Clan Interview: Strike
Clan History
It all started from IGunZ. Me, Mc_Themax, and Horror aka Caprice were the first founders of Strike. I found Mc_themax in a town TDM. The name was familair to be because it’s a Korean singers name. I asked him “are you Korean?” and he said “yeah” and he was pretty decent in skill. So me, Max, and Horror (whom I had known for a long time) made the clan Strike. We started as a small clan, there were no tryouts or anything. Invite only. I started to invite people that I had known for a long time. After that we just grew and became the clan we’re known as today.
Questions and Answers
Q1. Who were the members who participated in the tournament? Which four were in the final match?
A1. The members were me (scream), rainl, horror and genre. We played the whole tournament with this lineup, no subs.
Q2. Did you think you could win the tournament without a problem, or did you see numberous tough clans blocking the victory?
A2. Honestly, I never thought we would win seeing as I han’t played gunz since we won the first tournament. So there was short amount of time that we had to practice and link our teamwork together.. a lot of the clans were rough and tough. Especially elemental with their best line up was just scary…
Q3. What was your favorite match of the tournament (doesn’t have to be the final one)?
A3. My favorite match of the tournament… I would have to say it was vs Ocean in the final. It was the most epic game I’ve ever played. When the score was 10-5 Ocean, match point, we almost gave up but we were patient. 10-6 10-7 10-8 10-9 , 10-10 draw. I dont know exactly how that happened, but a draw is a draw which led to the sudden death match. 1 win = win the tournament. Both Strike and Ocean were patient, pushing and pulling. For 6 straight rounds we kept drawing and the admin told us to play a new game in Factory. Who ever got 3 points first wins the tournament. we led to 2:0 .. we were so excited that we loosened up too much and they caught up to 2:2… last round.. and when horror died first, I almost felt that we would lose but dramatically, genre kills 2 of the ocean member amazingly.. I dont know how that happened but after that we killed everyone and after killing the last one we were all screaming and chanting over the vent LOLLL ! It was just so dramatic… I really respect ocean for not whining and crying during the tournament. I was impressed at ocean beating all those toughest clans. Respect.
Q4. How important was teamwork to your victory? Vital, or did each members individual skill exceed the other teams teamwork?
A4. I dont know how many times I’ve said this but teamwork is always over the individuality. We are not individualy as good as people from elemental. Their individual skills are just amazing, but thats not how we won the tournament. Teamwork is always the first thing to us and all the clans that won the gunz tournament have that same thing in common. They are bonded together as a team.
Q5. Are you looking forward to entering a future tournament?
A5. I am not going to participate in the next tournament, but I’m hoping that my other members from the tourney will. Next tourney im hoping to see other great players with different tactics rather than spamming rs with prem meds on.
Q6. How does it feel to not only be the first tournament winners, but also the current two-time reigning champions?
A6. I think we have done our best to reach it to the top. I really thank my members for supporting me throughout the 2 tournaments. Genre, rainl, dramatic and horror. We have been playing together since the beginning of ijji gunz in Genre. We believed in each other and thats what made us so good with teamwork and tactics. I feel accomplished and I’m glad that we won the tournament a second time. If you guys didnt know about this, rain has won the 3 tournaments in a row..from Strike, Sparta and then Strike again. He’s gotten unlimited Deties, Gun Knight and Battle Brood LOL. So yeah, respect to him.
Q7. If you could change one thing about the ijji clan tournaments, what would it be?
A7. It would be changing prem meds to normal meds. The very first tournament was really fun to play because we all had to use normal meds. People use different weapons like avenger that have good damage, but have low ammo. But using prem meds will get u back into a good shape, which gets frustrating. It’s more intense to see the games with the normal meds on than prem meds.
I apologize for getting this and the ones to follow out so late. As you can tell it is a couple months out of date. I was delayed, and then they were taken off my mind and I was only recently reminded.

Yes!
Let the whole world know about how much prem meds ruin everything.
An interview of Panties would be nice too.
