The Spotlight on Team Sure Shot
March 26th, 2009 by CEVO|CeloneIn this edition of CEVO Frontline we take a look at the competitive team Sure Shot. We contacted Eric Posen to give us his insight on such topics as, the future of Sure Shot and the future of E-Sports competitive scene.
If you could start by introducing yourself.
My name is Eric Posen, most people know me as Stryker. My notable past teams are CyberRev (briefly for Alienware and PNY tourney, then 3 of us were replaced with KBS), Skull Gaming, mugNmouse, GX, and Upper^. I have attended and placed top 3 at every west coast LAN in the last couple years, most of which concluded with losing to +} in the finals (I’ll get you one day, misty!). I also competed at both CGS Combines.
What focus has your team been taking in the past months?
This pug was formed soon after CEVO-m playoffs when I was on jCp because my attempt to be a back to back CEVO-m champ was crushed by some of these guys near the finals. Since I was cool with some of their teammates, I asked if some of them wanted to make a team for the tourney and win some video cards. We also brought my buddy RoN on board from GX/Skull to make a pretty sexy lineup. This roster usually only practices a few scrims a couple nights a week because Sure`Shot has their own team to worry about for ESEA league.
After the Redemption tournament where do you see you and your team going?
I don’t really know yet. Sure`Shot already has a CEVO-pt spot and so do I from jCp, which may be used for stormakt if they can’t get a spot from Redemption. I fit in really well playing with these guys and I enjoy playing with them, but I don’t know how much time I can actually commit to a real team right now because I’m a full time student at UCSB and school is consuming my life. They have a pretty good roster already for their actual team and I know they will continue on through CEVO-pt with or without me and probably do just fine. These guys are not as hardcore about this game as some of my previous teams and it’s much more laid back playing with them, but in the end everybody still wants to win.
How do you feel competitive CS:Source fits into the overall scheme of E-Sports?
I think CS:S is one of the best competitive team FPS games out there, second only to 1.6. Unfortunately, there is not much money in it anymore, and it’s going to take something huge to change that. I think Newegg really needs to host a LANFest 2K9 (in L.A.) with Source as a tournament game, because that would own.
Any last words?
Good luck to the rest of the teams still in the tournament. If you suck after a client update, we’ll understand.
Interview conducted by CEVO|Carson. A big thank you goes out to Mr. Posen for taking the time to participate in this interview.

My team played Sure Shot on season for a scrim, and beat them. Called us cheaters and kicked us, very unprofessional.
