adreN: "Weren't on the same page"

As our first interviewee of FACEIT League 2015 Stage 1 Finals, Eric "adreN" Hoag talked about their disastrous initial match in London, as well as the second edition of the North American shuffle.

Team Liquid had a disastrous start to FACEIT Finals following a 0-2 loss to fnatic in the initial round of group stage, where they only got four rounds in total.

We got a hold of Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag to find out what went wrong in the match, why the team didn't join up with Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham and Spencer "⁠Hiko⁠" Martin in the end, and got an idea on what he thought about the shuffle as a whole.

one obvious thing from watching the stream today, is that they lack patience. So many situations they could have won if they just let the opponent come to them, but instead they peek and get killed.

"stuck with semphis" He said on stream that he think the two work well together and is a good team, and has the same mentality towards the game. Don't think Hiko views it as being stuck with him.

HLTV interviewer questions: 1. How...h-h-how... to what... how much... eh because of NA shuffle... ho-ho-how was your preparation? 2. Has that, has that... has that any any has that had any... affect, affect on the mindset... affect the mindsent going in to cobble? 3. So how do you.. how do you, how you think Cloud9 will do with Skadoodle? Seriously? Either improve your english or figure out what you're going to say before asking the actual questions. It's almost to the point where I don't want to listen to it.

Lol people have the right to complain when bad things are bad. You're right, everyone just ignore all the problems of the world, that's how things get better. I NEVER mention race on this site, but the irony of your Indian flag and your willingness to sweep problems under the rug seems so hilariously appropriate.

Look at the state of America and the state of India, it isn't even a comparison. At least we have a police force that you know, at least pretends to enforce the law, and aren't just so thoroughly corrupt that 90% you are pulled over you can bribe your way out of a ticket.

maybe coz he uses his own money to go any possible event to do the interviews and get info for u ? U think hltv.org is a company which has a profit every month to pay to its helpers ? When they just put an ads in the background to get money, u cried and talked shit about that. Srsly...u want an expert to go around and do interviews for FREE ?
