What teams are the most fearsome opponents at Dreamhack Winter in your opinion?
“The lack of teams in Dreamhack is a really sad thing. Because of DYA there are going to be only Swedish teams. There are still going to be some decent teams attending such as wahl and Druidz. I don’t know the full list of teams that are coming but hopefully there’s enough so that we can have a good tournament overall.”
What are your thoughts on new hero Moraxus?
“I haven’t played him myself yet, but what I’ve seen from Freshpro he’s a really good hero overall. After he gets a portal key he can be a really good initiator and the enemies cannot really do anything since he can use ultimate straight away and tank a lot of damage. He’s still a new hero though so it will take a while before teams can fully utilize him.”
Victory in that match set up very anticipated finals between you and EG in winner bracket final. Last time you faced each other EG prevailed 2 to 1. Are you ready to face them again and how does it feel for you now that you know they are going to be your opponent in winner bracket final match?
“It’s going to be a tough match and I’m really looking forward to it. I know that there’s going to be some server issues as I know a certain individual likes to make it such a huge deal. Personally, I don’t really care discussing that too much. It’s been a long time since we faced a really huge threat so we have to be prepared. We have a few aces in our sleeves that might surprise EG and catch them off guard. I also think that we can beat them by just playing solidly with our normal line-ups. We’ll have to wait and see.”
Being huge favourites to go all the way in the Steelseries HoN Masters, looks like the upcoming DreamHack might become a stroll in the park for Fnatic, unless other teams massively step up their game. Looks like the only chance for the greatly anticipated EG vs MSI match-up will only happen online for now.
