Where do you see your team a season or two from now? Any special Goals?
Our main focus right now is to make ESEAmain playoffs. It is a long stretch since the spot we've taken over had a very rough record. Our best bet to earn a spot in playoffs would be to win out our next 4 matches with minimal rounds given. This will give us a chance to compete for an ESEAinvite spot which is the ultimate goal as of now. We hope to see ourselves with a spot in ESEAinvite within the next two seasons as well as succeeding on lan.
What decided you to try pursue the Hostile Faction name?
Hostile Faction is a name that echoes daily throughout the gaming community. We have a great deal of respect for the impact they have made on gaming. With some of the very best staff members and support system, they have opened the doors for many teams and gave countless opportunities. A teammate of mine approached me and said Hostile Faction was looking for a CS 1.6 team but I was very skeptical as to whether an organization such as this would even consider such a new team. Hostile Faction has showed nothing but full respect and professionalism. They respected the individual experience that this lineup had to offer and understood what needed to happen in order for us to be the best team we could be. We appreciate greatly for the hospitality that Hostile Faction has given us and now a permanent home for us to grow and put together these individual experiences.
Do you have any future plans to attend any events?
Yes. 2010 is going to be a very busy year for CS 1.6 with many big LAN events and we plan to attend as many as possible. The lan that is on top of our list would be WCG which we will have to earn a spot in an online qualifier. But we plan to attend a few smaller LANS such as LethalGamers to prepare us. We have also been discussing about a good time and place to boot camp with our new lineup which we hope to do very soon.
How do you feel about your new roster additions?
I feel very grateful to have some the most dedicated and passionate players of North America. As an ingame leader, it is very stressful when you realize not all your players have the same goal and some are less motivated than others. With a great organization such as Hostile Faction backing and supporting such an experienced and active lineup, we expect to make a big splash in the gaming community. We've set our standards very high because we know we are capable of achieving them, and with a lineup that motivates each other every night and a new home that supports us greatly, we feel as if nothing can stop us.
Statement to Fans and Hostile Faction Management
We are a team with players located all over United States. Before we came to be this lineup, each one of us were playing for a local team with the same goal: to grow with our teams and make a big impact on LAN because that is what separates the best from the rest. Although with the success that each of us had with our own teams, throughout time, teammates of ours have lost motivation to practice and be the best we could be, so the progress of our teams were put to a halt. I was able to bring xEEEtrov, one of my very best players from a Chicago LAN team known as paraGon eSports along with me in search of a new lineup. We were able to acquire one of Texas' very best, sinysteR, who was playing with a local team called MugNMouse. Then we came across DuTcH, who was fragging for Florida's top team, MaveN. After a long search for a 5th, we received the news that GameFrog's LAN team has just disbanded, and we immediately asked  desiweezeh to come play with us. As I've mentioned earlier, these players still have the full potential and passion to keep going and take it to the next level, and I am very fortunate to acquire the players who have made the greatest impacts on their teams.
We would like to thank all of our supporters throughout the years who have followed our cs career and pushed us to be the best we could be. We would like to thank all our past teammates for getting us this far and contributing to the success we shared. And lastly, thank you to all the members of Hostile Faction for such a warm welcome and accepting us to the family. The next few months are going to be very busy for us with ups and downs and we hope you are by our side every step of the way.
