After boco's interview, there is another team to be interviewed and they are also considered the underdogs of upcoming LAN tournament Crossfire Intel Challenge 7. They are coming all the way from Turkey and hopefully they shall bring back home some good news about their final standings. I joined up with yKzz to ask him a couple of questions about his opinions and thoughts before the LAN.

Q: Thanks for joining me yKzz. For the people who might not know you, could you tell everyone a little about yourself and your history?

A: Hi, I'm Muhsin aka yKzz from Turkey,18 years old and I'm currently studying Aircraft Technology. I've started to play fps games in 2003 and played games such as Quake,CoD series and now still playing Call of Duty 4.

Q: Can you tell us something how your current lineup formed?

A: We have been playing together with DreDD and Mirk for 3 years in the same team. DreDD and YesSir! played before together. Our 5th was chakylexy but due to economical issues we had to find a new smg so we directly asked Premz and that is how the current line up formed as HWA Gaming Team

Q: Can you tell us something about the players in your team without yourself ?

A: As I said above we have been playing together with DreDD and Mirk for 3 years in the same team. We know each other very well. Mirk is our very talented player in the game, DreDD is our team captain and he takes care of all the stuffs about management and website with the staff. Our sniper YesSir! has joined us after summer lans, but in the beginning of the Call of Duty MW, DreDD and he played together so he easily gel'd with our team. Our last player is Premz, he lives in Holland and plays as smg.We like his aggressive game style and turkish speaking :)

Q: What is your own role in the team ?

A: I can use smg and ak47 both properly ingame, otherwise HWA have lots of efforts to improve e-Sports in Turkey with the game organizations.I am also part of the organizing team.

Q: How did your team experience the Seeding tournament and what do you feel about the outcome of it ?

A: In the seeding tournament, our group was really a joke actually. Except empathy, other 5 teams have capability of qualifiying from the group stage. Our first match against gameLimited, YesSir! had a ping issue and that affected us in a negative manner.Than we tried to arrange our games according to the our i-net. We played well in group stages except gL match, if TLR wins against corgz we will be in top 16 and we are going to play against NCE. Top 16 is ok for us among the best teams.

Q: How does it feel to play with 80 + ping and having a lot of ping issues and does it affect your game ?

A: We get used to it but ping is not the whole issue, our i-net is sometimes so bad we can not shoot anyone properly ingame. We have to wait for certain positions for shooting our opponents, that is because we can not get into the too much combat fight. Our opponents say we dont die online (hi stu and roy :p) I hope we can get used to pingless play in CiC7 :P

Q: You have been to oof3 and tex09 last year with NCS can you tell us something about that lineup and about the results ?

A: NCS line-up was chr1s,wrath,haya,mirk and me.Haya is very talented player.I like his aggressive game style.Chris is very funny man.He always smiling and joking.He was our team-captain.Wrath is one of talented sniper in Turkey.We had lots of fun. Also we got good results. As you know we ended at top8 @ oof3.We hoped to do better at tex but it was a disappointing situation for us.

Q: How did the organisation help you to get to Enschede ?

A: Well actually in Turkey, there is not support for gaming, HWA paid our tournament fee and our clothes. We paid our flights, accomodation and other stuffs, but special thanks for their efforts.

Q: What is the result your team would be happy with ?

A: We would be really happy ending in top8.

Q: How do you think the top 5 will look like ?

A: I think it will look like this: 1.Power 2.Fnatic 3.Dignitas 4.H2k 5.Loaded

Q: Thanks for your time do you have anything to end with?

A: Thanks for the interview and thanks to Ahmet Taruz who has put in a lot of effort to get support from the companies and the owner of Hardware Arena. See you at Wzzrd...
