The interviews main focus is about the Cyclone battlegroup and the 5vs5 tournament, but also brings up a few interesting points such as how they ended up as Nihilum's PvP team.

Here's a clip:

Jasi: I've been told you are the "captain" of the Nihilum Arena team, how did you obtain this position, and what do your consider your overall role and goals as a leader?

Phixus: I'll start with "how it came to be". Basically, I've been actively looking for a sponsor since season2 (right after we transferred to Cyclone) and I wanted to take the whole arena buisness to the "next level" because I felt my team was strong enough to perform proper at tournaments. I talked to a few sponsors but I ended up at Kungen the Allmighty one. In my PvE guild, Khadgar's Rage, we had a looot of outdoor PvE and WSG matches against Nihilum and we raped them quite often! So through that I've gotten to know a lot of the Nihilum guys.

When I talked to Kungen, Nihilum just got sponsored (as a PvE guild) by Mousesports and they were looking to make a PvP team that could properly represent their guild. Problem for them was that noone in Nihilum was actually good at PvP. :P So after a while Kungen offered me the chance to make the Nihilum PvP Squad. His demands were quite simple, he wanted to have a 5v5 team, and a 3v3 team that could play any setup. My 5v5 was settled of course but the 3v3 took some effort. I was playing Warrior/Pala/Priest back then and I didn't want to go to any tournament with a scrub setup like that. :P So to make a long story short, I heard some really good things about Cherekee + Beasteh. So I talked to them (with Kungen for the extra "wow" factor) and asked them for the 3v3 part of the Nihilum PvP squad. After a while they accepted and transferred to Cyclone (which funnily enough, they were already planning to do) and the team was formed.

So what do I see as my primary role? Basically just keeping everyone in the team happy, motivated, fixing stuff like characters that people can play if I want them to play another class etc. I help a lot with strategies in both 3v3 and 5v5. Although personally my preference is 5v5, I don't really see myself as a 3v3 player. But yeah, Kungen is the leader of the PvE part of Nihilum, I'm the leader of the PvP part.

Lastly, my "goals" are kinda simple :P I'd like to become the European Pandemic. I FINALLY want a decent European team to play at tournaments. This all might sound a bit cocky but we have the potential to do great things!
