The third and the last interview in The Underdogs series is an interview with Speedlink's captain, Lopez. You can read below what does Lopez think of German scene, his expectations for Crossfire Intel Challenge 7 and many more!

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

A: Hello everybody. I started playing Call of Duty in mhhh 2003 I think :), with some friends and public only just for fun. In spring 2009 I formed Team SPEEDLINK (former nGize) and we succesfully reached the German ESL EPS Championchip in its 2nd Season.

Q: You also played for Dignitas in CoD2, was this a different experience than all the other teams you played for ?

A: It's always a different experience to play in an european team and especially in Dignitas with such a huge org in your back.

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

A: As I said, it was formed in spring 2009 with patz and twefoO. After some days duffy joined us from prediction gaming and bozzz follows as back up. Yeah and since 2 months we are proud to have reflexzr (Kevin) in our rows.

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

A: Ok, starting with twefo we have the best Scope in germany in our team. Played and already won ENC 2009 he was in main lineup for Team germany with reflexzr as smg. In all german polls you can see DUFFY as best AK. Finally we got patz and bozzz who are really loyal and were always pushing our team friendship.

Q: What is your own role in the team ?

A: My role is to be the captain from team SPEEDLINK and always to motivate my boys. Together with Kevin, I do our tactics and ingame calls.

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

A: I'm very happy about the final standings. With a bit more luck we could have finish as #1 in Group and also did a great game against dignitas on 3 maps. We will see what cic7 brings.

Q: German teams accomplished some big achievements in the past with teams like OCRANA and the old SPEED-LINK, in CoD4 we see the German teams struggle to do the same what is the reason for that ?

A: I dont really know but I think in the past, the european scene was not so good as it is now. We can see so many big teams in all countries and not only in 2-3.

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

A: I think it would be a good achievement for us to get in the top 8. It's our first lan in this lineup so we will see what we reach. :P

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

A: 1. Fnatic 2. Dignitas 3. Reason 4. Yoyotech 5. Speedlink

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

A: Hope it will be a good weekend for all.
