3D NY Under the Gun

November 7th, 2008 by CEVO|Bass

Welcome to a new weekly series presented by CEVO and conducted by Bobby “Weenus” Hicks.  Each week Bobby will sit down with someone in the esports world and will get their feedback on a range of topics.  We welcome your suggestions on who should be interviewed.  Please post your ideas in the comment section.

3D.NY is one of a handful of the most recognizable names in eSports, and that popularity pre-dates their addition to a televised gaming league by about five years. Becoming a player on a team with that sort of history could be a great advantage toward exposure, but it also leaves massive shoes to fill. After being drafted by 3D.NY in 2008, Jon “Juan” Mumm found himself in the position of filling those massive shoes that were once occupied by legendary Counter-Strike strategists such as Ron “Rambo” Kim, Dave “Moto” Geffon and Johnny”boms” Quach.

Juan has handled himself impressively, to say the least. He’s managed to take 3D.NY from a position of being an old team attempting to reclaim former glory to becoming one of the top Counter-Strike Source teams in the Country, similar to his previous team, Pandemic. Above all, Juan is always great for an interview. He’s honest, candid, and thorough in his answers. As a treat for you CEVO readers out there, we sit down with Juan to find out his opinion on 3D.NY’s future in CEVO, their bad breaks over the past two weeks, and the importance of Online competition. Enjoy!

Your team has lost its previous two matches, both to CGS teams, very closely. What happened in those matches and what needs to be changed or fixed?

We’ve been trying to change around our play as much as possible as of late in an attempt to vary our play a little bit more, because I think teams have gotten used to the way we play certain maps. As a result, I think we haven’t been as prepared as we should have been in our recent matches, and we’ve run into things we didn’t expect to see which has caught us a little off guard.

When playing against such good opponents like Chicago and Carolina, you can’t afford to be thrown off like that.

So will you plan on just playing by the 3D.NY basics again, or will you continue to try to add new variety, except spend more time preparing with the new flavors?

We’re going to continue to experiment, try new things, add more to our arsenal so that we’ll be better prepared for next season of CGS.

Ahead, you still have to play against LA Complexity on de_russka, do you think you’ll be able to turn a win for Week 3-2, as Complexity is likely to be a tougher match than Chimera?

It’ll be a tough match, but tougher than Chimera, I don’t know. It will all depend on how much time coL puts into working on de_russka, as I know they have a lot on their plate right now with Pro-Am 1.6 and Source playoffs, and CEVO-P.

Next week, you’ll be facing off against Cyber Revolution and Dallas Venom. Since about half way through the 2008 CGS Season, 3D.NY and the Venom have been battling back and forth for the title of the best Source team in the US, do you think that’s justified?

Yes, though I’ll admit we haven’t maintained that status very well online thus far this season, Venom is definitely the hottest team right now and I’d be lying if I said we weren’t aiming to take them out.

What are some of the Non-CGS teams in CEVO this season that give you some trouble, and that the fans should keep an eye on?

CyberRev beat us in Pro-Am, though we did have Dave playing instead of Mikey, they still looked like a really solid team. The Knicks will pick it back up soon, I’m sure - they are too good of team and have too good of a mindset to not bounce back.

How serious will 3D.NY be taking the competition in CEVO this season? In the past, a few CGS teams seem to have coasted through the league, is it finally time to start taking the online competition seriously?

We’re taking it seriously - though now having played a season of CGS, it’s hard to put the same amount of energy into Online leagues knowing the experience doesn’t even come close.

If you were to put your money on your season’s outcome right now, should fans expect a Playoff appearance by 3D.NY this season? Bonus question, think you could promise a top three run?

Yes, I’d bet on both of those outcomes.

    My doctor suggested 3 more weeks taxi assistant to travel to work. However, my insurance company refuses to cover me for these 3 weeks until the doctor

    provides further information. Do you think that taking public transport is a wise option for me just after taking moon boot off? I feel my left tendon is

    very tightened and cannot raise myself using left foot.

    The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

    The golden brass hardware shimmers brightly with the beads against the piece’s brown background. This has a blue lizard strap that allows you to carry louis vuitton Wallets with comfort and style by hand or around the wrist. The single flap with buckle and zipper closure will definitely secure all your valuables inside. This also secures the blue fabric interior which boasts of one open pocket.

    Hi and thank you for making this web site. It’s very cool. Lots of solid info here. How do you keep up with all the changes though? I really enjoy listening to music while I study, the iPod is one of the greatest inventions e’er (and I am not an Apple fanboy in general, I just enjoy music).

    Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor. Have you tried the ipad? you can get one free at FreshGiftCard.com

    The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

    The Shoei is pretty fantastic but yet at $1800, it’s a bit dense for my blood, also. I’d personally as an alternative own the Classic Army minigun although.
