Chains Stack, a SEA mix team led by David 'r1sk' Arnous has been the talks of many especially after toppling both For.Love and Rising Stars in the second phase of G-1 League. Gosugamers pulled r1sk aside for an interview about Chains Stack and how far does he think his team will go in G-1 League.
After the disbandment of N9, you have moved on to be a part of this team called Chains Stack. How did this team come to be?
Most of my former teammates didn't want to continue anymore so I just started spamming pubs. I added many people to friends and some added me during this period. After a while I met Chains who were actually asked to join N9 after 'The Asia'. He wasn't able to play due to time contraints with his army obligations. I pubbed alot with Chains and his group asked me to play a Gosucup with them. We didn't do all that well because we were a team of like 4 farmers. I then decided to make my team, choosing players that I pubbed a lot with and I ended up with the four we have currently.
We understand that some of the players might not be around for the phase 3 of the G-1 qualifiers. Do you mind explaining more about that?
Yeah, unfortunately LEGENDARY has a holiday coming up at the end of this week for approximately 5 days and JoHnNy has school commitments for a week (also starting next week). So we may have to play phase 3 matches with stand-ins but it really isn't the fault of our two players. There are so many matches to be played that this was bound to happen for a non-pro team.
You guys took a lot of people by surprise of late taking down two Chinese teams, For.Love and Rising Stars in phase two of the G-1 Asia qualifiers. How does it feel upsetting the strong favourites coming into the qualifiers?
It feels fantastic. The whole team is surprised at the level of play that we've been able to sustain. Everyone must remember though that both FL and Rstars have had recent roster changes and I am sure that they will grow stronger as time goes by. I guess we are a bit lucky that we got to go up against the more unstable teams from China.
