NBK: "We will let shox free"

30-10-2014 12:24

We've caught up with Nathan "NBK" Schmitt to talk about numerous topics, including LDLC's change of in-game leaders, group B match-ups and their result at FACEIT S2 Finals.

LDLC suddenly changed in-game leaders during ESWC France after their first match, and Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt elaborated on the team's choice in the following video interview.

We also talked about how their semi-final exit at FACEIT League Season 2 Finals affected the team's decision, as well as preparation going to ESWC right afterwards. Furthermore, NBK- shared his opinion on group B match-ups.

To watch the full interview, hit play below:

We will try to give you more interviews like this one throughout the whole event, so stay tuned to HLTV.org for a full coverage of ESWC 2014.

nice

gl, I think its the best option here. Happy is a great in game leader and he's smart as fuck plus he can mid fragg while is calling. shox need's to be a monster like always!

Oh boy :) your nickname reminded me of those mad days of WCG 2007 where hostile- showed his typical American true self playing for EG I think vs ru-mix team (no offense to those who dont act like that guy used to), but damn those were fun times at gotfrag's forums ahahaha . . .

Because Epsilon and Happy didn't want to lead Shox is a good IGL in terms of a mix team but Happy is better for a strat team.

But versus 3 teams only. They need to adopt to every team they play with and letting shox play at his best and he also help's calling strats in mid rounds. That's the good set up for them.

finally video interviews <3

2014-10-30 11:52

WTF thought happy was already the IGL. How can you not let him be the IGL he is one of the best IGL in the moment.

2014-10-30 11:54

At first I though "Eeee shox is leaving LDLC? No way", then I though "Ohhhh I get it, they let him play what he does best". Misleading title (I bet on purpose :P).

Can I read it as "shox will leave LDLC"?

2014-10-30 11:57

I want to break free !

2014-10-30 11:58

Suit up interview, woah the landscape has changed ;) Jokes aside, kudos for bringing back video interviews, its been missed and a huge lack in event coverage. Well done Striker!

Potato, Potato.. The point is its something so not gaming related, yet we see it pop in various places, to look more corporate... I'd rather see someone do it with a nice shirt and go the full lengths, like ReDeYe, versus a jacket and random tshirt.

Please, there is a major diff between a suit up corporate drone or someone in a cool blazer.

As long as they look comfy in it, it can work, but often its just not the case, imo.

They just can't dress themselves, trust me. Someone who knows their shit can even make these geeks look half way decent ;-)

2014-10-30 14:34

to look more corporate.. it sounds like some anti-capitalist conspiracy hippie jibberish..

2014-10-30 13:43

I remember a time when everyone was wearing blazers and a normal t-shirt and some jeans, can't even be that many years ago (or maybe im just old). Personally I would suit up if it were me, but don't think I would use a tie like ReDeYe. In LoL all the casters wear a shirt and then a vest and all in dark colours. Did you see that vnG and some other older danish players suited up for a lan event and wore them all the way through?

2014-10-30 15:07

w0w! its mTw|Nix0n!

2014-10-30 15:05

Way better for LDLC than shox having to frag and call tacs

2014-10-30 16:05

Good stuff Striker, after Nix0n left there was like almost no video interviews but if you would manage to bring that back it would be nuts, I guess lurppis did 1-2 interviews and so did Tgwri1s few times I think? NEED MOAR!

You're right, MIRAA did some as well, but it was never nowhere near Nix0n's output, we're trying to find out whether it's worth pursuing for DHW :)
