This will be a series of articles featuring the teams that makeup the CEVO 6v6 League. Please enjoy and rest assured that if you compete in CEVO, I will be interviewing you. This time we have Swag Pantalones!
Meet the team after the break!
Could you please introduce your team (Names, Positions, Roles,etc.)?
LaZkY - Pocket Soldier & Team "Leader" used to make the calls, but hasn’t been active much, ex-mge star.
Shootist - Roaming Soldier makes calls with med, mge star.
Dane - Demoman usually a passive demo
liko - Scout HUEHUESHOT 8) aggresive, mge star.
b_ (churro) - Scout passive, protects med and demo
bella - Medic & Team “Scheduler” clicks people and pop ubr, ezpz! Scheduling is the most difficult task.
How did your team form or come into existence (Explain the history of your team)?
Liko and I (bella) were looking for a team, and he contacted LaZkY. Then we picked up shootist, churro, and Bored1238. Due to school and League of Legends, Bored was placed on backup and we picked up Dane.
How did you handle the members who didn't mesh personality wise?
We all mesh together, never get mad or anything. We really lucked out.
What do as far as practicing and getting ready for matches?
Regarding scrims, do you schedule teams above your skill level, around your skill level, or below?
It’s honestly up to whoever is posting on IRC. It’s not good to /just/ play teams below your skill level. It’s also not beneficial to /avoid/ teams of a higher skill level. It would be ideal to play a team around our skill level (GET BURNT SON, much?) but due to different timezones and schedules, that’s a wee bit difficult. I hope other teams are doing the same, regardless of league standings. See you on the battlefield!
Who is the funniest person? Who keeps the team focused?
Shootist keeps the team focused with his love for anime. Always working on ways for us to improve as a team.
Dane is very comical and keeps team spirits up with his jokes and when he plays guitar / sings for us in mumble.
liko is very spontaneous, but a boss because he puts holes in his own ruler. As well as throw eggs on neighbour’s porches.
LaZkY is never here so it doesn’t matter.
b_ is the best pregame pyro, and has the best swag on the team. usually quiet unless it’s about some sport game.
bella is the Fashionista. ( Seriously. Come to me if you’re unsure what to paint your hat. Here’s one of my happy customers http://steamcommunity.com/id/Danesir/screenshot/631861657141566696 )
What are your future plans?
ESEA S11. CEVO Vanilla (maybe). ETF2L (bella).
What have you enjoyed best about CEVO?
CEVO client, although has creepy noises and says “goodbye” on exit, always works. Another thing to love is that CEVO is free, and a really good place for newer teams to start out.
What would like to see improved in CEVO?
CEVO, not only do you need to revamp your website, but you need to make scheduling more easy. It’s irritating when you can select a day to propose for the match, that surpasses the round date. Or, it’ll say that you’re scheduling for obscure, and the comments say you’re playing granary, and the team page has it highlighted that you’re going to be playing gravelpit. You need to be clear when the deadline is and what map is going to be played. This is so teams know what they need to do in order to prepare for a match!
I do think that you’re going in the right direction by hosting a vanilla tournament. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out, and future events.
Dane - Money so my mom thinks that I’m not wasting my time.
What do you guys like to do when you are not playing TF2?
Shootist - Watch anime, ship Naruhina and Rei/Shinji
liko - WATCH CSI YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH
LaZkY - I have a girlfriend.
Dane - I have a girlfriend too!
bella - Dane doesn’t have a girlfriend.
b_ - swag. school. sports.
What do you guys like best about playing tf2?
Hats.
Anything you guys would like to see changed about with competitive tf2 play?
Teams sticking together. Also more vanilla-style play.
