We got a hold of Björn "threat" Pers before playing his first game at Arbalet Cup Best of Four.
fnatic is about to play UNiTED in their first game in the tournament, we managed to speak with Björn threat Pers before he got called on stage.
Soon you will play the first match against UNiTED, what are you expecting in this match?
They have a good team, though they have not performed well lately, losing to a mix team at The Gathering, but maybe they just had a bad day, they still have a really good team. I think we will win, but it will be tough.
What strengths do you see UNiTED having as a team?
Russian players are usually very unpredictable, so they will have a small advantage there, also I think that AdreN is really good individually.
What will the recipe to beating UNiTED be?
Just play our own game, I think that will be enough to beat UNiTED.
Five straight maps, how to you stay focused and on top of your game for so long?
Well we will try to drink a lot of drinks, eat some chocolate, but I have never played this many maps in a row, so I really do not know what we could do to stay on top.
What do you think of Kiev CyberSport Arena, comparing it to other LAN centers you have visited around the world?
It has some really cool features, like the de_nuke paintings on the walls and stuff like that, but still its not finished, so I think the final results will be really great and I think it is better compared to other LAN centers I have been to.
What will the key to win Arbalet Cup Best of Four be for the winning team?
If you can keep up the great play, not just on one map, since it is fifteen maps to play per team, so you have to play really stable all the time, I think that will be the key factor.
The match between fnatic and UNiTED will start in roughly one hour.
