Filip "Neo" Kubski, a man some fans consider the best Counter-Strike player ever, has given an interview to cadred. He discusses his team's organizational problems, the current top tier CS teams and even CS:Source.In anyone else's hands "Neo" would be a quaint matrix reference but in those of
Filip Kubski it has become a feared banner under which titles are won and entire matches' courses changed. The legendary Polish Counter-Strike star has been interviewed by cadred. In the interview Neo discusses his team's recent search for an organization, which top team he most wants to beat and CS:Source related topics.
The interview is not the most fascinating as we see a number of Source related questions which either go nowhere or are even confusing in structure, such as promod being the saviour for 1.6, but regardless it remains interesting whenever Neo speaks in public.
Speaking about the long search for a new home Neo says:

Speaking about the long search for a new home Neo says:
"At the beginning we were searching for an organisation which would be able to fulfill our requirements, which were nothing else than just what we had before in MYM and Wicked. After hearing "no" from everyone we had to keep lowering our expectations. In the end we lowered them a hell of a lot. Nothing was unrealistic from our point of view."
About the current tier of top teams and who he sees as the #1 side:
"I still enjoy watching others play, seeing their styles and of course nice frags. Right now I think fnatic are the best team, but I also really like how mouz plays. These two are my favourites right now and of course I would like to meet them at any tournament. We've always had lots of problems playing against mouz, but I hope we can finally beat them and take revenge! And as for fnatic, since they've changed their line-up they've won almost every event they went to so definitely they are the best now."
On whether or not he puts himself in the same class as HeatoN and Potti:
"Of course it feels great, but I wouldn't put myself in that category yet. Although I'm not done playing so maybe when I finish I will think of putting myself on that list! But right now I still hope I can give you guys some nice entertainment and inspire a few people who watch me play, so keep on watching."

Go Neo.
it's cadred, what else did you expect? they're random questions thrown in by the largest source community site on the world, and with Neo having played source in 2005 these questions are kinda relevant... the question regarding promod i can understand, but don't dumb down this article just because you don't favour it
it's a good interview and too bad you guys at SK didn't get the exclusive, gg
anyway, great read, and im looking forward to working with neo.
funny picture^.^
Truly one of best counter strike players out there.

The first question was asked because as most people know we are primarily a source website, afterwards it links in with how Source has destroyed the American 1.6 scene and what he thinks of that. With the promod question we at cadred have heard the opinion of many source players on what it will be like, I thought it would be good to get the thoughts of a top 1.6 player to see if he would ever consider it as a step in the right direction.
Credit where credit is due comes to mind but thanks for the mention anyway :)
