| Interviews: | ||
| Q: Congratulation for reaching the Final, once again. Season by season France is one of the strongest candidates to the Gold, but did you have Australia in your mind as a candidate at the start of the season? | ||
| Klad: Well, thank you, at the start of the season i think everybody have a different opinion about candidates for the final, i mean there are so many things which affected the nations cup and the game. But australia is a strong team and i can only love it. | ||
| Q: For very first time we are going to have 3 not European teams in the Nations Cup top 4, what does it means for you? | ||
| Klad: European teams lost so many players during this year, everybody know that the game is dying. But i don't know the reason that there 3 not european teams which are in finals, maybe europeans lost their skills. | ||
| Q: Since we knew the semifinalist, we expected a high ping final. Certainly Australia is the worse opponent in this situation, are you going to have a different train for this match than the previous ones? Training against the bronze finalist or something similar? Or is that just impossible due the time difference? | ||
| Klad: For sure, australia is the best, high ping, team but we have already faced them during some cws and scrims and it's not a problem for us. Well, at the moment, it's hard for us to train, somes of us play other games, we do our best to be ready to face australia. if it's possible to train against brazil or usa, it can only be benifical for us. | ||
| Q: We are almost done with this cup, after check all the season, is there any team that has surprised you, for good or bad with their performance? | ||
| Klad: I think all of us were surprised by the performance of at-hu, they trained hard to go far in the competition and they did it well. | ||
| Q: What do you think about the Final, who's your favorite and why? | ||
| Klad: Of course, i see us as winner but i want a close match like bronze final, i want something to propose for viewers for the match. | ||
| Q: To conclude, as everybody knows the activity of Urban Terror is decreasing, few weeks ago Frozen Sand announced the new game engine for UrT HD, what do you think about it? | ||
| Klad: Finnaly they showed us something about the game. We can only be proud of it but it's time to keep forwarding on this way and make everything to keep this game alive. I have a message for all of the players which are leaving the game at the moment, all of us loved this game for his fun, competition, and gametype. Kiss to tryhards on cs and co. See you and thank you. | ||
| Q: Thanks, Good Luck and Have Fun! | ||
| Q: First of all congratulation for reaching the Final. If I'm not wrong, correct me if I'm wrong, in your first season you reached Quarterfinals (I remember it because you beat me in playoff round 1), during the second you reached the Semifinal, and this one you are in the Gold final. Are you going to wait until next season to win the the gold or do you have planned to do it this one? | ||
| Shans: Cheers. I'm pretty sure in the last 3 years we've place 5th, 4th and 3rd respectively, so it's quite fitting that we should now make the final. Of course we're going to try our best to take the cup down, but maybe we're destined to come 2nd? We'll have to wait and see. | ||
| Q: For very first time we are going to have 3 non European teams in the Nations Cup top 4, what does it means for you? | ||
| Shans: Doesn't mean anything in my opinion. If you had to rank the top 4 teams in the cup, even at this stage of the tournament, these definitely wouldn't be my top 4. This year the top half of the bracket just ended up a bit stacked. No disrespect to USA and BRA though, they've played very well to get here and definitely have impressed me with their ability. | ||
| Q: Season by season France is one of the favorites to win the Nations Cup, what do you think about them? | ||
| Shans: CTF isn't a real gametype. | ||
| Q: We are almost done with this cup, after check all the season, is there any team that has surprised you, for good or bad with their performance? | ||
| Shans: SA has been the team that impressed me the most. I wasn't expecting much out of their new lineup but they've been doing really well. Mostly a CaMar0z carry though... this guy. AT-HU also did very well. | ||
| Q: What do you think about your match? Do you expect to have a 3 maps final? Are you going to train Bomb & Defuse? | ||
| Shans: Well we're already 1-0 down before the match starts, so we're going to have to play pretty flawlessly if we want to take this thing down. We've been struggling on austria recently, and if we can't pick it up, that same performance isn't going to get us past France. If we do manage to put up the austria W, though, I think we're favourites in bomb. We've been picking bomb maps all season and we're feeling comfortable. | ||
| Q: As everybody knows the activity of Urban Terror is decreasing, few weeks ago Frozen Sand announced the new game engine for UrT HD, what do you think about it? | ||
| Shans: Looks amazing, but I'm not convinced it will keep the UrT "feel" and it probably won't be released for a few years. It it all works out and gets onto steam, though, my life will be complete. | ||
| Q: To conclude, tell me a message for your opponent | ||
| Shans: Don't pick CTF... we've secretly been training it all along. You'll be sorry. | ||
| Q: Thanks, Good Luck and Have Fun! | ||
| Q: What do you think about the Gold Final, who's your favorite and why? | ||
 CaMar0z: France is certainly not unstoppable; they are really just this year's favorites by default. France has the largest, most active community so obviously they are expected to come out on top. CTF should be a pushover, but TS/BM will be where things get interesting. Australia has been playing with the same lineup (at least 4/5 of the lineup) for a few years now so they have better TS teamwork (sit back, bait each other, travel as a blob, zzzzzzzz) than any other team in the cup. If the French team was as active as it was last cup I would say they would win 2-0, but it seems that players like Tiger and Spidy have not been that active this season. France can still take TS but I think Australia will have enough in the tank to edge them out. Unfortunately, I think the BM decider will go to France. Although AUS has gotten 10x better at BM this cup, beating teams like USA and POL really is more of a testament to how bad we are at BM. Hopefully they can prove me wrong. | ||
 Leo: About the Gold Final, I think that Team France will take the Nations Cup. It will be a interesting game with Team France as usual staying with a CTF and Team Australia with Team Survivor. But I do not think that Team Australia can beat Team France in CTF, because they are not normal playing this mode... In my opinion almost impossible Team Australia win CTF. About the TS, both teams have shown to be very good. If Team Australia do what they did against each other, I think they will take this. In case of B&D the both teams proved to be very efficient too, but I think Team France will win because of their experience. | ||
 SevenofNine: Going to be a great game, looking forward to see if Australia has evolved into a match for France's domminance these last couple of years. I wish I could shoutcast it live, but unfortunatly all these non-euro countries are messing with my timezone! GL HF | ||
| Nikkerz: fuck france, the aussie's got this | ||
 Champ2o14``: Here's the post-match script for you: Team France destroy Australia in CTF, Australia edge the French on Austria TS and Team France become champions with a 1v3 bomb defusal NiP-Xizt CS:GO style on dust2 - youtube link. | ||
 AlexDenton: Well, I think France is the favourite to win this match. Klad's team is far better in CTF and I expect TS to be very close. In case of a Bomb map I think Aussies can make it since they proved they can finally stand the pressure. France is favourite but if there's one team that can beat them, it's Australia. GO AUSSIES! | ||
 WidowMaker: I predict the winners of this would be France, from what i have seen this season they have been a solid unit, and even when some players have struggled, the other players in the team, have picked up the slack to ensure a (fairly) easy passage to the final, they're quick, solid and a good Unit. I have to admit, i've only seen Australia play once this season, where Portugal ran them pretty close, they have been playing tricky for France, but in the end, i think if they come up against the strongest French team available, it will be too much for them. So on behalf of Europe! France to win! | ||
