Kanaliiga CS #3 main series MKP players & interview
The best player in the regular season of each level, or MKP (Most Kana Player), is now known, and below are small interviews with each player.
MKT - Lehtu, Polar Squad - Kanarating: 1.90
How does it feel to win the MKP prize of the MKT level series? - It’s great, even if getting to the semis would have been even better! When I was a little skid, I dreamed of winning something in the CS field, and now it has been achieved.
What’s the feeling of winning the Ace statistics of the entire Kanaliiga, even though maintenance forbade taking too many Aces? ;) - Well, this is what we were sent to get from the very beginning when the challenge was called out on the captains’ channel, that is, I tried to collect as many aces as possible and the rest of the team got to act as cannon fodder ;) Well, no.. It’s also a great honor to receive this kind of recognition among such hard players!
What was your role in the team? (igl, awp, support..) - If a role should be named IGL & AWP, although in some maps like Vertigo, AWP doesn’t have a big role.
If you could describe your performance during the season with a movie, which movie would it be? - Terminator would probably be too clichéd an answer? Let’s say Hot Shots 2? :D
What was the strength of your team this season? - Team spirit was definitely our strength and the fact that we weren’t stressed about the results at all. We just had fun and shot heads!
Did the team’s game develop during the season? - Absolutely amazing! Most of our team has not hacked GO before.
And which player do you think improved the most and in which area did you notice? - Our whole team developed incredibly, it’s really hard to name just one player. However, I would say that for the sake of the stats, Tinkki, in the first matches there less than ten frags and now in the semi-finals we already reached 20+
Where did your game nickname come from? - Traditionally, from the last name. The game Nicki has changed so many times over the years from 1.6 —> CS:GO and they are so embarrassing that there is no point in naming them here now :D
What is your most unusual or strange skill? - Probably a DIY attitude towards everything. For example, I built myself a water-cooled wooden desk computer and of course with RGB lights!
To whom are greetings sent? - Of course you have to send greetings to your wife when this “hobby” is possible! And of course for the whole Polar Squad family! In the next season, we will then be in semis, prkl
SEMIPRO - Topsu, Vincit - Kanarating: 1.55
How does it feel to win the MKP prize of the Semi-Pro level series? - Until the end, I was worried whether I or Joelb would end up with a higher rating, but it’s really nice that it turned out this way
What was your role in the team? (igl, awp, support..) - Full time IGL, but I also played awp and entry when the situation called for it. However, they tried to keep me alive to solve the rounds.
If you could describe your performance during the season with a movie, which movie would it be? - Titanic. With good self-confidence, I sailed towards the playoffs, but in the end I caused the ship to sink
What was the strength of your team this season? - All the players in the team were able to win games when needed, even under heavy pressure
Did the team’s game develop during the season? - In a few matches, the game was a bit fumbling, but once a working style of play and maps were found, things started to flow
And which player do you think improved the most and in which area did you notice? - Shaedar hadn’t played much CSGO before, but during the tournament he was able to remember the callouts and, especially on the ct side, managed to play really good rounds and win a couple of clutches
Where did your game nickname come from? - Has been a nickname since childhood
What is your most unusual or strange skill? - I can play the chicken league season without tilting
To whom are greetings sent? - For colleagues. Especially for those who have participated in chicken league tournaments. However, I would like more pen games.
PRO - deksu, Elisa Seinäjoki - Kanarating: 1.33
How does it feel to win the Pro level series MKP award? - That’s fine, but the main goal now is to win the entire Kanaliiga. Of course, the wish would have been a rematch in the final against another Elisa team, but now a possible encounter will happen sooner if both make it to the semi-finals.
What was your role in the team? (igl, awp, support..) - IGL, support and every place planer
If you could describe your performance during the season with a movie, which movie would it be? - You can’t even make a movie like that
What was the strength of your team this season? -The strength was definitely inferno, we were really strong and the tactics worked
Did the team’s game develop during the season? - It’s definitely learned to play with each other better
And which player do you think improved the most and in which area did you notice? - landscape boy of course, they say the global elite is already close.
Where did your game nickname come from? - It doesn’t matter, I probably had to come up with a cool nick and this one was chosen for it in the end..
What is your most unusual or strange skill? - You don’t know how to praise yourself, that is, no skills or specialties.
To whom are greetings sent? - Greetings to our fans!
