X-Unit Interview from CH!

Here is an interview live from CH with X-Unit's Loki. X-Unit is a CAL-O team, with quite the hype surround their quest for a CAL-M moveup. After beating team Skizzors 13-7 in CAL-O preseason 1, and attending Cyberhub (a rare feat for CAL-O teams), I sat down to have a chat with Loki.

reS|noSko #caloscrubz - interviewing xunit from CyberHub!

reS|noSko : Allright, let's get this underway, first of all, hey loki. You got the team nearby?

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : Hah, no, Snowy and Jmor are on a bus heading back to canada, Xclusive and Slaz are on there planes back to florida.

reS|noSko: Cool, allright, first of all, quick presentation of team xunit, how long you been together, who plays what, etc.

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : Xclusive, Jmor, Snowy, and Slaz have all been together since Soldier of Fortune 2, I joined at the end of season 3 of CAL. Snowy Snipes, Jmor rifles,
Slaz Shottys, and Xclusive and I mg mainly

reS|noSko :Allright, so, how was lan? without considering results.

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : It was an interesting experience meeting all the faces I see on the forums and scrim online on a daily basis. What I was trying to figure out was why we were so far behind in scheduling?
Our match was scheduled at 7pm, and we ended up playing it at midnight.

reS|noSko: CH forgot to take into account setup times?

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : It wasn't just setup times, several of the computers were crashing, and I think, at one point, the linux box hosting the servers crashed.

reS|noSko: Yeah, saw that one live on EGLN's broadcast, lol.

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : I recall Werra having major problems with one of there players being dropped.

reS|noSko : How would you say you did against some really high caliber teams, like sinister and ENE

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : ENE, I don't want to boast, but we gave it to them.

reS|noSko : Yeah, 15-9 was nice.

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : We gave up too many rounds on american, and if we had kept up our comms, we would've had it.

Sinister had been stratting toujane for awhile, they knew we were going to come prepared, and in my opinion, came prepared 10x greater than us.

We couldn't take B, they held their spots and didn't want to cross the tank for Snowy to pick. If we sat too long, their scope pushed flank and we were pinned.

reS|noSko: I was actually surprised with your score against Sinister, considering they got beat by ENE 16-8.

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : I talked to Crafter, and he basically told me that Toujane was one of there best maps. If we worked it together long enough like Sinister did, we would've came out better.

reS|noSko: Allright, one of the main problems with you guys (according to shoutcaster and EGLN idlers), was that you lost 5v2 rounds, by playing them as 5 different 1v1s. Think you guys will fix that up before season?

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : Against ENE, our problem was keeping control of the bomb site on american once we had it, on German, making shots was our major problem.

Sinister, I can't say much, I always seemed to be sent to the site that they weren't heading, and by the time i rotated back, a good portion of my team had been picked.
They played outside, on the roofs, they never really pushed in, only until we were weak.

reS|noSko : Yeah, as you have in your sig, you guys do a lot of double peeks, and that seems to cost you rounds.

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : Riskk was really referring to Snowy I think, we played them in several scrims, and snowy outsniped Riskk several times. I now sport a death threat from our preseason match

reS|noSko: Haha, nice. How was that, btw? Winning against Team Skizzors 13-7.

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : Skizzors had the momentum, but we outplayed them in top police, and kept them from rushing by nading the connector by l turn. We kept them in line with some pretty decent shots too. On russian we exploited the ppsh for the cheap hooker it is.

reS|noSko : Good deal. There's a lot of hype surrounding you guys about your rumored burning desire to get moved up to cal-m. What of it? Think you'll make it?

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : I talked to Trey from LCU, we were joking around about the match, but it should be an interesting time, we've had no time so far to strat trainstation (cal-o preseason 2 map) , since we’ve been worrying about CH, and the last time the original guys played it, was season 2. We'll see, I've never seen LCU play, but we'll be ready.

reS|noSko : Yeah, that makes a while. Hopefully you guys will make it, and get moved up. You actually want to get moved up, right?

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : As for CAL-M, if we move, we move. We're not really worried about it, we ignore the other teams begging for it on the forums, and we're just going to let skill reflect the judgements.

reS|noSko : Good decision right there. Allright, well, thanks a lot for the interview Loki. Anything you'd like to add/clarify?

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : I lick toilets for headsets.

reS|noSko : Yeah, LOL, good headset at least?

xu`LoKi`cod24wsvg : So far so good, thank god for listerine.

reS|noSko : Haha, yeah right. Allright, thanks a lot for the interview man, good luck against LCU! And see later you during the season, hopefully.
