CEVO Articles

In this edition of CEVO Frontline we take a look at the competitive team stormakt. We contacted Brandon Hull to give us his insight on such topics as, the future of stormakt and the future of E-Sports competitive scene.

If you could start by introducing yourself.
Hello, my name is Brandon Hull and I alias by the name “manbearpig”

What focus has your team been taking in the past months?
Well everyone on our team has played with one another at some point in time, but never all together. Over the past three months or so we’ve really been trying to build chemistry and get to know how each other plays. We have a lot of individual talent and we’re trying to find out how to tie it all together.

After the Redemption tournament where do you see you and your team going?
Well, we are hoping to make it into CEVO-P for the upcoming season and take it from there. We are all very busy with college at the moment but plan on attending a few LANs this summer. From there, who knows?

How do you feel competitive CS:Source fits into the overall scheme of E-Sports?
I feel like Source is a growing game that will only get stronger as time goes on. Obviously, many people perceived the “death” of the CGS as a big hit to the source community. However, having played this game before the CGS was announced, I think it was a blessing in disguise. Counter-Strike 1.6 has had 7 to 8 years of play behind it, with all of the players rising from “pubs” in early Counter-Strike to the SK’s and 3D’s we see today. Source is a fairly young game and has a very young community. Over the next few years, I think you will see these kids grow and move up into the competitive level, making Source that much stronger.

Any last words?
Good luck to all of our opponents in the tournament and hope to see some of you in CEVO-P next season!
