ImageToday i have a special guest in the house of our pro series guest. After they win Raidcall EMS ONE Cup #1 and Swedish Championship 2013 LAN qual #4 i decided to get in front of you, the team captain from Epsilon.

The SE Epsilon CS:GO team it's one of my favorite CS:GO teams, because of the players that are dedicated to play and also motivated to win the games against top teams. Until now, the team has some impressive achievements like RaidCall EMS ONE, ESEA and Swedish Championship 2013 LAN Qual. You have the interview with the team captain below, i hope you gonna enjoy it !

"

swaMp: Introduce yourself, nickname, full name and what it's your position in the team and favorite weapon and map.

Lox: My name is Tonoy Prince and my nick ingame is Lox. I am the team captain of Epsilon.Razer. My favorit map is De_dust2 and my favorit weapon is AK and AWP :)

swaMp: Describe your teammates and their role in the team

Lox: We have SE flusha who is our IngameLeader. I am the main "awper" and then we have SE xelos, SE schneider and SE jw who is the "fraggers". xelos, schneider and jws roll is to take the frags and opening up the map for us.

swaMp: How manny hours u pracctice per week ? Can you give some insights about this ?

Lox: We try to practice every weekday from 19-22 but we have been slacking a little bit the last couples of days. What we do is that we take one map at the time and try to make new strats that fits us as a team and make it happend. If something doesn't work at praccs then we change it and finally when we are satisfied we keep that tactic. Right now we are working on De_dust2.

swaMp: What u think about CS:GO Scene ? It's more professional then CS 1.6 ?

Lox: The CS:GO scene is much better then the 1.6 scene. Its more professional and have lots of tournament both online and offline which makes it more fun to play. We are playing Swedish Masters this week on Saturday on Inferno-Online and boot camping in Playz before that tournament.

swaMp: Which is your goal for this event? Perhaps among the top three ?

Lox: The swedish masters ? Its only against one team and its BO3. We hope for a easy 2-0 win.

swaMp: Tell me about the most recently achivement, RaidCall EMS One Cup #1

Lox: The early stages of the tournament were difficult for us, with some surprising teams playing very well (knocking out 3DMax in the process), their strats were clean and they gave us quite a scare! And today we was really hyped to meet SE NiP in the finals but they lost against n!faculty on the earlier round. The match started and we felt that we had a good roll from the beginning and we just went with that and felt like we had this one in our bag.

After the first map (train), we were worried because they had just beat NIP 16-12 on mirage, but after a strong CT-side, the confidence grew and we closed the first match. Then we started on the second map on mirage and lost the knife round which lead us to start T. We won the pistol round and in the end we managed to close the last map with 16-5 in our advantage.

swaMp: Can u describe me what are you doing when u pracctice a map ?

Lox: Actually we haven't started the hardcore practicing on each map yet. Because of the ESEA league we have only had 1 weak for each map. So basically we just played on out experience from 1.6.

swaMp: How can u describe the qualities that a team leader most have them for the good team working ?

Lox: What I do as a team leader is that I try to make it work. Its different from team to team, you have to adjust and take your place in a right way. I always try to be neutral and not take anyone side, but sometimes I have to. As a team captain my decision is the final one, but we always try to make the big decisions together :) So yeah, a team leaders job is to see that everything works, and if it don't, its his job to make it happen.

swaMp: What can u tell me about the international CS:GO Scene ? It's a big difference between CSGO.swe

Lox: The difference between the international CS:GO scene and the swedish scene is that there is very few teams which plays competetively and tries to stick together (SE Epsilon, SE NiP, SE Lemondogs, SE Absolute Legends), while the rest of the swedish scene just plays as mixteams in online and offline tournaments.

swaMp: What can u tell me about your recent win, Swedish Championship 2013 LAN qual #4 ?

Lox: Before the Swedish Masters we boot camped at PlayZ an internet-cafe in Stockholm. We adjusted some tactics and meet all for the first time. The finals was played at Inferno-Online against YVE and we managed to win 2-0 in maps. The first map that we played was nuke, and we had never played it before so it was a little bit of a struggle but in the end my succeeded to turn around the match after 7-13 to YVE to a 13-16 win for us! Then the next map was our map, it was inferno and that one we won 16-5 :) It was a great tournament and experience for us. Warming up a little bit before Copenhagen Games coming up soon.

swaMp: What settings u use to play ?

Lox: Settings: Sensitivity in-game: 1,0. Windows sensitivity: 5/11. Crosshair color: Green/1. Crosshair size: 2,5. Crosshairgap: -3. Hand/side: Left. Mouse Hertz: 1000. DPI: 1000(EC2). Resolution: 1920x1080. Monitor hz: 120 (BenQ XL2410T). Launch Options: -refresh 120 -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd -console -novid

swaMp: U have something to say for SK-Gaming Community ?

Lox: Great, thanks for the interview ! I want to take the opportunity to thank our sponsors ( Nike, Razer, PlayZ, Hiperz, Multiplay) by believing in us and sending us to the next events which they are (Copenhagen Games, and NLAN).

swaMp: Thank you Lox for this ! Best wishes for your team !
