Interview with AK member Lankbouv

 

 

Interview with AK member Lankbouv. (07/02/15)

Athena: Hi lank!

 

Lankbouv:Hello there!

 

Athena: It's my pleasure to interview you! As one of the newest members of AK how do you find yourself fitting in with the older group of AK members?

 

Lankbouv: Well, as there are 2 or 3 of us who are new I don't feel alienated at all. I've struck up good friendships with some of the players such as PAKISTANII. Sometimes I think that the older members prefer to "ignore" you as such, until you prove yourself. I don't mean that in the way that I'm saying they're rude, but more that they want to see what I'm like.

 

Athena: Lank what differences do you see between your previous clan PTL and AK?

 

Lankbouv: Well, As you know, I was in IC for a long time, but that was not really a similar experience to PTL due to light format coming in at a later stage. However, PTL, as I was leader, was a new thing to me. I had followed starseries season 1 and 2 avidly and I was really interested to play in it. I already played a lot of XP so that helped me in terms of technical skills.In terms of the difference between PTL and AK, in PTL I was one of the better players, but when going to AK I had to prove myself again through several weeks of trials. As soon as I entered AK there was a noticeable difference. For starters, when organising a training we use the simple method of someone saying: training? then the first person says "1", and the second "2" if we get to "6" we have enough for a training and so we go. It was a lot more organised I can say that much.

 

Athena: Well I'm sure that being organized certainly had an effect on getting AK this far!, moving on, what kind of advices would you like to give to the younger generation of clans with regard to the way things are being done at AK?

 

Lankbouv: Think about your tactics before training. Never just go into a training and tell people randomly what to get. Have a good think first. Also, in terms of advice, the thing with younger clans is, that it is always possible to get to the very top in starladder. Any group of people can take their clan up the leagues, providing they have skill. it's not like in football, in real life, where you have to train for hours in terms of fitness. What I;m saying is, that without special treatment, you can rise to the top.

 

Athena: Thanks for your valuable advice Lank! Moving on, would you like to share any one of the most thrilling moments you've at PRO series being a AK member?

 

Lankbouv: Well, we haven't had any really close calls in the first 3 games. But once, we played a training against Arm Pride in red alert and won 3-0 which was a pretty special moment.

 

Athena: Wow! It's great to hear that AK did well against a star series clan! I think we are at the brink of getting a clan from the EN community to be selected to starladder. Moving on to my next question, now that AK has easily managed to surpass the group stages of pro series do you guys have any special plans/ strategies for the upcoming knockout stages of the tournament?

 

Lankbouv: Well, don't count your chickens before they hatch, Arm Pride are performing poorly at the moment, so it isn't that great. Well, we'll continue to train of course, which is one of the best ways to prepare really. I can't share our tactics, but as we get further on in the competition, we want to go out even less, so we might get nervous. Hence, the best preparation is to remind yourself of what you did in trainings and just play like any other training.

 

Athena: Thank you lank for spending your valuable time with me in this brief interview. Would you like to give one last price of advice for vast number of tankers out there who would like to begin their career at starladder?

 

Lankbouv: Find a clan quickly. The only way to join good clans, is to get experience. So the sooner you start the better.

 

Athena: Thanks yet again Lank. I wish you and your clan AK the very best of luck on the upcoming matches of starladder on behalf of the EN community.

 

Lankbouv: Thank you!

Only problem with that is that you added an exclamation mark to my "Thank you" to make me look like a generic russian >_>

this proves the fact that most clans in en community dont stand a chance agaisnt the russians.i wonder why.what makes them different to us..

[Athena369 265]

this proves the fact that most clans in en community dont stand a chance agaisnt the russians.i wonder why.what makes them different to us..

well there are many reasons for that to happen,

 

1) The Russian community is bigger than the whole EN community taken alone.

2) Russians don't get affected by time zones while EN community which is spread worldwide have to comply with it.

3) Russians don't have any language barriers and can freely communicate through skype or any desired medium while the EN community is the completely opposite.( I know more than enough players with great skills but whom are reduced to nothing with this language barrier.

4) This game was initially introduced to Russia, thus yet again proving the fact that they have more experienced players.

 

Maybe you would like to add some reasons to this list? :)

New interview added.

 

 

Interview with VEN member Law-Enforcer. (08/02/15)

 

Athena: Hi there law_enforcer.

 

LE: Hello Athena369.

 

Athena: It's my pleasure to be talking with you. Can you give me a brief description on how the starladder season 3 has been for VEN ?

 

LE: Same here! Of course, It was a bit hard we were in the hardest group in my opinion. I didn't know that we can do it! every member of our clan feelings with happiness

but the real problem was all about timing, we missed many players especially in the match against EE, we lost being unable to have enough players, and that was a bit annoying to be honest.

at least we got enough points which will let us go to the next stage.

 

Athena: I am sure that must have been really frustrating :( . But I am also sure the win against IBIZA yesterday must have boosted your Morales. Can you please relate to me how the things unfolded yesterday?

 

LE: I haven't been that person who was taking much care of winning, in fact they were so good.

but after we won against them I felt so good and felt like say " Nothing can stop me :D "

every member has improved their skills after trainings we had before we played against IBIZA. We were practising so hard and we are so glad that the time we spent on it was not wasted.

 

Athena: I'm glad to hear that indeed :). Having mostly members based from Mediterranean region how does your clan manage to take part in tournaments based on different time zones? Do you find it hard to comply with?

 

LE: Indeed, We lives in the same country but different cities. Which means same time zone.

but the problem is the time of prayers, having tournament time same with prayers time in our country certainly makes problems for us, we missed players some times because of the above reason. It is all about our religion Islam :).

 

Athena: Moving on, may I know why the battle with CENTURION which was to be help on 27th January still put on a hold?

 

LE: As Vio-vio said, Starladder site has some problems with score entries. We already put the scores so early but opposite team didn't and they were complaining us for nothing.

 

Athena: That is unfortunate :( . What was the result of that battle?

 

LE: Tie with score 2-2.

 

LE: I was influenced when I saw old members of TOP GUN left the clan, but still they are doing well!

especially AK seems to be easily winning against their enemies in the group they are in.

they are growing with their skills and I'm proud to see them improving!

GUN clan is a bit quiet at the moment but I'm pretty sure they are doing well :)

Same with D&K maybe because they joined PRO series a bit late and are still getting used it.

I hope to see more EN clans in the next season.

 

Athena: Moving on to our next question, Do you any advice to be given for the younger generation of tankers who joining starladder in the AM series?

 

LE: Keep practising, communicate between your members. Don't compare yourself with newbie clans. Keep you eyes on PRO clans and try to understand what they are doing (I.e strategies, tricks) and try to execute them.

and especially leaders have to make plans for his/her clan and don't forget trainings :)

Go forward and try! and never take back your steps :).

your skills is NOT the measurement for a win, teamwork is :).

 

Athena: And our final question of the day, Do you think that one of the EN clans will possibly make it into the star series this season?

 

LE: I do, AK is doing very well this season they really wanted to become a Star clan! and I hope all EN community supports our clans :)

I hope all EN clans does well in this season :).

 

Athena: That's our hope as well! Thank you for spending your valuable time in this short interview with me. I wish you and your clan all the very best to make it into starladder on behalf of the EN community :).

 

LE: You are welcome! anything for our community! :D

 

 

[angelokiller17645 23]

are you the guy who said bad things to QF the clan?

[Pi_Pikachu 34]

Athena :D thats awesome bro ... :D where do you communicate with these guys :D ... I too wanna wish them luck for their upcoming matches

[Truthteller 4,204]

I believe Russia has five or six different time zones. Although most live in the most westerly two.

Interview with member completely.noob

Athena:Hi there completely.noob!

 

CN:Hello.

 

Athena: It's my pleasure to be talking with you! Can you please introduce yourself to the readers of this interview?

 

CN: Yes, Hello everyone, My nickname is Completely.Noob

My last nickname was " Skill_To_Kill , Shut.Your.Mouth , ELIEZER10 , .

My past clans we'r :

EE , eGuards , AK TTB , DD , Angels , Black Sharks E_C Top Gun D&K .

 

Athena:I'm sure you have tons of experience being on so many great clans! Can you please share your opinion on how this season has been for the EN clans that are fighting at PRO series to get a place at starladder next season?

 

CN: Well, I will say that, Only 1 clan left in the whole pro series,

The reason, is that the EN clans think that the PRO series in just a joke, and "another tournament", Well then this is why they are out from the tournament, and I will add that they EN community don't have enough good players, as you can see the EN clans got crashed in the tournament because they aren't in the same level as Russian clans ,

The only clan that is still alive is is AK which is a great clan with a great leader.

 

Athena: That's some serious facts you got! Moving on how do you believe that the EN community can build up their skills to defeat the great RU clans?

 

CN: Well, First they need to take the best 24 players

after that, they can make 2 clans, and good tactics, because if all the 5 clans in the pro series

would become 2 clans, (with the best players from each clans, )

and only serious players, that know what they want, that know's how to play in hard battle,

Im sure they can get into star series, as they did before ( Noob Army + AK )

 

Athena: Well that certainly is a considerable option if we need to break into star series. Moving on to our next question, what advice do you have for the younger generation of clans who are taking part in am series representing the EN community?

 

CN: Sure, There are many streams from the "Star series"

who streamed by the TO commentators,

All they need to do is just watch how they play, team work, and skills!

You can find the link here! - https://www.youtube.com/user/tankistarladder

 

Athena: Thanks for providing us with a great link. I'm sure that will help. Anyway, not being part of a clan as of now, what are your future goals in tanki online?

 

CN:To be a Cybersport moderator, I want to be part of tanki after all .

 

Athena: Thank you for sharing your valued thoughts with me! I wish you the best of luck in order to make it into the cybersport moderator squad in the future!

 

CN:Thank you! and thanks for the interview
