The Arbalet Cup Dallas and DreamHack Winter MVP has a number of interesting things to say about the 2009 fnatic, the new SK and fnatic lineups, mTw's removal of Sunde and the play of FX pasha.Whether winning the last game vs.
fnatic of 2010 was important:"Actually, it wasn’t that important. Fnatic is our main rival, without a doubt. I understood that we were losing to them, so did they, but overall we won all the most important matches versus this team. Many people thought that fnatic was stronger but I cannot agree. We were losing to them on minor tournaments (except Arbalet Cup Sweden.)… Or when the loss didn’t change much (like onArbalet Cup Best of 4)."
Speaking about
FX AWPer pasha:"According to my observations, some of Pasha’s movements are not justified, even unwise. He risks a lot. He doesn’t wait for an opponent but rather looking for it himself. What about his progress, I can say that any player that joins the best team in the country will naturally progress, regarding of his level."
starix's thoughts on the
SK and fnatic changes as well as which will be better in 2011:"They don’t want to go on losing… That’s why they are trying to change something inside the team. Because when the team loses, it starts looking for reasons either in their own team or somewhere else. Perhaps it’s time for changes. Perhaps, the atmosphere inside the team isn’t that good enough. Other than that I believe it were our victories that led these teams to such changes
I don’t know who will be better in 2011. I think SK’s line-up is more dangerous than fnatic’s, speaking about players and their personal skill."

Whether
ArcadioN is more valuable than Sunde for mTw:"They stole Arcardion from Full-Gaming, which were beating in 70% of all internet-games before WCG. This team surprised us twice: the first was when they were beating us all the time and the second was when they failed to pass the groupstage :))). I guess that any replacement pushes team back a bit, no matter how good this replacement deems for the very first glance. It’s because when you change the player, the understanding in the team also changes. You have a new man with his own ideology and game understanding. You’ll need time to create a perfect mechanism anyway.
I think that picking Arcardion buried yet another strong team. Both teams will need some time to recover. Danish CS-scene is pushed two steps backwards. Only future will tell is weather that replacement was successful or not."

to bad he looks like a girl ^^ ( an ugly girl )
i just commented starix. i didn't comment the whole people of Ukraine. i have nothing against Na'Vi, ukrainian people or anything.
just that starix sounds a bit arrogant... that's all. So i thought i'd bring him down to earth abit. Afterall he kinda looks like a girl.
It's just a phrase you use when somebody's ego is speeding away a bit.
(y)
And another thing is that people don't really see the potential behind fnatic's new lineup, and I believe that they will surprise us all eventually since the three new players are very skilled individually.
But yeah it's most likely that SK will be better at the first months, since their lineup is more mature and experienced.
2011 - SK's year.
If u read the interview on the navi site, u'll understand what i'm saying :)
