Humba — Howdy guys. It’s Friday, my friends! My apologies about the previous interview which I actually didn’t post. But this episode of “Summer Interview Madness” will make you forget about that. We’re going to talk with  d2m, an awesome guy who has agreed to answer these questions. I made him cry about them, because they are full of gossip, heart-touching details and shocking revelations. It’s a little bit too long, be sure that you have time before you read it.

Why Russians suck at Worms Reloaded (maybe it’s true, I didn’t play it), why he left the ETF2L staff and how  ThePledge plays golf – you can read (and watch) it all after a little jump.

REMINDER: ATTENTION! That’s a long interview, grab your patience and check the time.

After hearing about a potential Vertex reform, I popped on irc to ask a few questions of the man with the plan, Dan “Anderson” who told me about his new lineup plans;

[00:07] nvc + r7an @ scout / myself + vali @ soldier / mar @ demoman / rafe @ medic
[00:07] if not rafe
[00:07] agron said he’d like to return

However, while he was just pulling my leg with that lineup, how much truth could there be behind it? Currently, nVc, Vali and Rafe are all teamless, while the others are sitting happily in the ever growing Red Eyed Jedis roster on ETF2L.

Anderson went on to say;

[00:09] vertex reform is on hold atm, Mar is away on holiday
[00:10] shifty left rush
[00:10] so reform COULD happen?
[00:10] but it wont be the same
[00:10] thats for sure!
[00:10] and it wont be under the vertex name
[00:10] vertex1 has had it’s day
[00:11] we’ll have to see though man
[00:11] fingers crossed
[00:11] Mar is up for it

And about Vali;

[00:19] he wants to play tf2
[00:19] just not demoman

Could we see a similar team to the one he joked about? Perhaps:

nVc
shifty
Vali
Anderson
Mar
Rafe

If not, why not? Make it happen lads!

Update: Stealthy got in touch to say this:

[23:40] <Stealthy^> might want to get it right tho :P
[23:40] <Stealthy^> topgears nothing to do with it started by me, and swarley isnt apart of it he was just filling in for one
[23:40] <Stealthy^> xman hasnt been involved
[23:42] <Stealthy^> GET UR GOSSIP RIGHT

In this blog’s very beginning, we brought to you some news on the possible formation of a new British team forming, lead by  TopGear. The founder of Wotr,  Xman was reported to have some involvement too (unconfirmed). 3 weeks have passed with seemingly no new movements. But, tonight, that trend has changed, with new players to the mix. They were spotted playing vs Broder earlier tonight, and tips from “fans” soared in. Fakenicks and fake accounts did little to help. Nice try boys. (For the record, most of the fakenickers have been verified by steamID.)

Tonight’s lineup:

• TopGear (medic/soldier) / (wotr/TCM)
• Swarley (medic/soldier) / (Vertex)
• Light (soldier) (wotr/TCM)
• Numlocked (demoman) (TCM/www)
• Stealthy (scout) (wotr/TCM)
• Predz (wotr, www)

22:22 – VanillaTF2: arent you joining idk?
22:22 – Predz: fuck knows
22:22 – Predz: no gossip yet plz
22:23 – VanillaTF2: why?
22:24 – Predz: cos we dunno whats happening yet

Sorry.

Numlocked was reported to be using a fake account, under the name “Maz” – Protip (if you’re trying to stay anonymous), don’t do taunts, talking, and stickytraps identifiable to only one person in Europe. We wish the team good luck, and are happy to see people forming new groups, instead of centralizing skills to 4 teams.
