WCG Qualifiers

What with the WCG qualifying event taking place tomorrow at LanArena Nottingham, I caught up with I3laze from event favourites, clan nocturne.

How do noc rate the WCG qualifier as a competition?

noc|-Blaze-: To be honest the WCG has come round quicker than we would have hoped in order to get some decent practice in. A few of our members have been on holiday a week before, including me, so we havnt been able to practice at all. We will be doing tactics on the day, but thats half the fun :)

What are your expectations of this competition?

noc|-Blaze-: With so many top uk clans attending the competition and with very little practice i think it will be a very big task to go out and go quite far in the competion. We know that a number of clans attending have been practicing max rounds which could make for some very interesting games.

Are you happy with the way the WCG are handling the config issue which has become such a high priority in the CS scene of late?

noc|-Blaze-: I think the way they are handling the configs is just fine. Each config has set requirements it has to meet and hopefully they will all be checked by a WCG member of staff. It makes for much better playing than over the internet, at least you know you're playing a totally fair game.

Who do you see as your biggest threat in the tournament?

noc|-Blaze-: It's very hard to pick out specific clans from the bunch that are going, especially with the little practice we have had. Whoever we play will be a challenge and im just hoping to have a good time :)

Well UKT wish all the clans attending the best of luck and hopefully whoever comes out victorious, will go on to represent the UK in Korea and do us proud.

Stay tuned to UKT for lives updates tomorrow as the event unfolds.
