Could you please introduce yourself and your team in regards to the Scan Team NFF tournament?
Hi my names Neil Hanrahan also known as Nitrony and i play for team Highfive

The online qualification stage is about to begin. What do you think of the group you have been entered into?
I feel we have been given a good group in that respect, I feel we can come top but theres a few teams I've never heard of which can always cause an upset so we will just have to see!

There is much competition for the number one spot. How do you think you will do?
We have plans in the pipeline which I feel will enable us to win the tournament but who knows, on the day if we pull a few lucky results I think we will win.

Who do you think will be the toughest opponents in the competition?
I feel virtuoso are the favourites from the community point of view and also from mine, so I would say them.

This event is the biggest thing in the UK at the moment. Do you see it as a turning point for national esports in general?
Almost definately, this event has made clans want to play again and win. I now have motivation to practice and play more due to the such big prizes scan is offering.

Over ninety teams have entered the competition, surely there has been much strain on the organisers. How has it been for the likes of yourself, the competitors?
Couldn’t of been easier, I've recently pm'ed blizzard thanking him for what he's been doing, the coverage and sighing up process has been awesome.

Finally, would you like to warn the competition how good you are? Or maybe you'd just like to use this space for general shoutouts? It's all yours.
Just a shout out to all our fans if any, and a big one to Stuart 'Highlander' Christie just generally because hes a legend, also were gonna win scan.
