play.
-"First, I will introduce Maldejambes, the most famous player in our team. He is the drafter and our leader in game, he is an all-rounder. Amyga who is a rather old player who played in many different leagues. He plays the solo lane heroes, often in the toughest lane. After that comes 100kpm, our team's carry. On the other hand, Vladtepes aka " VT " is the main support player of our team. And finally me, who play solo lane heroes. Also, I don't want to forget to introduce our manager, Luciqno, who does a really nice job."
“
It was really important for us to win the qualifiers.”-"Well, we are really happy to win it. It was really important for us to win a qualifier and join the best European teams in the next stages of ROCCAT GosuCup and we will do our best to get some good results in the future."
Sounds great, so in the finals of the qualifiers you guys went for a fast push strategy but it didn't work out too well at the start. What was going on through the team's mind at that very moment?
-"Well, we tried to calm down, and play it safe: Broodmother was handling Batrider top, so we hoped that at this moment he could take the top towers fast, so they would be forced to help Batrider at top, allowing us take down both mid and down towers and make a comeback."
As underdogs I just have to ask this question: How do you think your team will stack up against the eight invited teams?
-"As I said we will try to do our best. We know that it will be hard, but we hope that the Pick League will bring us more experience against top teams, and maybe we will be able to take one of those big team down!"
“
I really don't want to play against TR, I'm a big fan of PGG.”-"Even if I hope we will be not in the same bracket as DTS, MYM, NWO, and LOST, I really don't want to play against TR, I'm a big fan of PGG ( DIVE IS NOTHING ), and their style of playing is at the moment one of the most aggressive in Europe and I don't want to play against that." *smiley*
We have a special invite in one of the seeded team: That team being Roccat.Trust. They are the only Asian team in the whole cup because they are sponsored by Roccat as well. How do you think they will fare in the tournament? They had a good run so far internationally.
-"I think they will be one of the favorites for this cup because they are really good as team, but I know that the top European teams can defeat them, and I hope that it will be the case."
“
The most important thing is to perform well and show a good image of our team.”-"Well it certainly does and it's the truth. We are underdogs and we know it, and this is absolutely not devaluing when you play against best teams. The most important thing is to perform well and show a good image of our team and of France DotA too." *smile*
Alright that's a wrap. Any final shout-outs?
-"First, I'm sorry for NA'Vi and Dendi's disco. We know that the semi final could be different if he didn't disco. I hope they will be able to join another qualifier and grab their slot for ROCCAT GosuCup. They deserve it. I want to thank all BLAST team for what they did for our team, and to ROCCAT for this Cup. Shoutouts to everyone who follow us, the French community and the whole GosuGamer's community!"
