After an unexpected twist of events, team Earthquake (winners of the Romanian national qualifiers) is unable to attend the World Cyber Games finals held in Seattle after 3 players from Eq's roster failed to get US visas.
Thus, WCG and PGL, the national e-sports league, decided to grant access to the 2nd ranked team in the qualifiers, the I Got Game squad.
Here is the complete roster of team IGG for WCG 2007:
Stefan 'St' M.
George 'Rr' M.
Razvan 'Tweety' B.
Alexandru 'ApRoZaR' R.
Alexandru 'tALAZIz' L.
We caught up with the team's captain and player of IGG, Stefan 'St' M. for some questions regarding this:
Hello Stefan, first I want to thank you for this short interview with some questions about the Eartquake's visa problems and IGG attending to WCG instead of them
" Unfortunately the eastern-european countries always run into this sort of trouble when in need of a US Visa regardless of the purpose so it's mostly up to the interviewer's mood. "
So what really happend with the Eartquake players?
" As far as we know only 2 of them got their visas and the WCG rules state that at least half of the team from the qualifiers has to attend the Grand Final. "
And after all, WCG decided to follow the participation rules after a short talk with PGL, and Romania will have a CS squad attending the Finals?
" Seems so.. PGL always trusted the top teams and would rather send a 2nd place than leave an empty slot. "
Talk a little bit about I Got Game, some achievements and a short history of the team.
" It's basically a new team (2005) compared to TeG (2000) or -Eq- (2002) based on IRL friendship that managed to get to the top shortly after it's birth with top 3 standings in all of the National League seasons attended and silver medals in the last 2 WCG National Qualifiers. "
What is IGG's aim for WCG?
" Being our first foreign event we don't have a certain goal, we'll keep our hopes high and hope that after a long bootcamp we'll be able to come back home proud of some achievement - whatever that might be. We hope to get and edge over the national competition through this opportunity. "
Thanks again and good luck over the Finals!
" Thank you too and hope to see you in Seattle. "
We wish the best of luck to the team for World Cyber Games 2007.
