MRO: Battalion 1944 Interview - dOUBTFUL

Incoming is our final interview for the MRO: Battalion 1944 Open, with our final team being dOUBTFUL. What isn't a doubt, however, is the fact that they''re a top contender for the podium. Thus, we got in contact with GibsoNNN, the captain behind the squad, to learn more about the team's thoughts. 

1.) Which was the best team you competed against during the group stage? Why?

I'll have to agree with many of the other captains in saying that the best team my team has competed against was definitely Project Eversio.

2.) With that being said, which player/s specifically were simply a pain to play against?

For me, in general, all on the same level of skill but reed is an exceptional player and we are looking forward to play against him again! Everyone is really showing up in this event. 

3.) How far do you expect your team to travel in this competition? What placement are you aiming for?

We are aiming to place 1st but that's every team's hope - naturally. Top 3 would be great, but first is that much sweeter with the recently announced bonus prize!

4.) Who do you think, if not your own team, is the best team playing at this event, the team to avoid in the bracket?

In the limited time that Battalion 1944 has been out, preparation for the event has been incredibly event and is synonymous with performance at this point. With that being said, the best prepared team is Project Eversio and I would like to avoid them in the coming brackets.

5.) Describe the level of competition you’ve been encountering across the tournament. Did you expect such a level?

On the whole, we experienced a high level of skill and strategies when it came against top teams like EvH and Eversio and we expected it. 

6.) How has the experience been like to compete in the MRO: Battalion 1944 Open?

I this competition in general - no serious complaints in specific. Personally, as a team captain, it's been an opportunity to build as a team - creating better communication skills and learning from other teams.

7.) The final question – do you have any suggestions you’d like to pass on the team at Gamers.com.mt for our future Battalion 1944 events to better the experience?

In my opinion, I would highly recommend that the future will have more normal LAN competition unlike this one. In this situation, where we needed to play a lot of wars from home, other parts of life get in the way in terms of time and priority. 

On the whole, looking back at all these 6 insightful interviews, it's been fantastic for everyone on the whole. We had the chance to make connections with the team captains and rack up some opinions. It's too bad that two teams in particular either didn't reply or make an effort to deliver proper answers. We hope that you've all enjoyed reading them and we look forward to doing this more often. 

Our next interview will be external to the event, as we'll be contacting a personality well known to many Maltese gamers - and that's the only hint you'll be getting.
