Counter-Strike: FIVE with Jimmy Lin of EG

By: Brian Johnson - Published December 16, 2005 at 2:53 PM EST - Writer Archive
Is the current version of EG capable of finishing top5 at this CPL? Will the substitution of Jimmy Lin for Shaguar make for a 1st place finish?


After a second place finish during CPL Summer, Team EG received a 4 seed for CPL Winter and will have to play nothing short of perfection to own up to their seed and a chance at finishing at or near the top.

Thanks for participating Jimmy; your five minutes begin now.


Give me 5 reasons why the current EG roster is better than the one that placed 2nd at the last CPL.

Well actually before Griff joined the team they didn’t have very much practice coming into the CPL. So like basically all their practice was at the BYOC. We’ve been playing with this roster for 3-4 months now, since I joined, so I guess we’re getting a lot more practice, and our teamwork will probably be a lot better than having somebody just come in.

List 5 teams you expect to beat this CPL.

We have to play e-Srael, so we expect to beat them. And then after that we play either u5 or GB so we expect to beat those guys too. After that we either play I’m guessing Rival or Begrip and we expect to beat them...just anyone we play we expect to beat.

Tell me 5 players you do not want to play with.

(Laughs)....(Thinks)...(Can’t come up with an answer so he looks around and names the first 5 people he sees) I don’t want to play with Frod, I don’t want to play with Torrez or Midway either, I don’t want to play with Torbull, I saw what happened yesterday, and I don’t want to play with Jesuit. (Note: Chibsquad suggested that Jimmy say Jesuit!)

Tell me the 5 players in attendance that have the best haircut.

To be honest when I look at somebody I don’t look at their hair.

What about the “Eurodo’s” like what Heaton has going on? I’m not much of a fan of it but he always has crazy hair.

Jonny Schawn has the white ‘fro going on. Matt Stevenson’s hair is always perfect, always. Tyndale.

Two More.

Ummm....these questions are hard.

No this is an easy one for fun.

Lilian and Potti’s got some good hair.

Give me 5 reasons why you like or dislike Cbble for 3rd round upper bracket play.

I like whatever the CPL was thinking is not...I don’t know what they were thinking, it was a bad choice. The map is so one sided -- CT sided -- so like it’s better not playing those maps (maps like cbble) against good teams. Even if you lose first half like 10-5 you still have a good chance of coming back on well balanced maps. If someone puts 10 on you on CT side of cbble you’re demoralized. You’re not going to come back. You can but the chances of it are slim.

Another reason is...(I suggest bombsite B only has two entrances)...is because....bombsite B has two entrances.

Thank you Jimmy, thats FIVE.
