Stephano interview


What do you think of the Millenium gaming house ?

For now I can't say much about it, it hasn't even been 24 hours since I arrived here. But the gaming conditions are good, we'll have to see its effects over time, at the moment it feels good.


Why did you wear disguises during the LDLC 2v2 trophy (competition)?

I was with Dignitas.Bling when we did 2 bets in a row and the loser of each had to disguise himself as something. I lost the bet where you had to disguise yourself as a scumbag [T/n : I think he says “racaille” maybe someone who saw the event could verify if it makes sense] , he lost the bet where you had to disguise yourself as a hippie and then we went there (to the competition).


Do you like to play 2v2 ?

Yeah, it's a lot less stressful, we have a lot more fun playing those games, it's a lot less serious and it's not too complicated, there's no specific training for it, once you're good at 1v1 and you have a minimum amount of teamplay, you can get some good results [T/n : Can't really make out the last couple of words -->] in tournaments.


Do you like the HP trophy format ?

For now, the format is interesting, yeah, well, I prefer more choices on the maps. In some tournaments, there's always a map that I don't like so it's hard to know who will go on the maps that are picked, sorry ! Besides that, playing 2v2 and 4 1v1 is fine.


What will be your next offline tournament ?

I just confirmed to the admins today the fact that I'll be participating in Assembly, it will be my next offline event.


How long will you stay in the gaming house ?

For starters I'll stay for 10 days, after that I'll have to see whether or not I'll stay, it'll depend on how I feel. If I feel like it helps more than when I'm at home then [I'll stay].


Do you find it better to practice with other gamers in a gaming house ?

It's much more interesting to play against someone when he's right next to you to explain what went wrong and what went right. Aside from that, I don't think it changes much since the most important part is the match itself and you can play it next to each other or kilometres away from each other.
Any thanks/shoutouts ?

Yeah of course, I'd like to thank Purad [T/n : I'm really uncertain if I got that name right] for the work he's done, Cedrix too, for the gaming house I mean. My family, my mom, my brother and you for the interview, Jack. (pause) And the fans ! Of course, I love them !

What do you think about the Mill gaming house?

It's been less than 24 hours that I've come here so I can't say a lot. But the conditions are fine and I'll have to see how it's gonna turn. At the moment, I really like it.

What's the matter with the disguises at the 2v2 LDLC Trophy Cup?

I made two consecutive bets with Dignitas.Bling and the loser of each bet had to disguise in a certain costume. I lost the one where the loser had to dress up as a hobo, he lost other one and had to wear a hippie costume.

Do you like 2v2s?

Yeah, they're a lot more relaxed than 1v1s. There's less stress involved and we're generally having a lot more fun. We fool around quite a bit there It's not really a complicated thing, there's no special training for 2v2s - once you're good in 1v1s and you're teamed up with a competent teammate, you'll bring good results.

Do you like the HP Trophy tournament format?

It's definitely an interesting format but I'd like to have a bigger choice on the maps. There's always a map that I don't like so it's hard to know who's gonna be the one who's in charge of choosing the maps. Sorry (smiles). [T/N: I think he's basically critisizing the lack of good maps and the veto system. He's taking it with a smile tho.] Otherwise, it's really an interesting format with 2v2s and 4v4s, I like that.

What's going to be your next offline tournament?

Today I'll confirm my participation at Assembly which is gonna be my next offline event.

For how long are you planning to stay in the Gaming House?

I was planning to stay for 10 days to see how it goes. After that, I might be staying if I realize that playing there helps me more than playing at home.

Do you prefer playing with other gamers in a Gaming House [over playing by yourself]?

It's a lot more interesting to have someone next to you who can explain to you after a match what went wrong or what went right. But what's most important is the game itself and we can play that next to each other or with several miles between us.

Any shoutouts?

Sure. I'd like to thank Millenium, Bjoran [T/N: Millenium boss], Cédric, my family - i.e. my mother and my brother - you, Jack, for the interview. And the fans, sure! [T/N: He almost forgot but the interviewer reminded him :O] I love you all <3
