MLG: In his recent interview with ESPN, Naded had a lot to say about Carbon - and you specifically. So we’re going to ask you the same question he was asked: In your opinion, why is Naded no longer a part of Carbon? Cpt Anarchy: We dropped Naded from Carbon due to the fact that he never got on to play on his own. We understood that he had a girlfriend and a child on the way, so of course you have to deal with a new born child over Halo; We got that. What we didn’t get was why he would go into “Emo Naded” and start yelling about how much he hated Halo 3. When we LANed vs. Str8 right before Vegas, he basically quit in the LAN saying he didn’t want to try anymore because we were losing one of the 11 games pretty bad. His dedication wasn’t there, and his attitude was even worse. Before we played Final Boss on Main Stage, we scrimmed Classic. We lost one of the games and he got so mad he slammed his controller and had to use a new one. We did not drop him because of his child. That is not true at all. Naded was an amazing player - yes; great team player - no. He baited us a ton and stuck us in the worst part of maps. Go back and watch TS Construct against Str8 in Vegas. Watch us sit at gold and spawn and die and lose. Yeah, Ghost tried to control his crazy routes - but that was only to advance our control of the map. MLG: So you’re saying his relationship with his girlfriend had very little to do with the situation? Cpt Anarchy: Very little. Naded told us before Vegas that it could be his last tourney. He was about to be a father and didn’t know if he would keep playing. This was dating back all the way to Dallas. We figured since we had just gotten a 3rd, we could get a 4th that would be on a lot more and didn’t have something as big as Naded did going on in his life. MLG: There were also a few choice words spoken regarding the leadership on Carbon. Who’s really calling the shots on the team? Cpt Anarchy: With respected team names such as Carbon, comes respected team members. I am the third highest ranking Carbon member on the team. I don’t call any shots - I give my insight. Everything always goes through Shockwave. Even when we decided to drop Naded, Shockwave had second thoughts. It took a lot of decisive thinking. Carbon has been an MLG franchise for a while. I am one of the newer players, so of course our captain Shockwave and Ghost have more knowledge than I do. MLG: So ultimately things are in Shockwave’s hands, but you all throw your input in where it’s needed? Cpt Anarchy: Yea. It goes from me, to Ghost, and then finally to Shockwave. He has the final say. Ghost and Shockwave control the power on the team. Interview continues on page 2> |
