Clan Interview: Basic
Clan History
When ijji Gunz came out in late 2006, the clan name was changed to Anathema temporarily (since Basic was supposed to be reserved). Basic has achieved many milestones during its tenure in Gunz, such as posting a #1 ranking, a 94% win percentage, and a legit 204 win streak during the peak of ijji gunz (without dodging, like some clans). Basic has only participated in one tournament so far, winning it while losing only a total of 13 rounds in the entire tournament. The clan is basically inactive, and its doubtful to make an active return.
Questions and Answers
Q1. Who were the members who participated in the tournament? Which four were in the final match?
A1. ncsu stylee, Twinkan, Omega, and Fujimi
Q2. Did you think you could win the tournament without a problem, or did you see numberous tough clans blocking the victory?
A3. We were happy to see there would be some decent competition, at least compared to the first tourny, but were still pretty certain we’d win (except Omega who thought we were going to lose every match), just not as easily as we did.
Q3. What was your favorite match of the tournament (doesn’t have to be the final one)?
A3. They were all relatively simple I guess, but the most satisfying was probably Back2Basics, just because of how much they’d run their mouths regardless of how mediocre they were/are; I think 11-1 sent the right message.
Q4. How important was teamwork to your victory? Vital, or did each members individual skill exceed the other teams teamwork?
A4. Very important. We only played 1 4v4 together before the tourny, but knew we’d be ok. We played all EU teams, and with 3 USA’s and 1 EU it could have been very tricky if we had played smart teams. Our plan to handle it worked out well though.
Q5. Are you looking forward to entering a future tournament?
A5. Doubtful, Twinkan is the only one I know of that plays on a semi-regular basis, and I can’t see myself having any time for that. I’m sure Omega will hop to whatever clan he thinks has the best chance to win the next tourny, and no idea what Fuji is doing.
Q6. If you could change one thing about the ijji clan tournaments, what would it be?
A6. Probably less maps and no prem meds. Town and Mansion are the gold standard in maps, and only 1 or 2 extra (Garden?/Castle?) should be used. Prem meds force people to play much more passive and rounds take way too long; IGunz clanwars were much more fun.
