Method: "Bad comms due to passion"

We interviewed Method players David 'DAVEY' Stafford and Connor 'streboR' Roberts to try and provide context for a team whose rise has been fairly swift in the North American scene.

Method managed to make second seed of Group B at the RGN Pro Series after defeating favourites compLexity in the decider match 16-10 on de_inferno.

During our interview with team members Connor "⁠streboR⁠" Roberts and David "⁠DAVEY⁠" Stafford, the latter of which has signed to Method (as he revealed to us) although the organisation has not yet officially announced it, to try and learn about the lesser known North American team.

You can find our other interviews from the RGN Pro Series as well as other clips on our Youtube channel here.

I kinda wish there was just 1 mumble for both teams and we could just hear shroud and just9n verbally shitting on each other for the whole game while the other 8 laughed their asses off.

In that case, your polish sounds much better considering that ;p Didnt mean to be rude, also nice job on the interviews, after i saw that one with freak, i needed to watch more of those, that one with taz was hilarious :D. Keep up the good work, looking forward for new interviews from RGN/San Jose :)

Americans just talk too much in general, partially because they like to socialize more than other nations, but mostly because of their enormous ego, they just can't stop talking about themselves and how cool and smart they are. I rarely meet Americans on MM, but when I do get teammates from US, they are playing mediocre to bad and are blaming everyone but themselves for their score
