[9:47:39 AM] Piyal Shaikh: firstly, thanks for accepting the invitation for an interview
[9:47:47 AM] F1Re: anytime bro
[9:48:10 AM] Piyal Shaikh: so I and probably all of aoc community would love to know ur name
[9:48:31 AM] F1Re: Haha, my name is Helenês Romano Cândido. Hehe a little tricky it’s my Grandpa’s name as well
[9:49:08 AM] Piyal Shaikh: hmm... So named after Ur grandpa, that’s great so umm... What do u actually do except killing everyone in aoc
[9:49:42 AM] F1Re: haha, I’m doing last year of law school: P well at least I expect to finish this year!
[9:50:22 AM] Piyal Shaikh: so Ur soon going to be in a black coat rocking the courts of Brazil...: D roxx
[9:50:36 AM] F1Re: Yah haha I hope!
[9:50:49 AM] Piyal Shaikh: ok we better get on topic here, about the medieval wars, what was ur first view when you got to know of the Tournament.
[9:51:36 AM] F1Re: well I got super excited. The fact that the sponsor is donating 10k usd I was sure that all the top players would be back to play it! And I started to think about my team as well hehe
[9:53:17 AM] Piyal Shaikh: ok, that brings us on the big question, Team Fully Torqued, whose idea was it? Tell us a bit about ur team.
[9:54:01 AM] F1Re: well, everybody knows that i am a big friend of Goku so we think a little and the initial idea was to call two more strong players and team up. Then we called Slam, who is a well know player. And he told us that he was thinking to call Hasan to our team. And they are friend of some guys like whack, Lou (aka Ra) Matt (Tsc Blade) etc they used to be a team the immortals
[9:57:07 AM] Piyal Shaikh: hmm, so basically the legendary ass kickers from Moa 2v2 joined with the immortals to form the team? What really intrigues me is the name, who thought of that?
[9:57:34 AM] F1Re: Don’t know if u watched a TV series called "Workaholics" haha there are some friends Crazy ones hehe, and the idea became of an episode of this Series ill link u haha just a sec.. F1Re: PS- Whack´s idea hehe... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E1JLR-h_bE. The thing is that I was already a big fan of the show, so I loved hehe
[9:59:33 AM] Piyal Shaikh: ok so TFT comes from a Episode of the TV Series "Workaholics".. :D, that sounds awesome lol
[9:59:56 AM] F1Re: yeah 11 u should watch it! Very funny show 11
[10:00:07 AM] Piyal Shaikh: surely will... :D
[10:00:18 AM] F1Re: this link its pretty funny 11 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E1JLR-h_bE
[10:00:47 AM] Piyal Shaikh: ok so among the ones that have already qualified to ur group are the Bad Boys Crew and Rulers of Rome.. what do you think of your opponents in the group stage?
[10:02:32 AM] F1Re: I have to check Bad boys crew guys, but about RoR, they are a well know Clan, since Zone, and I bet they should be very hard to beat. RoR have a big history of high level players. I see Erhan and Elemi in their team, terror and others , yeah I think that’s going to be tuff
[10:05:30 AM] Piyal Shaikh: hmm.. so they seemingly are the biggest threat to u right now? what would be ur usual plan if u were to face them, like preparation and things
[10:06:11 AM] F1Re: Well I like to be prepared for everything, I said to my team that we have to practice every single possible map.. and I see that RoR could pick Arena.. Possibly will be a map that we going to start to play more often, if u know what I mean hehe. We have _Ra_ which is a great arena player as well, I think I’m going to ask his opinion about it hehe
[10:08:04 AM] Piyal Shaikh: hehe ok so tell me in descending order which 3 teams do u think are ur biggest threats in the tournament
[10:09:24 AM] F1Re: well Tyrant is the #1 for sure they are strong and I’ve been practicing with kkab and viper lately and I really got impressed 11 especially about Kkab.
[10:10:22 AM] F1Re: I would say that RVK is #2 everyone knows their power
[10:10:43 AM] F1Re: and the CKF but u see, there are so many good teams, with such a close level, that is very hard to predict anything @@
[10:11:45 AM] Piyal Shaikh: including TFT. some people in aoczone feel that you all will do really well, ok, so as I was saying, many of ur fans out there seem to be really confident about TFT doing brilliant in the tournament, how far are you confident about yourselves? as in where do you see yourself in this tournament?
[10:15:20 AM] F1Re: well I truly believe that we can hit top 3 goku have improved so much lately, slam is one of the best players at the moment and we have the experience of old school too.. as I said to then, we need to focus and practice a lot and we will do it for sure!
[10:18:02 AM] Piyal Shaikh: That sounds really good, a question that comes to my mind is, before entering MoA 2v2, what did u and Goku do to prepare, ull broke almost everyone’s expectations by nearly dominating everyone in the tournament
[10:18:25 AM] F1Re: well we are friend a long time ago so we play a lot together, reaching a point that I think that we almost complete each other in a lot of aspects of the game so we just started to play, to play a llooottt ! hehe and with the help of Rvk Stark, we improved, and managed to kill some great players hehe. Unfortunately we did some mistakes that did cost us a real change to hit top 2.
[10:21:54 AM] Piyal Shaikh: hehe, np, ull did unimaginably great and that’s all that matters really, and theres always a next time, in fact it is almost next time. gogo TMW!
[10:22:19 AM] F1Re: yeah ! It will be amazing, can’t wait for it.
[10:22:50 AM] Piyal Shaikh: ok, now a few questions about you. when did u actually start playing aoc. who introduced you to the game? or did u get it yourself?
[10:24:44 AM] F1Re: Well I remember to play aoc when I was 13 (I have 25 now) , of course, I used to play Offline, vs. the computer and mostly Campaigns. And I have a good friend in real life that used to play a lot Online, he used to be _Cascan_ on zone. He introduced me the Online experience, and I loved it since the beginning about 8 years ago.
[10:26:40 AM] Piyal Shaikh: hmm that’s cool, and one question that lurks in every noob/average players minds, when did u start improving a lot? And how did u actually do it? what’s the secret?
[10:28:00 AM] F1Re: Well, I believe that there is no secret to get better, in my case, I started to watch the Tops record games, and try to copy... and play a lot! eventually u going to start to do the same things that they do, and at this moment I tried to add my feeling about the game u know. today its way more easy to improve ur gameplay. With all those amazing players streaming, the beginner have a chance to see what a expert do, and sometimes how they think.
[10:30:38 AM] Piyal Shaikh: hmm, point taken and will be implemented by many I’m sure :D.
[10:31:42 AM] F1Re: Yeah. It’s really simple I’m my opinion, ah and I can’t forget that are many players giving lessons too !
[10:31:56 AM] Piyal Shaikh: yeah, agreed, ok next one, what are ur favorite map(s) and civ(s)?
[10:32:34 AM] F1Re: Arabia - Huns, well u see, I’m talking about Arabia, but if a player really wants to improve, he must try FR or even MR ...
[10:34:06 AM] Piyal Shaikh: hehe, seems to be many peoples favorite especially seeing the aoczone 1v1 expert recs nowadays. ok in your many years of online experience who has been your favorite player? and why?
[10:35:05 AM] F1Re: I always loved how aggressive L Clan Capoch used to play... his fwd was amazing.. u see, people say a lot about koven Iori Daut Chris etc.. I and must admit, they were/are still amazing, but there was something about Capoch´s gameplay that amused me haha
[10:37:23 AM] Piyal Shaikh: hehe.. ok so, this is a good one, do u think aoc influences ur real life? if so then how?
[10:38:57 AM] F1Re: Well, I used to be impulsive guy in real life, u know. A thing that I learn with aoc is that u must be patience, and thing about every single aspect of ur act before u do it. that the biggest thing about aoc for me hehe. and of course, u have to try to think ahead, sometimes even out of the box.
[10:44:57 AM] Piyal Shaikh: ok so, returning to TMW, what do u think of the map Light Random
[10:46:32 AM] F1Re: I like it, its a chance to test all the skills of a player.but i would be worried about it cuz sometimes its a lil bit unfair hehe
[10:47:03 AM] Piyal Shaikh: hehe, ok we are coming towards the end, and i would like to play a game with you (credits to Adolfmv), its called fast answer. Let me explain you the rules these are as follow. I sayd a word and you got to answer the first thing comes to your mind as shorter as posible. Understood?
