cnFrag spoke to lurppis about paistit's long term potential, e-Stars expectations and aslak's skills.In anticipation of the upcoming e-Stars Seoul 2011 Chinese coverage site cnFrag has interviewed tactician 
Tomi 'lurppis' Kovanen of WinFakt Fi about his team's chances at the South Korean event, the recent changes in 
EG, his former team, and the potential paistit has long term. The interview is in both Chinese and English.
On the differences between the European and North American scenes:
Regarding New school AWPer aslak:
His expectations for e-Stars:
lurppis is best known as the in-game leader and tactician for EG and 69N-28E/Roccat. His peak with the latter came in early 2007 when they were able to win the NGL-One finals, WSVG Louisville and an ASUS tournament within the space of a few months. His best results with EG were 3rd at Arbalet Cup Europe 2009, 4th at the IEM IV World Championship and 1st at Beat IT.

Tomi 'lurppis' Kovanen of WinFakt Fi about his team's chances at the South Korean event, the recent changes in EG, his former team, and the potential paistit has long term. The interview is in both Chinese and English.On the differences between the European and North American scenes:
"In North America teams change their rosters too often and like to always have a person to blame whenever things don't work out rather than work to overcome the problems. Another major problem is that EVERYONE in NA practices to win, rather than to get better. I also think practice on ESEA (their website, has an anti cheat and provides statistics for every scrim) makes everything worse because players will stat whore in scrims as well rather than trying to play for the team."
Regarding New school AWPer
aslak:"He's an upcoming top AWPer for sure, you can get a little taste of what he's capable of in his POV against Lions, but all top teams in Europe should already know from practice how good he is, and after one or two events so will the fans. He has an aggressive playing style that reminds me a little bit of ruuit and hits a ton of AWP shots I would assume he (or anyone for that matter) would miss, so he's a very good player with the big green."
His expectations for e-Stars:
"Our goal as always is to win the event, looking at the brackets it's going to be hard but it's not impossible. We could lose vs mouz and we could beat both them and Na`Vi so it's really hard to say how we will do yet, but I think we're one of the 5-6 best teams attending and if we play well and get good practice in during the next week, I think we will place in the top three."

LOL, i didn't know.. that is so so so so fucking bad, playing pracc to win = much less improvement,as in other sports you should try out and search for things which fit best to your team and not to try antistrating your opponent in pracc match but look to pracc some new staff and so on which will eventually come very important at official matches.. can't believe that they have stats for pracc matches... really bad
