Samuli 'Acer | elfi' Sihvonen:

'I will aim for top 4. This will be hard, I will have very good opponents during this tournament. Even my group will be hard to overcome, there can always be someone who could surprise the rest of us. This is not a world cup for nothing, all of these guys here deserve to be here, because they are good.'

 

'I am very curious about the ESWC. The qualfier was much easier than I thought for me and now I am very happy to be a part of ESWC. I have a difficult group, but it's possible to reach the last 16. I have a lot of respect for my opponents. They played one year on PS3 and I mostly played on PC, but I had really good training results during the last weeks. That makes me optimistic. I hope to reach the top 8 but it is a long way. I wish all players from Team Acer good luck. Let's rock ESWC!'

'It will already be quite difficult to advance in my group. I have three very tough opponents today, one of them did not show up until now, but I am sure he will be here in time. That is why I do not have high expectations for this tournament. I just want to make it as far as I can.'

 

'I do not have any expectations concerning this tournament, to be honest. When I come to a tournament like this, I only hope to win the first match, I do not think about the other matches. Afterwards, we will see how far I will come in this tournament.'

 

 

'There are very tough opponents participating in this tournament, so every match will be hard to win. My personal aim is to reach top 4, everything else would be a beautiful addition.'
