Female Counter-Strike team Pink Zinic are currently in the finals of the Fifth ESL Major Series, they are due to defend that title next week against the German team of we are.

With the recent flood of positive results, the people behind Pink Zinic decided to conduct an interview with team leader, Mayra ‘IpSa’ Perez. The Interview not only talks about their endeavor in the Major Series, but also scrapes the surface on the announcement of a female tournament at ESWC.

You beat mousesports in the Quarter-Finals, which meant you got revenge after the Pan European Tournament in Poland a few months ago. What has changed since then enabling you to defeat them and why?

There can be A LOT of different reasons why they won over us in Pan-european tournament but the biggest reason I think was that they changed two players. They got hungry and young blood in their team. Changes like that gives new motivation and they probably remember how we play. I have recently started to notice a lot of teams playing the way we do. And its pretty hard for us to prepare ourselves to “play against ourselves”. You are used to certain teams playing in a certain way, but when they break their habbit and play like us, its pretty hard to anti-stratigize that. Usually because we are not ready for it when it happens. The reason we won over them recently is; they had changed one player so that could have affected their over all performance and we knew how they played. They where pretty predictable.
