In an interview with mymym fnatic's young star GeT_RiGhT along with the team's tactician cArn discussed zet's move to MYM, the upcoming trip to China and the possiblity of cArn retiring.

Over at mymym an interview has been conducted with GeT_RiGhT and cArn, two of CS' biggest stars right now. The pair discuss their team's recent form, the upcoming Chinese events (GCC and WCG) and side topics such as zet's move to MYM.

Giving comment on zet's recent removal from SK, and subsequent move to MYM, GeT_RiGhT said:

"I think zet is still a good player, but hes not at his highest level. But I think he must to search for it, so he can be as good as he was before. But we will see, he could be better with MYM players than SK."

Regarding his potential retirement at the end of 2009, as had previously been mentioned, cArn said:

"I did say that 2009 could be my last year. I have been playing for Fnatic for 4 long years and I have been having so much fun, it's hard to describe.
In early 2009 I set up a final goal that when I quit playing I want my team to be the best in the world, if we continue in the same manner as we have so far there is a great chance that we will write ourselves into the history books as the best team ever, something I would be very proud of.

What I'm trying to say is that it's difficult for me, being 24 years old and finding new challenges and goals in Counter-strike, I have been into this scene very long time, and for that im very grateful, but everything has an end. And regarding replacements, we haven't decided anything yet, we are just focusing on IEM and WCG."

Talking about fnatic's loss at the Intel SuperCup to mouz, cArn explained:

"The Intel Extreme Super cup was a minor tournament, we didn't really focus as much as we needed. Mouz on the other hand played very good but they will have to climb mountains to achieve another victory in Chengdu."

cArn's transition from your run of the mill rifleman on top 3-4 Swedish teams to the elite tactician in the game from 2007 onwards has been an interesting thread to follow. Here is a player who will retire, whenever he decides to, as one of the great overachievers after elevating his game from that of a player who might have finished up with a resume of 3rd-8th placings but now will be remembered as one of the greatest winners in CS history. Few can hope for a better end to their competitive story than that.
