It's already some time ago, since the swedish WHO? Crew became the pokerface of the Raw Gaming Clan. Today, they are able to grab the small perch in there front to get the last small chance to continue into the playoffs by beating the german irc hoster and idler of Bouncer4You.Gaming. Check out the opinion of noone else than Raw's Mint, in this interview.





Hey mint, nice to get you for some small questions. Tell us something about you and your team.
My name is Martin 'mint' Röjder and I play for Raw Gaming. Our Call of Duty 2 team consists of 5 players - dark, zEm, slize kickR and me. We used to be known as WHO crew but decided to join Raw Gaming when they offered us a spot and the possibility to attend the LANs we wanted to travel to, without them and the support from rawpoker.com we would never be able to.


What is your aim in this EC? You've recently lost against Dignitas and norhtern darkess. How small is your chance to continue to the playoffs?
Our goal in this EC waas to reach the playoffs. From what I've calculated and how the rules for number of teams proceding from the group to the playoffs works, I don't think we have any chance any more. This fact is ofcourse a dissapointment to us but some how we accept this since we know that online is not our arena, this is not meant as an excuse or in any way accusing any teams of being onliners, we just work worse together online, both on vent and ingame. We will hopefully play better in the upcoming event in belgium and hope to have a lot of fun there.


Tonight, Mr.Cbooky told us, you are in an advantage against bouncer for you. Since they have lost against dcvR, you are the clear favorite tonight. What's your prediction? Will there be a close match?
I think that this game can go either way, it's such a huge map with endless possiblilties to think up anything really. Whether we or Bouncer has an advantage is impossible for me to say, we have never played them on this map, and only once or twice on any other map, They had problems at playz and since then has made some changes in their line up if that is good for us or them is yet to be shown. Hopefully we will win, woul dbe good for our trainstation stats :P


As you told us before, the "Outpost on Fire" Lan Event, organized by tek9, will be one of the upcoming main events for CoD2. What else can be interesting? Do you see more chances for RAW on Lan Events? As you already showed your local power on the Playz9.
We hope to see you all back at the next playz event if it will come ( I do think it will ). Other than these 2 events there isn't really anything that has attracted our attention yet, maybe the eXperience LAN in denmark but we haven't really looked into that anything. So to all the event arrangers out there get your stuff in gear 'cause we want to play in your tournament!


Another thing, the community is talking about currently are the shoutcasting events. There are not that much for CoD2, but they are needed to hold a game at its level. Currently, some people support BFGeeks.com to get another Shoutcaster. What is your oppinion on that? Do you love iTG as much as I do or do we just have to wait for a cod2 TV mod?
Waiting for a cod2tv mod is something I wouldn't do, I waited most of the vCoD time for it to come and there was nothing! I do love iTG with toss and syn, they did manny good castings on cod2. Also callofduty.se has casted some of the swedish matches on Clanbase. I haven't got any clue on what BFGeeks do, but I think the more shouting the better. Though, I think that it needs to be organized some more and we have to look for a new server, cause if the shouters doesn't fit in the server it isn't fun - keep shouting tho!


I've got 3 more things for you, give me 3 back:
Hitlib on or off? - MR15, MR12 or something new? - Poker or Chess? :)
On, MR15 and Poker


Ok, thanks for your time and feel forced to send some clanless german players in #a.toon :D - Any greetings you want to send out?
I wanna give a shout to Raw Gaming and rawpoker.com, to my m8s and to amzalp who will be holding my hand on the flight to belgium, to qwerty who needs to take his kevlar off! and to zphrr we need to play more poker m8 and to every1 else :/




In a small conclusion of the last interviews, i would say the main part of the topteams prefer hitlib enabled in the CB and other competitions as mr15 System should be used in the upcoming cups for all teams. If you agree or not, you should think about your , hopefully serious, opinion and options you have.

Ofcourse, i wish both teams good luck in the upcoming match, maybe i'll get a shoutcaster for you to broadcast this match.
