GosuGamers King of the Hill fourth match is on the way! The Danish King Ciara will now go up against the Human player DeMusliM from United Kingdom. GosuGamers caught up with DeMusliM for an interview about him, his clan Serious Gaming and of course the King of the Hill match on Monday.
Hey there DeMusliM, introduce yourself to our readers!The match will be played at Monday 15th at 20:00 CET, with shoutcast and WaaaaghTV! available! More information as the match grows nearer.
- Hey guys I'm 16 from England and my Alias is srs.DeMusliM and I play the humans.
Why did you join Serious Gaming?
- Hmm, I saw Serious Gaming as a squad with a lot going for them, they have legendary players like Caravaggio who's past with gaming has been to the top of skill level, And then such players as Zerter and XlorD who have been around the European scene for quite a while with top performances. The lineup itself was missing a solo player, I felt as if I could fill that slot quite cozy. And of course I cannot forget Zubie, he's great for team spirit and very enthusiastic as well as a great 2on2 player!
You are quite the newcomer to the scene, your big breakthrough was at WCG UK. How come you're so good now, and not a couple of years ago?
- Well as you know, I'm quite young and back then I was only a youngster. Players like BoNd and Tillerman seemed to rule the scene in the UK as well as internationally. I also never knew the WC3 scene was so huge, the first I realised WC3 was more than just a game was when I saw ESWC pictures where FoV won 10,000 euro. : )
How do you feel with going up against MYM]Ciara in our King of the Hill?
- MYM]Ciara is not a player to be taken lightly. Even though he hasn't played so much these last few months he still remains as one of the very top Orcs in Europe and has shown this many times. He even used to be my favourite Orc player, and an idol back when I played Orc.
What made you switch from Orc to Human?
- Well I used to play every race back at the start of Frozen Throne. I never really found a race that suited me. I originally thought Human were quite boring and I wanted something that you didn't find in any other kind of game. So first of all it was a mix of Elf, Orc and Undead and I felt Orc were the strongest (I had a really bad PC in which micro was impossible, Grunts felt easiest to press a + move with). But I later found the Priests to be pretty imbalanced, I really liked that about them! You didn't need to buy scrolls of healing from shops etc to heal an army. I really liked that and I got a new PC which helped a lot with freezing screens, I came to realise that Human was the race for me.
What are the keys to your successs if you are to take the throne from Ciara on Monday?
- Well hard work always helped, the things players have to get through to even think about getting to the top is immense. And right at the moment I'm at the bottom of this hill where as Ciara is somewhere in the middle. If i did manage to beat Ciara I would class this as a very honourable defeat. But if I lose, it will be a great learning experience for me and I won't be ashamed losing to such a talent.
What do you think of the matches that are being played in our king of the hill? Terenas Stand, Secret Valley, Twisted Meadows, Echo Isles and Turtle Rock.
- Personally, I think the maps are pretty even for Human versus Orc. But if a Night Elf got hold of these maps there could be trouble. Maybe removing Secret valley for Treasure Island would be nice, and adding Gnoll Wood. But I think Terenas is a bit of a lamer map at this moment, if Human expo versus most races (bar Orc) it cannot be stopped. And the Night Elf abuse of getting 4 mercs is pretty insane. Before an Orc has two grunts is pretty pish :/
Finally before we end this interview, leave a message for your opponent on Monday.
- Hehe, well the only thing I can say is "gg gl" but really I just want him to fall off his chair just before every fight at the PC! Other than that, I wish for fun games and a set of even matches.
