WSVGis just about to start, and we will see ten of thegreatest teams in the world playing to win some of the great prizes this year. Ofthe ten teams, a stunning three are from Sweden. NiPand fnaticdid well at theSwedish Qualifier held at Dreamhack, and got their tickets to New Yorkthatway. SK had to go to United Kingdomtesting strength against teams like Pentagram,4Kingsand hoorai(now known as 69°N-28°E).

In London, SKfinished third, but due to hooraibeingdisqualified after winning the finals, SKgot a spot in the WSVG finals together with Pentagram.

Our great friends at NiceZhas made a bunch of pre-WSVGinterviews, friendly as they are, we're able to give you one of those interviews right here on HLTV.org - GoodFellahas some great answers ready,and it's well worth a read!

Hi! How are you recently? Introduce yourself to ourreaders those still don't know you!

GoodFella:Hi! My name is Jonas Virtanen, I currently live in Stockholm, Sweden.I play Counter-Strike under the nickname GoodFella and I play for SK.swe!

Obviously, 2006 is not a successful year for SK.swe, I mean, SK.swe neverencountered so many difficulties before. What’s wrong with you guys?

GoodFella:You are right, 2006 has not been a good year. When I joinedthe team this summer, the guys were already going through a lot of problems.There's been a lot of changes made and right now we know we have a good teamand we will prove it at WSVG / CPL Dallas. I think in the past we have madesome very poor performances but we have also been a bit unlucky with a fewresults.

At the beginning of 2006, SK.swe, the No.1 team in GotFrag's world ranking,was invited to attend WEG Masters, but SK.swe didn't succeed in passing thegroup stage. Did that indicate 2006 didn't belong to SK Gaming?

GoodFella:Definitely! At this moment I was playing for 4Kings and wewere going through some problems ourselves at that time. I think some of theplayers in SK.swe lost motivation and at WEG masters it was obvious they werenot the same players anymore.

This summer SK's trump card player SpawN left the team and joined the mainopponent NiP, and then SpawN helped NiP to get lots of great honors. How do youthink about that?

GoodFella:It was only natural I think. SpawN is a great player and agood person, I think he felt like there wasn’t motivation in the team from allplayers. I don’t blame him for leaving at all. I like the guys in NiP and lookforward to playing them again soon!

To prevent SK's downfall, allen was elevated and Snajdan got back to theteam, do you think this is a wise decision?

GoodFella:Yes. Allen and Snajdan are both amazing players and they canboth turn a game around on a good day.

In my memory, vilden has complained about wNv.gm twice in both WEG Mastersand KODE5 Finals, could you tell us the reasons?

GoodFella:I think the first time was at WEG masters. I was in thespectator crowd and I think there was some computer problems.. I don’t reallyremember what the argument was about but these things happen in gaming. Its notalways fair setups etc so people get angry when they feel like the other teamgets advantages. In that case I think both teams were a bit upset. The othertime was at Kode5 and it was about wNv talking after they were dead, somethingI didn’t see but Vilden said they were doing it and not getting warnings. Itreally didn’t matter much though if they did or didn’t. They beat us fair andsquare.

This year SK's road to victory was terminated by NiP in both ESWC and WCG SwedenQualifiers.when did you guys purpose to revenge on them?

GoodFella:We lost 2 very close games to NiP in both ESWC qualifiers andthen the WCG qualifier. Hopefully we get to take our revenge at the upcomingevents in the US.

After series of chaos, the powerhouse SK.swe came back into our sight. Areyou confident that you guys would achieve great success this year?

GoodFella:Yes, I am. We have the best organization in the world behindus and with the right preparation and motivation we will show the world how toplay CS!

WSVG Finals and CPL winter are coming, how do you prepare for both theevents? What’s your object?

GoodFella:We will be unhappy with anything but a top3 finish at bothevents. We had a short bootcamp last week and right now we are playing online alot! We fly out to New Yorkin 2 days.

DELL XPS M1710 Laptop will be used in WSVG Finals, and LCD monitor isbecoming a part of CPL's standard computer. Is this a tendency in your opinion?Have you adapt yourselves to these changes?

GoodFella:I think it’s a shame and an insult to all the players playingthis game. We practice hard and spend so much time preparing for these events.Everyone knows CRT monitors is the only way to play Counter-Strike. The factthat they get paid more money for using LCD monitors shows that they are onlygreedy. All the talk about making this a bigger sport is just plain BULL**. That’smy view on this. Much respect to the events that get it right and use CRTmonitors and normal PCs. Those are the events the players will remember.

Predict the top3 teams in WSVG Finals!

GoodFella:Hard question! My best guess will be SK.swe, NiP and wNv /Hacker gaming. Would be nice to see Swedenvs Chinaonce again ;)

Tell us your teammates' roles in the team!

GoodFella:

　　

Allen- Youngest player in our team and still new to the pro gaming scene.Very skilled player that can pull some amazing stunts in game. We are traininghim to become a casanova ;)

Snajdan- Snajdan is just... Snajdan. He is a very funny guy to watchboth in CS and outside. When he puts his mind to it he is one of the bestplayers out there. He is also the in-game leader on Dust2 !

Fisker- Very funny person to be around and is always keeping ussmiling while we play. Has the most accomplishments on the scene today I think!A lot of experience and a unique player to have in the team.

Vilden- Is the main awper in the team. Usually get into argumentswith me or Snajdan about tactics etc. This is the reason we split the in gamecalling for different maps, and Vilden is in game leader on Nuke & Train.

GoodFella- it's me, trying to keep everyone motivated and playing alot. Im the oldest and I do most of our camera-interviews since the others arekind of shy ;) I am also the in-game leader on de_inferno.

　　　　　　　　
At last, Any other words for our readers?

GoodFella:I want to thank those of the Chinese fans that still supportus. It means a lot to us and we will prove ourselves worthy this year! Thankyou.
