How did you guys like the hotel (Hyatt Regency) being so close to the venue as it was?
I loved staying at the Hyatt Regency downtown Dallas. The pool, the roomservice... it was all great. It didn't take long to go anywhere by taxi either so the location was also great. I have never been to a tournament where the venue was so close, so it was great not having to get up at 6 in the morning when your game starts at 12 o'clock like at some events.

Many people would be wrong saying you guys faced the "easier" teams at the tournament. Please explain why!
They might be right that we faced less known teams if you compare us to fnatic, but if you look at the brackets (as you always should) you see that there really wasn't that big a difference. In the semi we faced aAa, which had just beaten hacker... Hacker faced 3D the round before, where they crushed 3D. I really don't think it matters though, people are allowed to think what they want.

A whole other tournament system was used at CPL, not making use of winner nor loser brackets. Did it affect your game and what are the thoughts in the team?
Yeah, they used almost the same tournament system as ESWC, there were 2 group plays followed by best of 3 all the way to the grand final. Sure it affects us a little bit, because you can't have that tought in the back of your head that even if you lose this game you still have a chance in the loser-bracket, but that could also be a good thing because then you give it your all, no matter what.

Fnatic really impressed a lot of people. Throughout the whole tournament they were on fire. Is this because of their long bootcamp, or are there any other reasons? Could the final ended with another champion if you guys had more practice as a team?
Yeah, they were hot. I think the 1 month bootcamp they had really did the trick for them. They are still the team that we hate most playing due to their annoying playstyle which is amazing individuall skill combined with solid tactics. I think with enough practice we could have beaten them though, I mean I have to belive that. The final was a weird experience for us all, as you probably know we played on LCD monitors and there are limits to what you can do on an LCD, but in the final we just felt like fnatic had gone and bought themself some CRT's cause they were off the hook. That combined with us having an off-day and giving up too soon, we really didn't stand much of a chance. I know that if we had just tried a little harder we could have at least made it a more exciting game to watch.
