Hi Azid. As of today, you and your teammates will be representing ID-Gaming. How will the switch to ID Gaming affect your team and can you briefly enlighten us in, what the teams’ task will be in ID Gaming?
This organization switch will affect us very dramatically. Now we can attend LANs all over the world and not thinking so much about the money aspect. The team main tasks is just winning games and making ID gaming proud :)

Since the departure of the previous Norwegian MYM squad, Norway has been without a dedicated top Norwegian team. Is it your goal to take over the task of being the best Norwegian team, meaning represent Norway at events like WCG and ESWC?
Now that several of the famous MYM players left the scene, I think now`s the time for us to break through. We hoping for a WCG or ESWC spot but we also know that other strong Norwegian players are forming new teams. So I think we just have to wait and see, but I do know we have the chance to make it.

Hearing you will have better options going to international events with the support of ID Gaming and do you already have a few events in sigh, in that case which?
In short term we have just some local Norwegian LANs coming up as a warm-up for this winters big Norwegian event The Gathering with an ESWC spot. After that we haven’t really decided what to attend, but we are looking at LANs like CPL, GameGune and other major events coming up.

Four of you played together in Extreme Masters. Ending up in fairly tough group with SK, roccat, Competo, Gravitas and UNITED, you placed last with only one victory. Did the team never had the spirit and the faith in doing well, or did you simply just end up versus teams too strong?
Well what can I say; the team’s goal was to complete the group stage placing third. Two of the matches we played were on LAN at DreamHack vs. roccat and SK. We played on LCD monitors and wasn’t even close to winning. We also got some major lineup changes which have affected us both positive and negative. But now with this new team I really believe we have what It takes to make it, and if we had placed all the matches with this lineup I think we could have reached our third place.

Best of luck in the future in ID Gaming. Any last wishes, thanks or shoutouts?
I want to thanks ID Gaming for being such a great organization, www.Titanpoker.com, their main sponsor and to all future ID-gaming fans :)
