Video: MODDII & trace interview
By: Nix0n
Time: 2012-07-29 03:23
Event: GameGune 2012
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

Right after the final of GameGune 2012 we caught up with two members of the winning team, Andreas "MODDII" Fridh and Martin "trace" Heldt to hear what they had to say.

fnatic won the grand final over Natus Vincere with a 3-1 result after coming from the upper bracket, and it was the third time in a row that they defeated the Ukrainians in a championship match, after Copenhagen Games and DreamHack Summer.

However, it was their first title since Martin "trace" Heldt was added to the team and it was also his first victory over Natus Vincere at a major tournament after two and half years of unsuccessful attempts.

Aside from that, Heldt and Andreas "MODDII" Fridh comment on the match itself, including one interesting situation that happened on de_train, as well as the future plans of fnatic's CS squad.

They later touch on the performance of their in-game leader who topped the scoreboard more often than not, while CS:GO was also mentioned during the interview, so if any of that tickles your interests, hit play below.

Remember to up the quality to 720p or 1080p for best viewing experience.

what the hell happened on that train pistol?
2012-07-29 03:40:26
fnatic's strat: 2 guys moving to B (b1 on brazil), and 3 moving alley (fundo)

but edward sneaked into middle and spotted the 3 guys (and c4) moving to alley. instead of shooting, he called of his team to block alley :D

I understand you are annoyed and sorry I couldnt make it happen. Some times there simply isnt enough time. Once an interview is recorded, it can take up to one hour, or more in some cases, before its available. As you saw in the playoffs, Na`Vi had a lot of matches in a row, without much break.
2012-07-29 11:26:29
Makes me happy to see trace winning an event by beating Navi.
He worked hard for it and he really deserves it.
2012-07-29 08:35:57
Awww, he looks so unused to the video limelight xD

Well played fnatic. Shame it wasn't ESC in the final vs them. But oh well.
2012-07-29 09:48:49
trace is so shy :D

this fnatic lineup (and the lineup with Gux) is probably one of the best i have ever seen in years (yes, better than f0rest, GTR and ex-SK lineup)
2012-07-29 11:13:53
I don't mean to be rude but that was a lame interview IMO. Both of them so shy :S

Trace seems like a really really humble and nice guy.

If you read this.

I was kinda confused bout you being slight overrated, in some strange way and wrong way i imagined that picture, i was wrong this time. So I feel like apologize (hope it works) my bad there.. :]

Wish you good luck for rest of CS career and beyond that... may the force be with you. ... :D can you win another final vs navi or this was one hit wonder, ofc its not "one hit wonder" do it one more time and its for real, "almost like a habbit". :)

ps: [kotkotN gaymode] : off

.... :D

Trace didn`t seem very happy during interview for some reason. Maybe he was just tired.
