Earlier today you guys saw the interview with W40kLife from Muk Eun Ji, and now here is part 2 of the Mercenaries Cup 4 Grand Finals interview with gappo3 from the Japanese team Green Leaves!

Why green leaves? By the way nice logo.

gappo3: Thanks. This logo was made by yoru. If you search ''happatai'', you can see greeen leaves

How long have you guys stayed a team?

gappo3: Green Leaves is 1 year old, but It has become 2 years since we first became acquainted.

How do we pronounce "gappo3"? Gaapo or gappoe?

gappo3: Gappo, gappothree ,gapposan etc... call me whichever you want

No matter the outcome of the grand finals, you guys are no longer placing third of Asiafortress' Merc Cup. How does that feel?

gappo3: Simply great. We hope to enjoy the final game.

Will you guys be participating in the next Asiafortress Cup together?

gappo3: I want to participate in the next cup, but I do not know what will happen.

How did you guys manage a comeback against the AllStars after losing three rounds in Ashville?

gappo3: I think we were completely cool with losing three rounds. We did not play much of Ashville, so we just analysed that map during the match.That way make a hit

How do you feel about facing Muk Eun Ji again?

gappo3: Muk Eun Ji is good team.That means skillfull and friendly. We call sub frequently from Muk Eun Ji, phex for example. I'd love to play with Muk Eun Ji again, hoping to enjoy myself.

Any shoutouts?

gappo3: gl hf

And that is it! Remember, stay tuned as we announce the match date and time (and cast!) for the grand finals for the annual Mercenaries Cup 4!

Interview has been edited for clarity.

With the Mercenaries Cup 4 Grand Finals approaching, we turn to interview the two teams that emerge victors in this long and grueling double elimination competition. In this first part, our resident Korean admin W40kLife has kindly agreed to partake in a little question and answer, answering the rumours floating around the TF2 chatosphere.

Why name a team after kimchi and a restaurant? Does one of your team members work there or have they visited?

Life: MUK EN JI is one of the kimchis we have in Korea. It doesn’t have any special meaning or something. While Creep was watching a documentary film about kimchi, he came up with the idea that it would be nice to make the team name with the name of our traditional food. For the second question, no one is working in a restaurant.

Is opd going to play in the grand finals?

Life: I guess he’s gonna play in the grand finals. He is the most essential part for the team and he knows it. You will see him in the grand finals.

Can you confirm the rumours of xeta using his side mouse keys to turn in game?

Life: That is true.

Do you guys have a main lineup of sorts?

Life=medic

opd=demo

phex, xeta=scout

creep bable toto=soldier

Do you feel confident about the grand finals against Green Leaves?

Life: Both we and Green leaves play LOL sometimes. I guess who’s gonna win depends on who's been playing LOL less. Personally we are gonna win.

What do you hope the prizes would be?

Life: Never thought of that. Gaming gears would be nice.

Will you guys join the next Asiafortress Cup together as a team, or will you guys go on to different teams?

Life: I hope so but some members will serve in the military soon, TOTO has to take SAT, and etc. I think for those reasons we can’t team up in the future.

Any shoutouts?

Cree “we will win Asianfortress Cup!”

xeta “you know what? I have a robot arm”

opd “there is no hope for us”

bebel “life’s penis is only 3cm”

phx “I have nothing to say”

forcedge “life is fucking ugly”

life “let’s hope that we can enjoy TF2 for a long time”

Stay tuned for part 2 with the Green Leaves!

Want to know how well you fare in the local competitive scene? Well here's your chance! With no bias, no personal grudges with equality to boot, I introduce you to the Asiafortress Skill Detector!

This mysterious wo/man is part of our community. Something like Gossip Girl, only that he/she works alone without his/her minions (or does he/she have them?), and he/she doesn't destroy lives with an e-blast.

One pre-requisite you must have though for your skill to be detected is that you actually have to play in our servers. Although he/she might be all-knowing, he/she isn't Robin Walker and cannot access the logs of the various other servers that you play on, and he/she rates solely on your competitive TF2 skills (metagame, DM etc) that is visible here in Asiafortress.

So what are you waiting for? I got rated, and although I don't necessarily main Soldier but I still think that the points presented were fair and just. Click through this sentence and request for a rating!
