Peter "Legionnaire" Neate, here at WCG 2005.
Above Frontiers of Mind is an ever-growing team and can boast with players as Strelok, White-Ra, sataNik and Shaman. Now they have picked up yet another player to strengthen their position in the FragBet League playoffs. The Australian Protoss player Legionnaire is their newest addition and will according to AFM leader Bartar play an important role in the GosuGamers FragBet League.
- His skill and experience will be invaluable for preparation and inner training for the coming FBL playoffs, says Bartar. He rates Legionnaire as Top 5 in his team and that he will bring the extra click needed when playing against Templars of Twilight and MeetYourMakers.
Legionnaire isn't as superlative as his manager, but he thinks that joining AFM will force him to play more which he needs for World Cyber Games in particular. When asked about his chances in the upcoming World Cyber Games, the bronze finalist from last year said they were not so good.
- I am so out of practice and I'm pretty bad now. I started seriously practicing again two days ago so we will see how it goes, says Legionnaire. When asked on what he thought of his group, he said that apart from iloveoov he can't complain.
- There are some easier groups and some harder ones so I'm not upset. I just hope I will be good enough on the day to come second in the group, he adds.
“
- Time will tell, I'm not quite sure if they get a good deal in having me join or not, it could easily backfire, he says and laughs.
- I'll just do my best and I'm sure everyone else will as well, and that's all you can ask to do, Legionnaire adds.
Do you get sponsored by AFM in any way?
- Well they promised me that they would all wear beanies saying 'we love kangaroos' at WCG... What more could I ask for? If I pressed them hard i might have got a few koala supporters as well... but maybe next time.
GosuGamers brings up the sponsorship part with Bartar, and he gives us quite a long and slippery answer - as always when it comes to managers talking about the subject.
- It's not a secret that AFM is evolving into a sponsored multiteam. We are at first stages yet but already we have received offers from established German multiteams to be part of them, Bartar reveals. He adds though that they prefer to take care of it on their own and get the best deals from sponsors that favours their team. The core players in Above Frontiers of Mind do get sponsored, but he won't say with what.
