All Kind: Interviews with the Pros

[Mr.Latvian 3,597]

English community in the past had many good clans, now at the moment only few strong EN clans have stayed and made them better than before. AK have been fighting for a few years, had been re-opened after losing Star Series 1st season, but they have kept fighting and gathered new members and now they have showed to all communities that, EN can fight for Top places.

 

History:

 

All Kind in the past have been named Arab Knights and formerly called clan was those who played Star Series season 1. Also they were one of few clan who were famous at the time when played in Clan Tournament 8, back then when our community had league system.

 

Top places:

• All Kind are winners of Pro Series Season IV

• Have won many Weekend Cups(Weekly tournament that was played in StarLadder)

• Also won many Ranking Cups (Daily tournaments in StarLadder)

• Now they are Master of Swords tournament 2nd place winners and Silver,Gladiator paint owners.

 

Also now few of AK members have achieved and got Veteran paint:

Before I start interview with @xMoneyMaker I would like to give link to post, which was made by @F.I.N.I.S.H.E.R about this awesome personality with real life name David and to the @BestPrice congratulation post to the same person. 

Hello there! Lets start with knowing you more as a player. Many of players doesn't know when you started playing tanki, tell us about your first inspirations of the game back then and more about yourself.

 

Hello, I am the one and only @xMoneyMaker also known as Money. Was born in Germany and now living the in the UK. I started playing Tanki just a couple years ago, around the 2014 mark, the person who inspired me to play this game was my own little brother @iMoneyMaker.

 

Tell us about how you discovered eSport, about your old clans and how you got into All Kind.

 

Back in 2014, I met a person called finisher1121, who is known as @F.I.N.I.S.H.E.R now, he asked me to join a clan called "Rusty Skulls". The clan changed name to "Beg For Mercy" and leadership to @F.I.N.I.S.H.E.R . Back then I used to follow @F.I.N.I.S.H.E.R around with my m1 isida and m0 hornet, everywhere he went I was behind him, it felt like Fini was the Kangaroo mother and me the young one. He was my inspiration, my idol and my brother.

Couple months later, he asked me to buy Railgun M1 and Hornet M2. From then he taught me how to play XP, I picked up real quick and we opened a team in Star Ladder and participated in AM season and did not go quiet far.
Second AM series, I had Railgun and Hornet M3 and recruited a lot of people and made BFM stronger than before.  We made it quite far, we made it into the top 16 of AM. From there I joined a clan called Top Gun.  Where I improved my skills by a lot, they taught me how to play as a team, communication, tactic and much more. After couple months I was playing in Semi series with Top Gun and did not go far, and people left the clan.

This is when I opened a clan for Starladder to play Ranking Cups named GLADIATORs. We did well and we started training for the next season of Starladder. However, months of training, playing in high places of Ranking Cups all went to a waste, because SLTV had decided not give another contract to Tanki. From there many players from the clan left tanki, this is where I got more involved in the German community, from we merged the clan Gladiator and Hzd to make Royals. Which did not last long. 
 

Are you watching how other EN clans are doing? We have any potential clans who could do as good as AK after some time?

 

Yes, I am seeing clans such as Deadly Army and REGRETS have good standards and are both amazing clans. Both these clans are simply amazing, Deadly Army is such an old clan, who is getting better day by day. And REGRETS is an outstanding clan, great talent, great teamwork,  great skills.

 

You guys knew it won't be easy competing against the strongest clans of the game. How does that make you feel?

 

It made us train harder in order to compete with the bests of the bests we had to train harder. I am new to AK, we had to adapt to each other's playing style, which took quite a long time.

 

You guys have played EN and RU community tournaments, few even DE, which of all tournaments you liked the most, why?

 

The RU tournament called BLITZ. It was something different, it just had something new and was not the same as other tournaments.  Every weeks a new format, which was quite cool.

 

AK showed awesome performance in Blitz tournaments, which of course was reason why you got to Star League of MoS, but if you would need to compare MoS and Blitz which of them was easier, why?

 

MoS is much easier, because the majority of the clan plays XP and BP more than any other format. XP/BP you can play in RU all the time, other formats are hard to find in public battles.

Any more information that you would want to share with community?
I want to thank everyone, who helped me through my tanki career, who made me as player I am now and didn't let me stop at difficulties.

Hello there! Let's start with knowing you more as a player. Many of players doesn't know when you started playing tanki, tell us about your first inspirations of the game back then and more about yourself.

 

Hello I am @Lankbouv! I discovered Tanki in mid 2012 through my real life friends @hogree and @skitee and it was really just a fun place for me to enjoy myself.  The limit of my dreams at the time was to become a staff member a goal I later achieved.  As for myself in real life I'm 17 and studying to go to university with no clear idea what I want to be for the rest of my life so the coming years are sure to be full of hard work and decision making.

 

Tell us about how you discovered eSport, about your old clans and how you got into All Kind.

 

Through @hogree and @skitee I was accepted into the respected, yet not famous for its esports prowess, clan Ironclads.  I gained some experience into clan life there yet IC went inactive and I gained a thirst for eSports which happened to coincide with the introduction of Star ladder  to Tanki.  From then I made my own clan with @hogree and @GoldRock both of whom were and maybe still are my closest friends.  My clan Potential (PTL) never played a tournament, but we beat a couple of decent clans such as eGuards academy in training.  However due to some players leaving tanki and my personal ambition PTL never got the chance to prove itself as I enquired tentatively as to whether I could join AK.  Normally they would not accept inexperienced players like me but before season 2 they urgently needed players and so I was taken due to my potential which is a strange link to the clan I'd made myself.  From there I was in AK and I started my road to being who I am today.

 

Are you watching how other EN clans are doing? We have any potential clans who could do as good as AK after some time?

 

The only other clans who have attempted do well are DA and Regrets but neither have had a great deal of success yet I believe both have good players in.  If they recruit more players and get themselves DDoS protection they are certainly placed to do well in coming tournaments.  As a message to them I would remind them that experience is the key to winning and for each tournament they lose, they will be back much stronger next time.

 

AK won Pro Series season 4, after it Starladder got closed, did you feel any regret that you had to fight from AM till Pro Series final, just to win and then lose chance to play Star Series again?

 

Well here's when an interesting story beings because in season 2 when I joined AK lacked players and we played whole tournament with about 7 players just to stay in the tournament for next season when we would have new players.  Many returned and we brought in new players who were crucial to our success.  We didn't regret our effort as we had proved to the EN community that we were actually a really good clan and winning season 4 was a foundation for our MoS success.

 

AK now have new members and only few have stayed from old squad. We saw that old squad had awesome team work and it was reason why won Pro Series, but is it different to play with new members, did you have complications when gathered and started playing with new members?

 

I won't speak on reasons why people left, but the main driving force was the closure of SLTV and tanki contract leading to a lack of motivation. We reopened AK after a long break with some older players such as , Super.666 (), @erwinfighter and , and a few more and of course @PAKISTANII was our leader like always.  For me I was like a new player I had been too inexperienced and barely played in Pro series except for 2-3 games yet I stuck with AK and improved, and played every MoS game and most Blitz after developing into a defender.

 

You guys knew it won't be easy competing against the strongest clans of the game. How does that make you feel?

 

The fact that we got into the final and are now second best clan in whole of TO is testament to our improvement.  Beating Synergy has to be a highlight and shows our strength, and our loss to Arm Power shows we need to work on other maps apart from the several we are familiar with.

 

You guys have played EN and RU community tournaments, few even DE, which of all

tournaments you liked the most, why?

 

RU of course due to prizes and organisation yet we know there will be a Tournament in the EN community soon so we hope it can contest with the Russian tournaments.

 

AK showed awesome performance in Blitz tournaments, which of course was reason why you got to Star League of MoS, but if you would need to compare MoS and Blitz which of them was easier, why?

 

Blitz was harder in some ways due to it being comprised of many formats and maps which were unusual. MoS is familiar with XP/BP yet we must win every match and the prize pool makes the stakes far higher.

 

Are Russian moderators giving EN players the same attitude as they give to RU players? Tell your opinion about your problem on MoS where you had to replay the round against INV after quite unfair report.

 

I would refer you to my forum post.  Clearly there was an unnecessary replay but I don't wish to create more animosity over the issue.  However, the ruling went in our favour in the Synergy protest mainly due to undeniable evidence.

 

Any more information that you would want to share with community?

 

I just want to say thank you for the support.  Over the internet support remains as important as ever.  When we see your posts on the forum congratulating us it really spurs us on.
The fact that we are in the position of being the best clan in TO is down to support + our one hard work.  We need both.

[Mr.Latvian 3,597]

Hello there! Lets start with knowing you more as a player. Many of players doesn't know when you started playing tanki, tell us about your first inspirations of the game back then and more about yourself.

 

Hello! My real name is António Ferreira and I live in Portugal.  I'm known as @WiTh0uT.RuLeS in the game. I started playing tanki long time ago, I don't remember exactly which year it was, but it was around 2011/2012. I found TO in a advertising page while i was playing another game.

 

Tell us about how you discovered eSport, about your old clans and how you got into All Kind.

 

My first clan was Made In Portugal - MIP. All the players were from same country (Portugal), we were all good friends but after I played one last tournament with them, I decided I wanted something more challenging, and I sent a request to join TTB. Even without much experience in that time, I was accepted by @PAKISTANII, the leader of TTB, he threw me in eSports world giving me the opportunity of playing in his clan, where I improved a lot.  Months later TTB closed for other reasons, and I joined AK with him, and with one or two other players from TTB as well.

 

Are you watching how other EN clans are doing? We have any potential clans who could do as good as AK after some time?

 

We took time to make AK what it is today, tournament after tournament we had to improve a lot, I am sure that if some EN clan works as hard as we did, they can be a strong clan as well like AK.

 

AK won Pro Series season 4, after it Starladder got closed, did you feel any regret that you had to fight from AM till Pro Series final, just to win and then lose chance to play Star Series again?

 

Actually we won a qualification for ProSeries some seasons before, anyway we did an amazing job until winning ProSeries, and we were close to putting the name of AK in the StarSeries again, unfortunately after we won Pro Series Starladder got closed, we felt sad but anyway we kept the clan, and we kept working and training, waiting for the next tournaments.

 

AK now have new members and only few have stayed from old squad. We saw that old squad had awesome team work and it was reason why won Pro Series, but is it different to play with new members, did you have complications when gathered and started playing with new members?

 

On the contrary, after some training, we adapted to the new squad and the new players just made our squad stronger and gave us more options for the team.

 

You guys knew it won't be easy competing against the strongest clans of the game. How does that make you feel?

 

It makes the competition much better, and the tournament is much more interesting with many experienced players as we also had the opportunity of showing how good we were too, beating many good clans, and managing to attain good position.

 

You guys have played EN and RU community tournaments, few even DE, which of all tournaments you liked the most, why?

 

I prefer the RU community tournaments, because they are the community that does more tournaments, and there we can find the best clans of TO, making it competitive as I said before.

 

AK played showed awesome performance in Blitz tournaments, which of course was reason why you got to Star League of MoS, but if you would need to compare MoS and Blitz which of them was easier, why?

 

Blitz was much more easy because it was like a qualification for the MoS tournament, if we take a look at the prizes, we can see the difference between the 2 tournaments.  Basically MoS requires another type of level that clans need to have if they want to win it, or at least have a good position in it.

 

Are Russian moderators giving EN players the same attitude as they give to RU players? Tell your opinion about your problem on MoS where you had to replay the round against INV after quite unfair report.

 

I would not say they are against us, but sometimes they made some decisions that we just cannot understand. We had a good example of this kind of decision in the match against INV, where still today we cannot find a good argument that would made us repeat this round, fortunately we won the round in the replay again, showing our superiority to INV.

 

What are those things lacking in your team's strategy right now and how do you plan on changing that for the next tournament?

To be honest I think the team is ready in all sectors to keep having good results in the next tournaments.

 

Any more information that you would want to share with community?

I would like to honor my leader and close friend @PAKISTANII, we are playing together since a long time ago, since TTB, I am here today because of the opportunity he gave to me years ago and I think it's time to honor him for it.

Hello there! Lets start with knowing you more as a player. Many of players doesn't know when you started playing tanki, tell us about your first inspirations of the game back then and more about yourself.

 

I Am  @erwinfighter  and  have  been playing  tanki  for more  than  4/5 years  now.. a  friend  brought  me  to  this  game, now  some personal  information: my  name is: Erwin  de Korte, I  live  in the  Netherlands  and  i am  currently  16 years  old.

 

Tell us about how you discovered eSport, about your old clans and how you got into All Kind.

 

3.5 years ago  I  got  invited  by  dutch  clan. I  had  thunder  m3 and  mammoth  m2 at that  time, I  got better  garage  and  I joined  Dutch Warriors  and also  played  CSL2. After it I made  my own  clan  and  joined  many  other  clans  + playing  tournaments like: WQT , DREAM  TEAM, LUCKY 7 S1 and  S2, CC8  and  a  lot  of  solo tournaments. When  I joined  Top  gun  I played  Railgun/Hunter  in Pro Series season  3. After that I got tested by AK and joined AK to  play as smoky and managed to win also Pro Series.

 

Are you watching how other EN clans are doing? We have any potential clans who could do as good as AK after some time?

 

I am, as far as I have seen then Deadly Army has potential to become as good as leading clans of RU and EN.

 

AK won Pro Series season 4, after it Starladder got closed, did you feel any regret that you had to fight from AM till Pro Series final, just to win and then lose chance to play Star Series again?

 

Yes, I was the main smoky for AK in most of games, I had to play finals of Pro Series from toilet, because my parents didn't allow me to play, and after this kind of experience we got nothing… Well not nothing, but we had gladiator for some time and also now we will have Gladiator with Silver

 

You guys have played EN and RU community tournaments, few even DE, which of all tournaments you liked the most, why?

 

Pro  series  <3 Light  format was my favourite of all, because have been playing it for a long time.
