zonic: "We felt the spirit from 2008"

ImageDanish mTw star zonic has released a blog on his team's homepage discussing the recent SuperCup, including their games against SK.swe and Mouz. He also details the upcoming practice schedule for mTw.



mTw.dk's Danny 'zonic' Sørensen has published a blog on the mymtw site discussing the last few months and the upcoming push towards the end of the year. zonic outlines the LANs mTw will be attending and their heavy practice schedule to get into good shape for them. The Dane also gives some information from his perspective about the recent ESL SuperCup which saw his team place 2nd. He speaks of "Germany’s little darling number one, Mousesports" who defeated his team in the final in a close three map affair.

Regarding mTw.dk's matchup against SK.swe and the effect it has had on the team's drive he writes:

"when we played against SK we kind of got the same spirit as in 2008 and we all agreed after the match that we wanted to become the best team in the world again. Just being behind 15 -7 and managing to come back and even win the overtime is probably something every CS player will remember as a highlight in their CS career. We will start practicing and try as hard as possible to get back to the old shape we had in 2008."


zonic lists his team's upcoming events as:

"- Komplett Gamer Challenge qualifier (online) 19th – 20th September (With a standin)
- BWS lan Challenge 18th – 20 th September (LAN)
- WCG Qualifier 18th – 20th September (LAN)
- SLAP LIVE 19 15th – 20th October (LAN)
- Komplett Gamer Challenge 15th – 20th October (LAN)"


Playing in a team with fan favourite AWPer Sunde and one of world's most versatile players in whiMp it's perhaps unsurprising zonic does not dominate the spotlight. His role in the last 2 years has been that of a solid rifleman who uses his veteran smarts to win rounds for the team. What newer fans may be unaware of though is the transition period he underwent to assume this role. In previous times playing for Asylum, SK.dk and NoA (the previous name of what is now mTw.dk) zonic was very much one of the key stars within the team, not to mention one of the top 2-3 players in Denmark at all times.

With SK.dk zonic placed 2nd at ESWC in 2005 but it was his move to NoA which propelled him to superstar status and bigger things in the long run. Playing with a core which revolved around zonic and AWPer hpx NoA found themselves capable of competing with the elite teams but falling short before taking down the big placings. That all changed as Sunde came into the team and had an incredible debut which spurred the team on to a 2nd at ESWC in 2007. Following the departure of hpx and the recruitment of whiMp the pieces of mTw.dk, as they were called by then, immediately clicked into place and in 2008 they were the best team in the world in many people's opinions. Their victories at Kode5, ESWC Masters Paris and WEM that year certainly seem to back that view up.
