Hey mark, can you give a brief introduction of yourself and the team.
My name is mark, I’m 17 and going to college, and the team has been going from strength to strength since our latest pickup of stat which was shown by our performance at CDC. :)
Alright, so how has your current lineup evolved over the past few months since CoD4’s release?
At the start of cod4 it was me lookzor, soclon, seeker, dramzie and ncd. It took a while but we eventually realised the faults the team had and started working on new replacements etc, after getting diablo in it was me soclon lookzor seeker diablo, and recently seeker was underperforming so we thought stat the man would be the better choice which paid off greatly at CDC. =]
Alright, so I know that most teams claim it will last forever, but do you realistically think the team is in it for the long term?
I'd be lying if I said no, we are all active, motivated and more importantly get along as friends and not as colleagues I guess you can put it that way.
The players in your current lineup have been in the scene for a while, but until now have never really reached the top level. What do you think it is about your current setup which has so drastically made an impact?
Well, I think the fact were all the same nationality helps (well, passport wise ^_^) alongside the fact we all get along well and don't bicker in game at silly things etc. Tbh the main factor why we work so well together is all our play styles fit together perfect and are very adaptable like soclon can snipe amazingly and rush amazingly.
OK moving on, how are you finding CoD4? Any problems you would like to see fixed?
I like the game how it is, the community is whining about spec ops being over powered etc etc but it suits certain teams play styles, all that needs fixing is the SMG's damage over range scale as it is how it should be at close range, imo.
So would you say your team's playstyle is an aggressive one?
Well we are kinda known for having an aggressive play-style, but we can certainly mix it up when we want to. =]
Well it certainly seemed to work in Holland. Speaking of, any funny stories to tell aside from the whole plane debacle?
Yeah mick passing out in the toilets, walking for 5 mins to the front doors ot hecnetre falling asleep and saying 'I think they’re shut', then chasing lukzar saying he’s going to kill him! And then shouting bitch as loud as he can about 20 times at me and stat in his hotel room with the door open. ^_^
Haha sounds eventful. How was your practice routine running up to the event?
Well we didn't get in as much as we would of liked, but what really helped us was the two day boot-camp at WZZRD. =]
And how have you been finding TLR as an organisation? Did you get adequate support for the event?
TLR as an organisation are a nice place to be :) The management are really helpful, we didn't get as much support as we would have hoped for but we still got there so I would say it was adequate. :)

Ok so on i33 in a few weeks time. Do you think you can replicate your CDC success? How’s the practice going?
Yeah I think we can do as well if not better, we haven't played as a team since cdc as diablo’s away till Sunday which is when the practice will start =] As long as we get as good PC's for LAN as we did at WZZRD there’s no stopping us. :D
Top three prediction?
I think any teams that came top 8 have a real chance of getting top 3 at i33 if they put the time or if they even come. ^_^
Alright thanks for the interview, any last shoutouts?
Shouts to everyone that was at CDC especially the admins that did really well considering all the shit that didn’t go well. Everyone at TLR and TLRs sponsors, plaz and luk for their sahara nuts on cdc and ofcourse LOOKZOR FOR BEING THE BIGGEST EGO IN EUROPE and robye for letting me use is mousepad on CDC cos i forgot mine. ^_^
