MODDII: "We played very well"

Event: PGS 2012
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

We had a quick chat with Andreas "MODDII" Fridh in the wake of fnatic's 2-1 victory against Natus Vincere in the PGS final, and asked the Swedish star about his team's display against the Ukrainians.

The Scandinavian side lost the first map, de_train, 22-18, but then turned the score around by winning de_dust2 and de_tuscan 16-13 and 16-5, respectively.

The second map got interrupted by almost an hour half way through the second half after the problems with the internet connection caused three players to disconnect from the server. The solution found was to replay the round, which fnatic had won, and set up $6,000 startmoney for Michael "Friis" Jørgensen and $4,500 for the rest.

In this interview, Fridh discusses fnatic's convincing victory on de_tuscan, the impact that the break had on his team and his expectations for DreamHack Winter.

Your team came out on top of de_tuscan 16-5. Did you expect such an easy job, considering that Na´Vi had already lost to Anexis on that map?

No, I did not expect that. I was really surprised. We played really well, we changed our playing style and they could not do that much about it. We just played very well and made all the right decisions.

After the break, you started playing better. Were you angry at Na´Vi and seeking revenge?

We were not angry at Na´Vi. We were really tired and it was annoying that the admins did not really know how to solve the problem. We just wanted to start playing. But it was nice to have a break, to break their momentum and to talk with the players, so I think it was really good for us.

What is your opinion about the admins' decision?

You can always talk about it. We did not agree on everything. The break benefited us but the decision itself did not, because we had won that round, we were up 3-0, and they would have to go on eco, so it would probably go 4-0 for us. But after the break we took one round and then lost the next one.


After the K1 League, your team will switch to CS:GO. What do you think about the game?

I have played it just a few times, and it was a month-and-a-half ago or something. We are going to talk about it when we come home from Romania and we will see what happens.

You will only have like one week to prepare for DreamHack Winter. Do you think that it would better not to attend the event at all?

I think we are going to attend it anyway, just to see how it goes and how good we are in that game. We will try to have fun and try to play against the top teams and hope for the best.

2012-10-16 02:41:37

2012-10-16 02:50:30

Unbelievable games,well down,moddii,I was wondering if u guys will feel comfortable playing 1.6 after u guys try CSOL,lol but seems everything was fine.

Hope to see you come back to China,so many fans there who love fnatic.

the best player in the history
2012-10-16 03:27:02
???????????????????????????????????????

without exaggeration porfavor am a huge fan of moddi because it was the best player I saw playing with fallen and markeloff, however he is not the best in history.
2012-10-16 03:42:42
He means blobby volley

True, andreas is the best in that game
2012-10-16 12:51:14
from what I see on their rankings, Katja (a girl) has been top1 for some years now
2012-10-16 12:54:12
Llol there's seriously a ranking for that game? Where'd you find it? And which tournaments have BV as a game :p
2012-10-16 12:59:02
it's an online league simillar to ESL, you challenge an opponent at a certain hour and if he accepts you'll play with him, http://www.blobby-volley.net/

I've played with the 3rd place (which is online btw) and he simply crushed me 30-0
2012-10-16 13:05:02
Loooooool :p I had no clue xD
2012-10-16 19:47:26
lmfao
2012-10-16 09:22:13
Nice.
2012-10-16 03:38:08
Will be interesting to see what fnatic do about their CSGO lineup. So far looks like even semi-pro 1.6 teams can be at the top in GO
2012-10-16 03:41:15
i dont think trace and karrigan will go over but i think the other 3 will try to adapt and get 2 new awesome players and form a team competing at top level.
2012-10-16 05:06:57
I hope they all switch and stay active
2012-10-16 12:52:35
+1 and we'll see epic clashes between fnatic and NiP again. Gonna be awesome to watch
2012-10-16 19:41:58
Yeah and hopeully navi, esc and many more!
2012-10-16 19:48:18
what were the circumstances surrounding the break?
2012-10-16 03:55:48
Ddos attack, internet and server troubles followed.

I waited for an hour and then went to bed as it was already too late
2012-10-16 12:53:54
agree
2012-10-16 05:13:58
I like MODDII's attitude concerning CS:GO. Considering how good they are as a team, they should at least advance past the group stage for DH Winter.
2012-10-16 05:17:40
If u see the frag Videos of MODDII... he is the best in one vs4-5 situations... I have seen his ESC gaming videos where he took out 5 players in many situations.. I just rate him the best Ahead of f0rest, markeloff & Gtr.
2012-10-16 08:34:16
He may very well become #1 of 2012, if he just maintains his form
2012-10-16 12:56:56
yea good thing no one else is playing

edward > moddii btw but would never get top rank because navi hasnt been winning

even tho i <3 moddii you guys cant really think hes the best thats still playing
2012-10-16 15:53:19
I'm sure hltv will also consider go players for their top20

And you surely can't have missed the countless threads where I said Edward finally reached his best form again all these matches and is a sure contender for #1 ? :p

That's why I said may become
2012-10-16 19:51:12
Ps: I think Edward will get this weekends mvp
2012-10-16 19:51:53
Good luck in CS:GO, MODDI & fnatic!
2012-10-16 08:50:06
Yeah Moddii played VERY well imo. I vote him for MVP. He had insane KD on some maps.
2012-10-16 08:52:14
What was the break for ? Player crash ?
What was the final decision ?
2012-10-16 10:39:43
Just want to say that moddii is becoming better and stronger now. FNATIC will rule cs:go scene given time.
2012-10-16 10:42:27
any VODs from tuscan??
2012-10-16 10:58:21
hltv only

MODDII was such beast again.. MVP! Best player of the last era of 1.6 for sure.. Hope fnatic will own in GO too! Good luck!
