In an interview from his bootcamp prior to the IEM V World Championship Finals SK Gaming's Shane 'rapha' Hendrixson spoke about the players in his group and his feelings on the whole going into a tournament where he is looking to repeat as champion.

Where is rapha's head at going into IEM in terms of practice? What was his reaction to seeing the group draw? Does rapha like to play other favourites early on or does he prefer the element of surprise? With many saying rapha is the solution to Cypher's style why does the American say he likes to play the man from Belarus? What are rapha's thoughts on who will make it out of Group A? Has the layover since DreamHack Winter affected rapha's ability to feel prepared for IEM?
