1stPAD - Bravo Squad: The Secret of Success

admin: The first global tournament to have taken place on the EU-server within World of Tanks has come through the premier stage and the winners are getting prepared to the Grand Finals that will take place in Moscow in May. There our winners will face rivals from US and RU-servers. Who they are, how they have achieved their success and how they are preparing for the final stage of the tournament you can find out from the interview with the captains of the teams.
6/60 EU-server winners - 1stPAD - Bravo Squad
Captain: Argrin

-                     Argrin, first of all our congratulations on having won the “European” stage of the tournament and will you please share your expectations from the Grand Finals in Moscow with us? Do you think it will be easy or difficult to struggle with the Russian and American players?
-                     Firstly, it has to be fun for everyone. I personally expect a huge dose of adrenalin and emotions! As for the Grand Finals in Moscow, I am sure they will be the hardest challenge so far. What concerns our rivals, first of all we won't disregard competitors (I always repeat that before the battle), even the worst-organized team may win with a bit of luck. I think all the teams will display the same level of game play. I do not want to say which one is the best or worst yet
- Well, I won’t insist! I’d rather ask a few questions about the stage that has been gone through successfully. Were there any difficulties your teams were facing during the battles? Who were your most severe opponents?
- Yes, there were teams which we fought to the very end, of course they were 1SBP and the Pirates. The other teams which we didn't know anything about were also challenging us and caused a lot of trouble for us. I can't forget the 1/8 stage of the tournament, namely the battle with 1SBP… Our team member chose a wrong vehicle (SPG tier 6) just three seconds before battle starts, and Wiktor, the son of our teammate, told his father: "Dad, look he's got GW panther"... Our teammate’s quick reaction saved us from definite disqualification. Luckily we had a draw in that round, but Wiktor deserved a box of sweets!
- What about the most popular vehicles used by the team members?
- Well, I would like to avoid answering this question. Our competitors will read this for sure. All I can say is that we used vehicles of all nations offered:)
- Looking back to the beginning of the Championship, could you tell your readers why have you decided to participate in the tournament and how the team gathered?
- Our team is a part of official 1st Polish Armored Division clan, we can say that the team members are veterans in the world of WoT, some of them started playing WoT on RU-server when the game was in the Alpha test phase. As for our participation in the Ural Steel Championship I can say that our clan always organizes teams for any competition, like for instance the Battle league. The junior division is like a “steppingstone” from the usual play. We took our chances and decided for taking part in the tournament and… well, we did it!..
- Congrats once again! It is interesting though how you found the organization of the tournament. Where you happy with the requirements and regulations of the Championship? Would you like to have changed anything?
I think that this championship has been the best-organized so far, the system of battles was well-prepared, but there were some mishaps though, like the situation when scripts displaying the results of matches were deadlocked sometimes. Generally speaking, I don't have any major objections, but the time (it was 10 pm in Poland) was not the best time for us play J. No offence!
- And my last question to you is whether you would like to wish anything to your partners, your EU-server supporters or maybe even rivals-to-be?
- I wish all Polish teams to take the winning places in the finals. What I want to say to all our supporters is: "Please, wish us luck!" And finally my message to the rivals is: "GOOD LUCK, LET THE BEST WIN!"
-          Thanks a lot for your interview. We wish you good luck and we hope that you will show your courage, stamina and zeal in the Grand Finals!
We are going to continue publishing materials about the winning teams of the EU-server. Next week you will be able to express your opinion in the poll dedicated to 8/90 divisions and read the interview with Halfik, Pirates “Henry Morgan” captain.
