Today i spoke with NORDLAND's captain, davestr1zl, for some insight on week one of CyberGamer Season 2.

After placing 3rd last season, the new lineup will be eager to defend there title in top 3.
What is going to make your team unique to maintain this position?

We're a pretty different team to last season, and wont be playing with alot of the experienced players that we usually do - But what sets us apart this season is we have a few newer players who are keener and active which is something we haven't had in 2-3 years.

Last season we played with a 6-man roster, with coop and lukeft no longer playing wtih us this season as they're playing with assthetics in blue league.
In their place we've subbed in chiz and ang, formerly from MB, and will be playing with a core 5 of myself, bl4nk, gamz, chiz ang. Unfortunately though gamz will most likely have real life commitments to attend to and will be unable to play for at-least the first few weeks, so benoR will be our 5th.

What do you think your team's weakest feature is?

Probably inexperience and lack of coordination as a team. In the past we've never been a structured team at all but we've always had the same group of players playing together for years so chemistry and teamwork was never an issue. Now with 2 new players we're back at the beginning so to speak and will have our work cut out for us. Hopefully our new found strengths will be able to balance it out.

Regarding your first game against Archaic.MSI, do you predict conflict in relation to the events at the DiceVIP Nationals?

Not really, we've already voiced any opinion we wanted and have nothing more to say. How they react to it (like at Dice Nationals) is purely up to them but i think they've probably gotten it out of their systems and i doubt anything further will eventuate from it.
The team is quite different to the players they mainly had an issue with, so i doubt there will be any problems.

Thanks Dave & Good luck to all teams.

	15. jakr_ 29/03/11 01:43pm
	#crate From what i can remember this guy sitting behind and next to definace think his alias was Boon was singing britney spears into the ears of defiance. Other than that was just banter from the 2 teams.
	16. Aequitas 29/03/11 04:39pm
	re the archaic incident... i merely asked during the match why toonz was so awful on LAN compared to him being amazing online and they didn't seem to take that too kindly. They tried to staunch us outside but embarrassed their families pretty much. Like most cs incidents its just all talk and a bit of fun. Jakr if you're the googly eyed guy you saw the whole thing outside unless those bad boys don't see straight. Here's hoping archaic decide to throw another 10k down the drain to come over and come 9-12th again, so good online but haha.
	17. motion 29/03/11 04:42pm
	Boons the main culprit from gameplex who abuses during scrims.
	18. PowerCrunch 29/03/11 04:46pm

	Will update scores when i get home.
	37. pandan 30/03/11 12:19pm EDITED
	#16: That's not it at all really (but yeah that was annoying) It was defiance(?) I think; whoever was running around telling everyone else that they were 'talking shit' and threatening to spit on people - just raging 24/7. No idea who that was, but it was just crazy and confusing. He almost started a fight with someone at one point. Total Mental EDIT: In his defense, I think he was drunk? No idea tbh!
	38. Aequitas 30/03/11 12:45pm
	i am defiance pandan and ur talking absolute shit. no wonder pacman slapped ur head dumb fuck
	39. chiz 30/03/11 12:48pm
	LOL Pandan... w0w..
	40. pandan 30/03/11 12:50pm EDITED
	Are you claiming that you didn't say to Woodz AND myself that you were going to spit on people; mid-rage? I think it might even be on video w/ people recording everything so yeah... EDIT: This is assuming defiance is the tall, light-coloured hair guy? I'll search photos to point out the guy who did this EDIT2: If this is you Aequitas http://www.dicevip.com/site/images/gallery/55/large/54.jpg then yeah, you ran around claiming almost everyone else was 'talking shit' about you and threatening to spit on people. I'll get woodz in here to vouch you did that.
	41. lc_ps2s 30/03/11 12:50pm
	yer ur way off base pandan
	42. pandan 30/03/11 12:52pm
	#39 & #41 - Maybe it wasn't defiance; but it was apart of the team sitting with Davestr1zl; I don't know all of their aliases - but that did happen, Woodz can vouch (he threatened to ban him from events if he did it)
	43. SeabeaR 30/03/11 12:53pm
	Lost the plot
	44. pandan 30/03/11 12:55pm
	#40 Edit2: If this is you Aequitas/defiance http://www.dicevip.com/site/images/gallery/55/large/54.jpg then yeah, you ran around claiming almost everyone else was 'talking shit' about you and threatening to spit on people. I'll get Woodz in here to vouch you did that.
	45. Aequitas 30/03/11 01:07pm
	yeh thats me and you're talking absolute shit. i might of said that about specific archaic players because they tried to act tough but got humiliated. you must be talking about day 2 though because i didn't even see woodz till then and this was after most of the 'shit talking.' Think moleman tried to say something but it wasn't a big deal so i can't remember. you're actually a moron pandan, no wonder you manage a gaming organisation rofl
	46. jakr_ 30/03/11 01:17pm
	ArchaicMSI.au 16 vs BestnLess 9 MindFreak.v30016 vs iMontana 10 Team-Exile5 16 vs Good&Nice 7 Sorry about the delay.
	47. pandan 30/03/11 01:23pm
	They got humiliated? They played pretty well actually; just couldn't finish off v300 or iM, which nobody else could either. Nothing I said was a lie, so I'm not at all talking shit. I don't know what alternate reality you live in; but it sure as hell isn't the one where everyone was wondering why you were acting like an idiot and screaming on day 1 qualifiers and literally, claiming that the guy opposite you should "stop talking shit" then when you played the next team that they should "stop talking shit" then when I saw you the next day that everyone needs to "stop talking shit" If you genuinely believe what you posted @ #45, you are bat-shit insane and need counselling mate, because you don't live in the same world the rest of us do. Honestly, I think you're trolling, nobody is that stupid.
	48. andymilky 30/03/11 01:34pm EDITED
	tell toonz 2 stop cheating online and i wont humiliate him next lan rofl
	49. Aequitas 30/03/11 01:40pm NUKED

	50. pandan 30/03/11 01:47pm
	You personally stood and yelled at the guy on the computer opposite you, LOL. I can't actually remember how many times you used the phrase "stop talking shit". It would have to be in the hundreds, no joke. For all those saying toonz cheats online; $500 cash in hand to anybody who actually proves it. I'll pay your teams expenses to the next DiceNats. I've watched him plenty and the best I've seen is coincidence. Seriously, if he's cheating permanently ban him; if you can't prove it and he doesn't - move on.
	51. lc_ps2s 30/03/11 01:48pm
	rgL was really the only teams that there was 'shit talk' with the entire day ... besides defiance calling toonz online (who cares?) I wasn't there on sunday but weren't you commentating in your lovely fnatic shirt like you had any idea what was going on lmao
	52. Aequitas 30/03/11 01:50pm NUKED

	87. pandan 01/04/11 10:58pm
	I'm waiting on the demo to be given to me to redo the OT (you'll remember my net dropped after the ot.cfg fail) If you really want I can upload everything right up until the d/c just to prove I was shoutcasting...
	88. chiz 01/04/11 11:51pm
	I don't remember you dcing but yeah if you could upload the shoutcast that'd be good.

	94. pandan 02/04/11 02:11pm
	25 minutes remaining on encode; I'm estimating a ~800mb file which means I think 2 hour upload? We'll see :) If anything, this will at least prove I wasn't ghosting, I don't need to do that. As you keep saying - "toonz is cheating anyway", so why need ghosting? LOL P.S. The offer still stands if you prove he's cheating. I genuinely don't believe it :)
	95. chiz 02/04/11 02:37pm
