Many people consider Eq going into a slump after they have placed 2nd at ECG, your thoughts on this? Do you have anything to say to the supporters?

No we didn`t get into a slump, that is what people see maybe :). I can only say that we will satisfy our fans in this year.

It seems like you have practised a lot, and prepared well. I have heard some rumours that Eq haven`t really practised much at all, do you know anything about this?

Yes you heard well, we didn`t start practising hard again because we don`t know for sure when is the next LAN event. When we will know, i asure you that you will hear that Eq is getting as high as it can.

Can you list out whatever you have achieved in 2006?

hmm, 2006 wasn`t a good year for Eq because we took only second places maybe worse , and because of this we want to make 2007 a better year for Eq-gaming.

From 1-10 how would you rate the success rate of Eq of 2006?

hmmm maybe 7

Were you invited by any other teams while being in Eq? Why did you choose to stay?

Yes i was invited to many teams but why to join them if i am 2nd place ? And Eq is a single style team and is my home :)

How does it feel to stay and practice in the Eq ? You never get bored?

No, i never get bored because i have great teammates IRL and we start joking and stuff, to not get bored :D.

Can you tell us a bit about the structure and investors in Eq?

I don`t know too much in the early of 2003 when Eq won ESWC Qualifier and their succes in that year and after. I joined Eq in 2004 and after practising a lot we won ESWC Qualifier in 2005. Eq was in all this time supported by ForteGames iCafe with money and free practice, and after winning 2005 eswc qualifier, we won steelseries as sponsor and soft-supplier.

Describe your mates shortly and briefly with a few words of your choice?

Ok, i will start with my best teammate , ferdilicious. He is the kind who gets as many frags as he can in a big match. Bandi, the most persevering player i`ve ever known from Romania, Shadow is the oldest Eq player and experienced too, he can get a match to the end. And kamikazE the awp of Eq at this time, he is a little bit crazy and when in his day, you wouldn`t wish him on server.

How well do you know the players outside of the game?

I know them very well because we spend some time togheter.

Are you still friends with your former teamates (SeDaN, j0kEr, leVi, etc.)?

Of course we will always be :)

Can you briefly describe your team`s manager to us?

Our manager is Rhythmiser, nobody did whay he did for this team , he is a great guy who you can talk with as a player. He got us sponsors and spent a lot of time working for Eq :).

What do you think is the formula for a good CS team and what makes Eq a good team?

The formula was always good, the reason for not wining is that some of us had problems and not being serious

Who else do you have a good relationship with in the Eq Organization besides the CS Players?

With all of them, staff , etc.
