Interview with Ciara

So, you're back in the MeetYourMakers International team. What does this mean, concretely?
- I hope this means I'll be given a chance to prove myself, of course I need to actually practice again to be given a spot. But I'm ready to put the time into it. So time will tell if I get the chance or not.

Many have said that it is very hard to enter an all-Korean lineup as a foreigner, but you have been in the MYM team for a very long time and shown to be a valuable player in the MYM shirt - don't you think yourself that you should have earned a spot?
- Well maybe at my current shape the guys in the lineup are better at the moment. So it's only fair that they are first choice. But practice makes perfect and maybe if I improve enough I'll be given a chance or two to prove myself valuable to the team.



Were there any doubt for you whether to continue in MYM or join another organization?
- I'm not one for switching team easily. I've been in MYM ever since I started playing for real almost, and had my shares of offers but none that could have made me switch. There are always some parts of the deals that doesn't fit me well, like maybe players I didn't work well with or contract that seemed kinda weak for what they were asking.

Well, anyway, in the official newspost it's said that you are to work as "backups" for the Korean players - wouldn't it be more satisfying to be able to play in WC3L and NGL-ONE in the main lineup?
- Yes, but I think this "backups" is cause of current shape of me and Konna and this should mean we are given a chance at some point to prove ourselves among the Koreans and if we don't screw those chances up too much we might be given more play time.

Has your contract changed in any way by joining the international MYM division?
- Not sure I should answer this or want too, but I've always been a little different from the rest of MYM.Sca when it comes to contracts.

Is the Danish/Scandinavian scene going down that much that it is not worth having such a squad? What are your impressions?
- Hmm, I don't think the Scandinavian scene is going down at all. But the Danish scene been dying slowly. Once all the old onces like ysk Bjarke and Kaj left, there just haven't been anyone to replace them. And the community seems to be dying slowly too.

But there are loads of talented players out there from the Nordic countries, and I'm not thinking of the Danish players. If you were the one making the choices, would you have kept MYM.Sca?
- Eh, hard one... The current shape of the team in general was too low and people didn't seem to be active at all. I think it was gonna come to this point eventually.

What would you say was MYM.Sca's biggest success?
- This WC3L qualifier actually! We manage to make it to last round of Wc3L and lost to team fnatic which I think was expected. Though it kinda saddens me to think with some luck we could have beaten them. ThomasG was out on vacation and would have taken MyWa's spot against Rob - which is his best matchup. And Konna kinda made a stupid TP in 2on2 and same time he played 2-1 vs XyLigan where I think he should have won the first game which he lost.



You recently won the World Cyber Games in Denmark - did you doubt that you would end up in first place again?
- To be honest I was counting on winning. I said no to going on a trip to Spain with school because of the Danish WCG qualifier. And I had already paid it, but I really really want to go to USA so I could not miss this chance.

The only player who won a game versus you was SquiRReL - are you unthreatened in the Danish scene?
- Actually I think i got lucky since ThomasG lost to Wralth since I hate playing against him. I think he is really good against Orc and he practice it a lot to beat me. and I can't say I didn't get a little happy seeing him lose to Wralth. And SquiRReL played really well in the first game and I was completely caught of guard and he took the game easy.

Lastly, what do you wish the most right now?
- I really hope the rest of former MYM.Sca get into clans worthy of them and they don't settle for nothing less. And that Konna would get his ass into gear and quit his massive whine about Elf and Human!
