Over the past year, Adrian 'Fata' Trinks has worked his way from an almost unknown player to the captain of mousesports, a top tier team in the European scene. GosuGamers caught up with him to talk about mousesports' development over the past months, his thoughts on Gyrocopter and pro gaming.

Take me to the interview!


Here is an excerpt from the interview:

[...]

And it seemed to work out. Some time around New Year’s, your team managed to sustain a winning streak of over 10 consecutive matches, what happened?

“To be honest, that was actually a period of minimal practice due to some real life issues of one of our members. What mainly led to the strong winning streak we had was in my opinion the combination of a good and (rather) innovative game strategy - Gyro middle with a lot of focus of the two supports on mid lane, trying to gank/countergank - a positive attitude and a good mood as well as good team communication and coordination.”

[...]

If you could, would you go full pro and live off your gaming salary?

”Only if the money I made would be enough to secure the rest of my life. So rather not *laughs*. If in ten years nobody is interested in me as a gamer anymore (or in the game as a whole), I’m stuck with no degree or anything.”

[...]

Definitely. Rotations from supports aside, could you recall the hardest match-up you had in the midlane, meaning which player gave you the hardest time in a competitive game?

“Probably Dendi. His control of the midlane is simply so good. Other than that, I don't really fear anyone else in mid *laughs*. The most interesting matchup for me is probably against s4 though.”

Why is that?

“Because it often ends up in one of us totally winning/losing the lane. Last time he was 30 cs ahead of me. The next time I solo killed him twice and the game after that, he firstbloods me *laughs*.”
