The defending champions will meet their makers as they dive into the weekend for the LayeredX Championship. Without a doubt, this team has made their mark to be the number one team in North America. Although it may not show on paper, they have not given a reason to be anything but the best. They have also became the first team to go through the professional division with a undefeated record.

Hoping to continue their new trends, they will attempt for a second championship. After coming off a huge win at the WCG Qualifier over Check Six, recently to be flown to Orlando, this will make the trip that much greater. As the chemistry builds and agility grows, they will be hard to stop. They are known to working well under pressure and with the help of consistency, the team will bring all the cards to the table.

So far so good. You swept the regular season without a loss and now we have playoffs. Did you get more/less practice in for CEVO or were you more concentrated on he events at hand (ESWC, WCG)? Do you find yourself not finding many top tier teams to practice, except those already in the pro division?

Matt "PaTyoJoN" Iantosca: We really didn't get much practice for CEVO, we tried to scrim a few times before the matches to get warmed up but we were usually more focused preparing for ESWC. There are not many top teams to practice against, it's hard to find a good scrim when the top teams are the ones you don't want to play all the time because of the upcoming tournaments.

During the WCG Qualifier, you used Jimmy "foogs" Koller to subsitute for goodfornothing. Will you be taking your core five to Orlando? Any preperations you are making before the trip?

Yes, we will be taking our core five to Orlando, we will just be playing online as much as possible which usually depends on having someone to play against.

Coming off a win at the WCG Qualifier in Irvine, California, you should be feeling good going into the weekend. Are you, as well as the team, feeling optimistic of recapturing the title and named champions once again?

Yes, I definitely feel confident in our team, I believe if we play our game no one can beat us.

If we see Turmoil in the finals, who would you want to face the most and why?

I really don't care who we face in the finals, I feel confident we can beat anyone.
