VenoM Interview

 

Could you start by introducing yourself for the lovely viewers?

 

(F`VenoM) Hi, I’m Kenny Andrew, 19 years old, I play in forsaken as venom.

 

Ok so what roster are you currently using?

 

(F`VenoM) The team is currently: Atemi, Silva, Meth, Venom, Hotshot and Rain

 

How’s rain fitting into the side after the departure of Undone?

 

(F`VenoM) we haven’t played too much, but he’s fitting in well and we're starting to get some new tactics working

 

Good to hear :D                                                                                       

 

How do you think your team will do competing in the various competitions you are in, do you think your strong enough to perform like you have done in the past?

 

(F`VenoM) I think we've definitely got the ability, this is probably the best forsaken lineup I’ve been in, we just need to work on our team play as we're changing quite a lot.

 

You’re currently competing in ESL CSCL UK qualifier seeded #3 and progressed to the quarter finals where you’re set to face ants.uk, how do you feel you will fare in this fixture and the rest of the qualifier?

 

(F`VenoM) I would think we should win, but I’ve heard a lot about ants being good online, as long as we don’t underestimate them and get some practice in before hand. I think we can go all the way, despite landed and lc having good lineups.

 

Winning this match could see you facing choke in the semis, a clan you are all to familiar with, always providing tight exciting games do you think we’ll be in for another even match up if it occurs?

 

(F`VenoM) We've had pretty close games before, especially our game in EDIL, choke are a very good side when they are playing regularly and I think that this could go either way.

 

Moving on, you’re also competing in ESL’s instalment of a UK CS cup and are in the last 16 to face Played! When I saw this fixture I thought it might be one worth watching of the 8 matches taking place, do you feel confident you’ll progress to the next stage?

                         

(F`VenoM) I'm quite confident in a win for us, although they have a few good players like rapier and got a good 3rd place in EDIL, I think we are the better side, but its anyone’s game :)

 

Winning this fixture would see you facing off against Lastchance (I think!) in the quarter finals which would certainly make good viewing, do you think if this fixture arises you could bring down the #1 seed?

 

(F`VenoM) I wouldn’t say its impossible, and we have a chance of giving them a good game, we came close in csgn last season losing 14-16 with AdY winning some nice 1v3 rounds. If I go round Undone's and steal his mouse I think we could take it.

 

After these two competitions come to an end have you any other competitions in mind that you will be competing in, LAN or online?

 

(F`VenoM) We have a big lan we are hoping to attend, but cant be 100% sure until closer to the dates, we may be rejoining csgn, and we've got the clanbase uk/ie cup 3 to look forward to.

 

Aight that’s about me done, thanks for your time Kenny and best of luck to you guys, any shout outs?

 

(F`VenoM) Yeah, just like to say thanks to steelpad and 4k-gaming for the support they are giving us this year.
