Interview with natu

69n-28e, fnatic, natu, red

Over at fnatic.com, fnatic/red has managed to catch up with the 69N-28E player Finland Joona "natu" Leppänen for an extensive interview. The interview is quite long, but does provide a good read as we can see an indepth look at this Finnish star. natu

It begins with a look at all the in's and out's of the players gear, equipment and achievements. The interview then moves onto his personal life, his association with the computer world, and finally onto his gaming career where he talks about the upcoming ESWC Finals in Paris France.

Here is a snippet of the interview:

How long did it take until you realised that you were actually quite good at the game and could go somewhere?
Well I had my own team 7 years ago and I felt that I was getting way better than my teammates were (sounds pretty arrogant, I know) - so I wanted to try how good I really was and asked to join of the better teams in Finland back then, GST. I never really thought this would lead into something though. I realised that there's money to be won in this game when I went to WCG back in 2001 and got 3rd place with my team and my bankaccount balance was pumped by $2000.

You've just won WSVG Louisville, the ESWC Grand Finals are in two days and you guys are on a high note, do you think you can repeat what happened in Louisville and bring home the title?
I'd be in the wrong business if I didn't say yes. So of course I'm confident that we have the ability to play a solid tournament and bring a title back to Finland. Although the tournament is very very tough and it takes plenty of solid games from us to be able to achieve that. But yes, we're up for the challenge!
