GameReplays: Jim tell me a little about yourself, where are you from, where do you live, what is your occupation? Rainbow you also.

Jim: I'm 18 years old, I'm from Greece and I live in Athens. I'm still a student at school but in September I'll study in the University that it's main subject is History.

GameReplays: Tell me about RoM and how you like it and how long you have been in it.

Jim: I like RoM pretty much because it is a very cool clan with very cool guys in it.

Rainbowsix007: In RoM I'm quite fresh as you know, but I'm glad to have made the decision to join RoM. It's a great clan for me, as there are no duties and I can feel free, and I'm glad to win the tournament with a clan mate.

GameReplays: How long have you guys been playing together?

Jim: I think with Gaybow I play more than a year and since he sucks so hard he hired me to teach him some things.

Rainbowsix007: How long i played with Jim I don't know exactly, but I think perhaps one year? Dunno...we have some great accounts high lvled and perhaps we will reveal sth soon?!? Jim knows what i mean^^ *grins*

GameReplays: How does it feel to be the most dominant 2v2 players?

Jim: Dominant players? Haha no, we just played very well in the last tourney, that's all.

GameReplays: I have played with both of you and I have noticed you are both very patient, is this a good aspect in being a great CoH player?

Jim: Well being patient is always good if you play for fun or serious, it just features a player and his points of view.

Rainbowsix007: Well, being patient is of course a good attitude. We could see it in the game vs ntd and Silence. Fighting until the end pays off

GameReplays: When did you first start playing CoH?

Jim: I first started playing CoH 3-4 years ago, some basic games with friends and after a year i started AT.

Rainbowsix007: The first time i played CoH was around the release, but I lost the fun after some games and then around a year later I started to play it again and it was more and more fun to do it. So since around 2007 (if it was released at 2006) I started playing CoH, although I started with basic games and I was a stat hunter. Playing AT was a bit later.

GameReplays: Do you play other games?

Rainbowsix007: I also play Battlefield 3 and FIFA series. I also like games like AoE, but I don't play it that often. And definitely the Rainbow Six Series! The third part (Raven Shield) was just awesome and I played it very very long. It's better than every shooter like CSS or STH, and soon there will be a new Rainbow Six, so I'm looking forward how it will be.

Jim: Oh yeah, I also carry Gaybow in Battlefield sometimes, he's much more unskilled there. Furthermore I play NBA2k, League of Legends, World of Tanks, used to play Call of Duty and Lineage with classmates. I hope to play Dota2 in the future, when I'm done with my exams.

GameReplays: Tell me about your tactics in the tourney.

Rainbowsix007: Well although Jim is the Strategy Specialist (Staff), all our tactics are invented by me. *smiles* As everybody could see, I carried him in all games whenever it was needed, so every second.

Jim: Don't listen to Gaybow, he didn't invent any tactic he is too brainless to invent any. We didn't follow any particular tactic in the whole tourney although we made one as double WM on rails called "Rainy Storm" (I found the name, rofl). I might post some replays about this strategy soon.

GameReplays: I watched the stream vs ntd and Silence and in the first game you were pushed way back, did you lose hope then?

Jim: Yes, game 1 vs Silence & ntd was great, they played very well and pushed us far behind. We didn't lose the hope though, with good teamwork and patience, we declared winners.

Rainbowsix007: I think the hardest game was vs ntd and Silence, also because I really thought that it seemed to be over. They pushed very nice and could cut off our fuel and especially with PE you need a lot of fuel. But me and Jim did well in our parts, he did the AT, I did the anti inf stuff being very aggressive with my ACs to push them back and finally roll over their bases.

GameReplays: How does it feel to win undefeated?

Jim: Indeed we finished the tourney with the title of ''undefeated'' I didn't think we could win the tourney without losing any games.

GameReplays: Were the finals hard? Jim you didn't pick a doc in most of your games, why?

Jim: Haha, I didn't pick a doctrine just for fun and because they are both my putains. The finals weren't that hard as I really expected. I'm not sure what to say, we outplayed them, they played bad, don't know to be honest.

Rainbowsix007: The feeling in the Finals were strange for me as it was very easy I think, especially the last game where Drink decided to be Mixed allies. I expected harder and longer games vs Drink.

GameReplays: Rainbow how does it feel to have your second championship, and Jim your first?

Jim: It's always nice to win a tournament, who doesn't want to? *smiles*

Rainbowsix007: But I'm glad to have won the Tourney, getting the money and for Jim getting CoH expert medal (I think).

GameReplays: You guys are truly a great team, do you have any shout outs and last words?

Jim: I believe the challenge games against Symbiosis & Lollypopso will give you a great show guys. Also a big thanks to all the referees, these guys really helped all the participants, and the organizers of one more awesome tourney of GameReplays. And of course the commentators of the the finals.

Rainbowsix007: I would like to have the missing teams back in the next tourney, like asII or Contador/Seb. I'm looking forward to the challenge by asIISymb and Lollypop. I hope, the games (BO5) will be awesome games and perhaps even worth shoutcasting it.
