Timeout With SnipeDown

MLG: Are you sticking with the name Heaven & Earth? KillerDrew: Yep. It’s the greatest name in the history of sports! MLG: So what have you seen from Chig so far, and what does he bring to the team? KillerDrew: Well I think he has a ton of talent. I haven’t played with him enough to explain how he plays, but I know he’s really good. Plus he has what it takes, so we will work him into our aggressive playstyle. MLG: How have you spent your time since Meadowlands? KillerDrew: Well I haven’t been playing as much as I would like. I’ve been hanging out with friends, and last week was my spring break. But I [i]have[/i] been dominating kids in Halo Wars. (laughs) Now that the team situation is all figured out, I think we are going to get back to business and practicing every day. MLG: Tell us what it meant to be named the Old Spice Rising Star Featured Contender. KillerDrew: Poweezy has been telling me he’s the reason I got it, and that he taught me everything. So I'd like to give him all the credit! (laughs) When I got the call, I was kind of surprised because I had forgotten all about it. But by no means does it give me reason to let up. I have to stay focused and do everything I can to help my team improve. That’s the most important thing. MLG: What type of player do you consider yourself? KillerDrew: A team player. I think everybody on the team should be doing everything in any situation. I trust all of my teammates with whatever they do and they trust me. Every single person has to be selfless and play to win. It doesn’t matter how positive or how negative somebody goes. MLG: What are your thoughts on coaches? KillerDrew: I think it depends on what the coaches are doing. They can be a good thing or a bad thing. I think somebody repeating callouts would be annoying, but somebody reminding us of Overshield and rocket times would be really useful. And it would really help if he’s good friends with the team. We are a slow talking, calm team. So if somebody is screaming in our ears and getting us all frantic, I think it may knock us off our game. But if a team can find the right person it would definitely be a positive. MLG: Tell us about the match-up against Status Quo. KillerDrew: Well, we had played them in one of the placement rounds and ended up losing 3-2. We were off our game all weekend long, so on Saturday night we talked for a few hours about what we needed to do differently. We knew what we had ahead of us - Uprising, Ambush, and then Status Quo. So we showed up and did exactly what we talked about. I think we won 3 straight against them, and I knew we were going to win. They beat us on Narrows CTF pretty easily, but we took the next game and ended the series. MLG: What’s the plan for the new H&E heading into Columbus? KillerDrew: After Meadowlands, we knew what we did wrong, and what gametypes we need to work on. So we’re going to take that, learn from it, and improve. We don’t have any LANs planned as of right now, but we are definitely going to look into that. We want to play every day. With Hokum we played maybe twice a week. MLG: Lastly, what do you like best about being on H&E? KillerDrew: Wow, where do I start? I’ve known Poweezy for about 5 years now, and I consider him a good friend. We all get along so great, I can’t ask for anything more. Perplexity is the only person I’ve ever trusted grabbing snipe instead of me. He does some pretty ridiculous things. I just love the team, and I love my teammates. We always keep our heads up. I was watching our VoD against Status Quo on Onslaught CTF. They had the lead, and I was thinking to myself, "I don’t remember them getting the lead once." So whenever we are down, we keep playing without noticing. And that is probably our best quality. |
