JW: "We were stressed on Inferno"

6-3-2016 01:40

Jesper "JW" Wecksell did the traditional winning interview with us, where he touched on fnatic keeping the win streak alive, other teams gunning to dethrone them, Luminosity's improvement and more.

fnatic managed to pick up a sixth tournament victory in a row at IEM Katowice following a 3-0 victory in the grand final against Luminosity, which also included a couple of big comebacks after 3-13 scorelines.

We grabbed Jesper "⁠JW⁠" Wecksell for a video interview about the sixth win, the two comebacks against the Brazilians, Luminosity's improvement overall and more. Hit play below to see what the Swede had to say in the interview worth over six minutes:

Fnatic is in a whole other tier atm , today they showed us that there is a big gap between them and the top2. Luminosity was on fire, and even then, couldn't take a single map from the swedes. I know that it seems "boring" to see them win everything but a few years from now,when these lineup is gone, we are gonna miss them and that's a fact.

Agree 100%. Analysts said it was impossible to build a NiP-like dynasty because the competitive field was so much more... well, competitive nowadays, but fnatic has really done it.

6-0 isn't 87-0 mate..

2016-03-06 09:14

4 replies

87-0 was the number of maps won, not the number of tournaments won. Also, it's useless to bring up this 87-0 record nowadays, because the scene has nothing to do with what it was at the time of the golden NiP. It's a nice record, but that's it, it doesn't mean much in the context it took place compared to the current context.

LG struggled on their picks, they would get wrecked on Cobble just like cache, fnatic has a deep map pool in comparison to Luminosity's. Don't get me wrong, i really think Luminosity has a chance to win the next major, but there is only hope on BO3.

LG wasnt on fire today, Fallen and cold had an average series.

2016-03-06 03:40

3 replies

Well Fallen had to put more work into strategy and calls, Fnatic were beating them whenever they tried something different in their T side.But i agree with you about cold, but i'm glad to see that even when cold and fallen aren't playing their A game, taco and fer can step it up and have their backs.

2016-03-06 03:48

2 replies

So if you think about it its pretty weird how LG take fnatic to overtime twice when fallen and cold have an average series but fnatic have flusha jw and olof playing their A game. Imagine the outcome if fallen and cold plyed like they usually do and then having TACO playing his best series. Gg, 3-1 for LG?

2016-03-06 12:17

1 reply

True, Cold lost so many duels on this series that he usually doesn't, his spray was very shaky... well, too bad, Fnatic played out of their minds, two HUGE comebacks, gg wp

2016-03-07 16:58

+1 totally agree

2016-03-06 05:51

I totally agree that fnatic is on another level comparing to the others but this series shows how potentially LG can beat and make good half's on ct side. For me, it's basically whoever mantain the momentum and shows less emotional things on game wins the map. Sometimes I see LG hesitate on anti-ecos and make the scenario a bit scary. Either LG or fnatic have good T side and i don't think this is the factor that LG "dropped" overpass and inferno. The gap between this two teams is small, and i see 2 or 1 maps that LG couldn't play against fnatic: dust2 and cache. Dust 2 is a map they can potentially win because it's 50x50 and it's more skill based map than tatical but they are afraid after the 16-0 and this could possibly can be a barrier. I will hope to these 2 teams can show 100% of their gameplay, only to see a good counter strike match and hope for LG win a major, specially against fnatic.

2016-03-06 07:45

Absolutely

2016-03-06 09:48

maybe it is boring but for me, watching how fnatic are proving to be the best is admirable

JW so humble even tho he knows that they're on a completely own level/tier. But yeah i agree Luminosity is a very good team for sure. No denying in that. Especially Fallen impressed me this tournament.

2016-03-06 01:50

nice interview, JW is top3 awp player with amazing skill, i started at cs with hating him but am like him more and more (gameplay) #nohomo. Great player at great team, am proud of them cuz they represent Europe CS so GJ, but nV will take the major i hope or finally NiP, i wish it for them. GG

Seeing LG improve as much as they have has been a beautiful thing, They are slowly but surely closing the gap on the god tear Fnatic. The amount of respect JW shows for LG, is amazing. They know that they are on a whole different level from every other team playing the game but they give props when they are due. Im really hoping to see a rematch in the finals for the Major. GGWP

This community is full of insecure kids, nip fanboys who can't forget the past and people who accuse fnatic of cheating.

2016-03-06 03:12

Exactly my thoughts.

2016-03-06 03:51

Only autists hate him. He's one of the nicer guys in the pro scene, approachable, and always connected to his fans.

2016-03-06 05:02

Love him or hate him, JW has one of the most exciting playstyles in the scene. When He is on fire and I'm watching, I normally am left smiling because of his genius plays.

Really good interview. I have mad respect for JW (I have for a while now), even though I kinda disliked him when I first heard of him. The community needs to wake up and see he's actually a very nice guy and an excellent player. Kudos to Striker, I once criticised your interviews based on your speaking abilities (mainly stuttering I think) but you have massively improved and I'm impressed. Lastly, well done to fnatic for another title, and to LG for getting to where they are now.

What? They're so 'cringy' you get goosebumps? Engelando? They're perfectly normal people. I don't except them to be particularly cool seeing as they've spent the majority of their lives playing this game to improve at it in order to win events like these. Just like most other people I meet irl. Might be different if you're an ultra cool and extroverted American black man, I guess.

2016-03-06 12:39

Great interview. One thing I keep wondering though is if it would be possible for you guys to have a two camera setup instead of just one. It gets a bit frustrating watching one stationary angle all the time. Maybe mix it up with one stationary and one handheld zoomed in close (from the side or something) on the respective faces and then change between the two from time to time to make it more dynamic.
