Mint Featured on Cadred

Posted by: xilef



In the run up to i33, two of Mint's squads have been interviewed by the top eSports coverage site, and official press partners to Multiplay's iSeries, Cadred.org.

Firstly, Chenery of the CSS team was interviewed by Max "Goodeh" Silver. The interview discusses his preparation with the team, the stand ins they have been forced to use, and briefly touches on the ruleset used in the tournament.

Here's an excerpt from the interview :

So how come WilzOOO, who was playing with you at IG5 is not with you for i33?

Well, when we were discussing i33, it turned out WilzOO simply couldn't attend, and I am not at liberty to discuss why, so we called up our good friend HaZ who is always there for us, he paid for his flights and ticket so he was ready to go, and then WilzOO told us that it turned out the dates were kind to him and he could attend, but we didn't want to let HaZ lose alot of his money, and we knew Salvo needed mercs, so we told WillzOO that he could play for Salvo at this event, but only to impress of course!

Also, ChrisyB of our FIFA squad was featured in an interview about the upcoming FIFA 08 tournament on Xbox 360 at i33. it discusses the fierce competition at the event, the transition from the two formats and how he balances his preparation between both.

Here's an excerpt from the interview :

There are numerous other big names attending, such as dries from tek9, jivagos, somb, Vijay and HughJarse. Who do you think will make it to the podium, and who will get left behind the pack?

I would expect Dries to be very good, after all he is last years FIWC Champion which was on the Xbox and probably the first player to be looked at as Proffessional for Fifa playing on a Console. He has also won FIWC Holland earlier this year. I already know Vijay is a good player after playing him myself in an FIWC Qualifier. Somb and Jivagos are thought of highly in the Dignitas camp for their skills on the Xbox. Hughjarse as well is the current Xbox Fifa Champion on Xleague so the competition is probably as fierce as it ever has been at an i-series. I would predict the podium will be SOmb, Dries and yours truly in no specific order ;) with a few shock Knock Outs in the early rounds.
