NO.2882 | Date: 2016-01-29 03:05:03

 

GM Lucy:
2016 Winter Season Mini Tournament has ended and this
season’s champions have been declared! 
 
These teams met the challenge with determination, strength, and total confidence!
 
We have here today Ruroni, WoIfie and Viserion of K A S K U S crew from
Asia Server 
Also, New Rise’s X19, Barwen and Inadequate of EU server 


Another milestone in FS2 for VIP Crew of NA Server, We also have here
DPOTY, Anomaly and StyleZ.

The FS2 GMs had questions to ask the champs!


GM Dime: Hello champs! Before anything else, we would like to extend
our warmest congratulations for your spectacular run in the 2016
Winter Season Mini Tournament!

How was the tournament experience overall for you and your crew?


Barwen: Well, every tournament is kinda fun and makes you be a
bit worried about result. This one wasn't an exception. We were just
doing our best... even though this squad with SFwas taken just for fun :D
And for sure it's always good to win smth, even if it’s just mini tournament.
WoIfie:  It was super cool since KASKUS became the first
Indonesian crew to ever be FS2 Asia champions.

StyleZ: Fun. Tried SG,PF,PF for First time without practice and it
seemed like we were getting better game by game.

Ruroni: The tournament was so powerful for us man.
I really enjoyed the tourney and was so focus unlike
the previous one man that's why we finally won this tournament haha..
DPOTY: well im not new to this so i had to carry Tonio can’t get
replaced with a PF with 0 rings.
Inadequate: Every tournament we are becoming more confident
in our play and alsowe get a variety of experience by playing against
decent teams which help us to see and improve the mistakes we make.
Viserion: it was great ! We got blessed by many people. Not only from
K A S K U S crewbut also from another player, outside of K A S K U S crew.
I was so nervous in entire matches,it wasn’t because tense but because im
afraid im not good enough for my team. 
Anomaly: It was a truly joyous occasion. Just thinking about it again
brings a tear to my eye.
HaxlX19l: Personally, for me this was such an amazing experience.
This was only the 2nd tournamentI played on so I'm satisfied with the
outcome. Last tournament my team finished as 2nd placed team so
this is an improvement I must say. Even tho i didn't play many games
on this one(only 2) but the feeling of playing in the tournament was great.

GM Winter: Would you care to share with us your favorite experience
in the tournament? Have there been any favorite moments or
exceptionally funny /most challenging situations for you guys?

 
HaxlX19l: For me, my favorite moment was when i saw Dudi blocking
the Mateen'spull up for the win in the finals. I can't say much about favorite
or challenging momentsbecause everything youdo in tournament game
versus good team is you know sword with 2 edges, it can always backfire.
But about things that i hated was the RNG momentin the game versus
LGX when i played. Number of random shoots and avoid blocks that that team
had was just rofmlao. Personally i think that avoid block should be atleast
removed from tournament games (if not from the game overall)
because it's just the luckthat can win you a BO1 game sometimes.
DPOTY: when scrubs try to score on me i just smile and say another one.
it was an easy tourney win tbh.
WoIfie: When one of my friends cheered for us instead of the crew from
his own country LMAO. #RIPNationalism

Barwen:As for me, any 3 from a pf is just a disaster :D 
I'm so much afraid it will miss even with no mark. But when the ball went
in against Original team we all said that it's gg already. Same could be
in the finals againstLogic but our pf missed a no mark and our opponents
got back in game :DFunny moments? 4 avoid blocks ina  row from Mickey... 
Remove this **** out from tournaments at least already, that's so annoying.

StyleZ: I Enjoyed Every Moment of it, I wana thank VIP.
It was really hard we came out today with 0 Practice like 5 game tota
l in 2 week span, But im glad it worked out.

Ruroni: Yes I think the funny moment was when we met the
heart, ibob got stuck at 1:23 (2nd half) first game final which we
got score for free haha..
Inadequate:  The most challenging moment was playing against
Legendary X which got 4 avoid blocks in the first game of
semi finals :D #Mickey 
Anomaly:  Most funny moment was every time DPOTY missed
a block and catch.Most challenging was when we had a bad start
versus Anonymous.I thought my fate was sealed as the second round
exit once again. 
Viserion:Ok, i got one funny moment. When we face against
FF team with 2 PF and 1 PGi often guard under area but my position
is SF shrewd type. The enemy PF suddenly push me and my friend
after he scored, so we just keep it cool until on second match and before
the first half ended, i blocked him and blow him away to the ground and
i was doing laugh out loud ceremony, it was so funny.

GM Swift: Were there any teams/ matches in particular
that had you worried?  
And if so, how did you guys overcome them?

StyleZ: Winning vs Qnmlgb was really tough I believe everygame
came down to last possession.

Ruroni: Yes there was one. We were worried when we got to
face FREEFLOW. We were worried with their ping. We handled that with
prayer and high hope to win haha..
Inadequate: I personally was worried to play against 'CN Stars' teams
becauseof their high ability and knowledge but luckily we overcame
it by the fact that they didn’t reach the finals :D
WoIfie:I was a bit nervous when we met FREEFLOW in semi-finals
since they oncebrought us to free match channel with a lot of slow
motions on the previous tournament.But thank Zeus it went all normal
so there was nothing to worry about by then.
HaxlX19l: I was not worried about any teams that we played against,
but my team was worried about 2PF Original's team for some reason.
I was confident in my team winningthat match because i knew that
original's team couldn't play really defence correctly. In the last
torunament we were playing with the SG so we had a bit problems
vs good 2PF's teams but this time with SF i knew we wouldn't have
any problems. I also expected CN star's team to be in the finals but
Logic won them and i'm happy for that because i like Logic's player
way more, and also Logic is my crew.
Anomaly: Our Final match versus Xriss and his team was the
toughest for me.We gained a good lead in the second game
and kind of relaxed. They came back, and it came up to a very close
third game to seal our victory and attain the status as the ballers of the
century.
Viserion:There is one team that we worried but they not participate,
they were theprevious fall mini tournament champion, but if you talked
about the team that participate, it would be Free Flow, because
they were famous with their Lagging so we just afraid the match
didn’t work so well. But thanks to our friends support,
so we can overcome them. 
DPOTY:look me in my face i aint got no worries. i think about slip
everytime so i know who im doing it for so i got nothing to lose
anyways slip gonna leave me after anyways.

Barwen: Original team was the team that was able to put us
down since it was bo1 only and everything could depend on luck.
And for sure final games were pretty close against Logic
(huge respect to this team). Actually, we were thinking
about facing CN Stars in the finals, but Logic guys did
really nice job beating em.
GM Trifecta: What are your crew’s current plans after winning this tournament?
HaxlX19l:Can't say much about that. We're all from Logic, so i belive we're
gonan goback in Logic again. We changed the crew only to be able to play
in the tournament because we knew that only 1 team from one crew could play
Also we'd like if ranked mode is gonna be up soon because we liked it a lot,
and we have much better matches in ranked mode than in normal games,
so hopefully you guys enable it soon.
WoIfie: Actually KASKUS has been planning to recruit ballers that are
not just strong but also have attitudes. Well I think that's our current plan
besides practicing fundamental skills and improving our gameplay of course.

StyleZ:  Focus on Next Big tournament and just having fun.

Barwen: I dont know. Probably we'll come back to Logic crew :D
Wasn't decided yet.

Ruroni: Well we are gonna add more members and make
crew wars frequentlyto find crew exp to gain a ticket for the
next tournament.
Anomaly: DPOTY left the crew, I am on strike, and StyleZ is
currently controlling the game. Slip will carve the path for the
future as the new leader.
Inadequate:After winning this tournament we are ready to
win the next one just forour trophy collection.
Viserion:I really don’t know for sure, that’s crew master
problem not mine :D
DPOTY: like i said now that tonio got a ring with slip its time
for me to sit at the lobby and watch them dirty dance.
may even get kicked again or end up on another crew

GM Porky: Why do you like FS2? And what motivates you to be a top player?

Barwen:Freestyle is one of the most keeping you in pressure games.
1 mistake can make all your efforts useless. Even though sometimes its really
based on luck, that's what makes game unexpectable and interesting.
As for being a good player... I just love winning, nothing else :D 
WoIfie:  I'd definitely get rid of any other games just to play Freestyle 2 'cus
FS2 is the best sport (and mind) game so far IMO. Also, it feels extraordinary
to meet good friends from different countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam,
Aussie and Phillipines. What motivates me to be better is the super limited tourney
item rewards that no one else could never get.
DPOTY: i dont like fs2 i lost passion only reason i play is slip.
HaxlX19l:I dont know, i think i just like the game. I personally dont like
basketball much in real life, but this game is just fun to play in my opinion
so that's why i play it. About motivation, every game i liked and played for a
long time i tried my best to be one of the top players. For me self-improvement
is the most important thing and everyone should first look at their selves
and try to improve themselves before blaming anyone else.

Ruroni:  I love basketball. This game looks like real basketball.
Keep practicing and creating more tactics to improve our playstyle.

StyleZ:  I just Love Basketball, My fav sport by far.
Inadequate:  I enjoy playing FS2 because here you can create your own style.
I am motivated by my team because I don’t want to disappoint them when playing,
therefore I try my best to reach the highest level I can. 
Anomaly:I like it because of how perfectly balanced it is.
There is no P2W advantage like in other games, and the servers are
extremely stable. It's just a flawless experience, truly.
Viserion:Because since i was kid, i just loved basketball so much.
I played every game of basketball. And when i was in middle school grade 2,
i met K A S K U S player in FS1, we play together without age as restriction,
we joke together, we mock each other without hurting anybody feeling. Till we
become representative of Indonesia to compete at FreeStyle World League
(FSWL) 2012, Jeju Island, Korea, in the name of “Kaskus Mother’s Pray” and
now we became champion of Asia, so this is our achievement and we must hold
it with pride not shame. and i don’t have motivates to become top player,
i just played this game for fun and for relieved my stress, and if i loved it i’ll play it.
