K1ck spoke to Full Gaming's ArcadioN about possibly joining mTw, his biggest esports moment and playing alongside his brother.

K1ck has interviewed top Danish player

Timm 'ArcadioN' Henriksen. The Full Gaming man spoke about playing alongside his brother, the potential of a move to mTw and his biggest accomplishment to date.

On the most remarkable moment of his esports career:

"It's difficult to point out a single event, but I think that finishing 2nd at Arbalet Europe with mTw was my biggest international achievement. I was also a bit proud when I get my first international debut for the Danish national team. I had never owned my own computer, so my skill was build through Lan Houses. That was a big pad on my shoulder."

Addressing rumours that mTw targeted him as a possible replacement when MJe left:

"Those things are just rumors. I haven't heard of any interest from them, but I do know that I'm probably the first they'll ask, if they should go an make a change."

Whether esports has better visibility now than earlier in his career:

"I definetely think the visibility is much better these days. Counter-Strike on Eurosport? Are you kidding me? I would never have thought of that 5 years ago. Thats huge."

ArcadioN stood-in for mTw at Arbalet Cup Europe in late 2009 and helped them to a second place from the lower bracket. He was later called back into action for them again at the IEM IV European Finals as it emerged too late that Sunde would not return in time. The team finished a massively underwhelming 7th and qualified for the World Championship only by the skin of their teeth.

More recently ArcadioN helped p00nhandlers/wCrea.dk/Full Gaming overcome mTw and win the WCG Danish qualifier. Their performance at the Grand Finals was contrastedly unimpressive as they fell to Macedonia's ENTITY and Spain's Bet4Gamers to finish outside of the top 16.
