WinOut

Looking at your style of play people could draw comparisons to things which reminds them of players like zet, HeatoN and f0rest for example.  Have these or any other players influenced your game and if so what have you taken from their styles?

Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund:  I have always watched other players and maybe "taken" some of their playing style.  I have always looked up to HeatoN, cArn, f0rest and other players.  Maybe running and shooting from f0rest/zet and always that fake flash from HeatoN.

In Swedish CS it seems as though the progression cycle is kind of one way with young up and coming players being recruited while older top players seem to retire rather than try to get back to the type by joining the 3rd or 4th best team.  As an insider how would you explain that situation and do you think it's something about the Swedish mindset that causes that to be the case?

Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund:  I don't know really, I think it is more about motivation there.  Noone really wants to grab the ladder again and climb it.  I think it's in the mentality/culture, it's better to leave on top than leave when you are going I guess.

After a sparkling 2008 and a good start in 2009 winning the EM III European finals mTw seem to have lost their way, running into fnatic early on at ESWC Chenoan and finishing 4th at Kode5.  What do you think of mTw and are they still the same team from 2008 that can win major titles or have the rest of the teams figured them out now?  Do you feel like their time is over?

Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund:  I don't think their time is over, I think they are still a good team and a high level team that can win tournaments still.  I don't know why they have problems right now, or do they even have problems?  I don't know.  I think every team knows what they are doing, and know what their weak spot is.

SK.swe seem to overcome their problems from earlier in the year and have been playing a lot better in terms of the recent major tournaments as victories over teams like mTw and WICKED in big matches has shown.  Still they seem to have had real problems when facing your team in finals and other big matches.  They have beaten you on the domestic level or in the group stage but in those big match-ups you always come out on top at the moment.  What do you think of that SK team and do you feel like they are closer to fnatic's level than the numbers have shown?  With their string of 2nds do you feel like there is distance between them and the rest of the pack (WICKED and mTw) or not?

Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund:  I think they are a good team (SK) but I think there are still some metres left to be close with us.  I think we've still got new stuff that other teams haven't seen.  I think they have something in their minds against us, we have won two finals against them.  Even three if you want to say when me and Gux won against them at DreamHack Summer with lemondogs.  I don't really thinks it's closer between them and the rest because we've got problems every time we meet mTw, but they can just win over them.

Fans always want to argue about who is better: f0rest or neo.  It's like kids arguing over which comic book characters would win in a fight.  What similarities do you see between those two players and can you add any insight to the matter?

Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund:  f0rest can win a match for your team, neo can win a match for his team.  I don't really know anything about neo, he seems like a nice guy and good too, but I think f0rest is better than him mostly beacuse I play with f0rest and I have seen some crazy shit from him.

Does f0rest's status as one of the great players long before you got to the top mean he'll always have extra mystique to his game for you or do you feel like GeT_RiGhT can become the best player in the world if he practices and plays hard enough?

Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund:  Well I think I can be that good but as long as f0rest is playing I think he's a better player then me :P
