CEVO’s Playoff Interview Series is a short question and answer session with each of the Counter-Strike Source Professional playoff teams. Bobby “Weenus” Hicks had a chance to ask a few questions of Devastation

You had a pretty rough season, will you be able to turn it around in the Playoffs?

Yes, the boys have been practicing hard all season and are now in a mindset for playoffs, I have no doubt in my mind that we are the team to beat.

Who are you looking forward to facing in the Playoffs?

We are prepared for any team we face, although we had a few very close matches this season that didn’t go our way and we are definitely looking for some payback. :)

CEVO’s Playoff Interview Series is a short question and answer session with each of the Counter-Strike Source Professional playoff teams. Bobby “Weenus” Hicks had a chance to ask a few questions of Zomblerz

Who is your major competition heading into the Playoffs?

It’d say both of the CGS teams have the best chance to beat us. More so venom then core since core wasn’t good this season of CGS and venom somehow managed to win the world champs. I guess we will have a lot to prove when we play venom to show how dominate these so called world champs actually are.

What do you think allowed you to dominate throughout most of the season?

We all had our moments during the season but it’d say just consistent play throughout the season helped us win most of our matches.

The Playoff Interview Series is a short question and answer session with each of the Counter-Strike Source Professional playoff teams. Bobby “Weenus” Hicks had a chance to ask a few questions of each of the teams and these are the results of those sessions.

How much have you been able to focus on the CEVO play with you making it to the CGS World Final?

Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to focus on CEVO as much as we would have liked. Thankfully we had such a strong early season so we could just coast our way into the playoffs. The CGS World Final is obviously our priority, but we’ve been able to creatively schedule our matches so we could also fit in the CEVO season. We thought it was really important to play in CEVO this season, so we’re going out of our way to do so.

CEVO’s Playoff Interview Series is a short question and answer session with each of the Counter-Strike Source Professional playoff teams. Bobby “Weenus” Hicks had a chance to ask a few questions of team x3o

Who are you looking forward to facing in the Playoffs?

We are really looking forward to playing Dallas Venom. They have a great lineup this year, and have shown that they are a top CSS team in the world by winning the CGS Individual CSS Championship.

How did your team manage to bump back after losing four straight matches earlier in the season?

During this past season, the composition of Team x3o changed tremendously. After losing cbz, da bears, and sunman, we didn’t rush into picking up the first available players. Finally getting our roster set with Chris, we started to get our momentum back. As with a new lineup, it took us some time to fill out the rolls of the players, however in the end we found our rhythm. We are really looking forward to showing the world what we are made of next weekend.

How much have you been able to focus on the CEVO play with you making it to the CGS World Final?

Preparing for the world final has taken up the majority of our time. However, practicing on LAN for the world finals, and the regular season for that matter, has been paramount to the cs teams success. The LAN environment has allowed us to increase communication, while playing the same teams has forces us to diversify our strategies, both of which will help us in the Cevo playoffs.

Your results took a significant dive in the later portion of the season, what changed?

For the first portion of the season, the guys were able to play from their own home on fast Internet connections. Once they got to the apartments, the Internet was much slower. It was significantly faster from last season and was great for our website needs, however they received heavy amounts of loss while playing online. I don’t think those later online results will be reflected in our playoff performance.
