Matt "PaTyoJoN" Iantosca


GotFrag spoke with Matt "PaTyoJoN" Iantosca after the match about the match and controversy.

Patyojon, talk to us about the match and your thoughts on this dispute in the 12th round of 2nd half.

We started off really strong and felt confident. The only rounds we really lost on t side were rounds that we easily should have won. Second half we had a good pistol then got eco'd and were in a bad money situation for the next couple rounds. The 12th round dispute was really stupid. Of course I wish his keyboard was not unplugged so it was played out how it should have, but when that happened I feel like it should have been counted as if his computer was shut off. He was even able to get a kill so I don't really agree with the ruling, but luckily we were able to pull through anyway.

Now you guys have to play SK next, how confident do you feel?

Last time we played SK we were a mess, kind of like our first match against fnatic today. I think we feel more confident now and definitely think its possible to take them down even though they have been playing very well lately.

Also I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself from your quote that you gave me when you made the move to Gravitas Gaming. It seems as though people misinterpreted it and called you arrogant. What did you mean?

It wasn't intended to be arrogant at all. We were unable to say some of the reasons we left the team which is probably why people thought i was being cocky. Our entire team made the decision to leave x3o and we all believe it was for the right reasons.

How is Gravitas Gaming treating you so far?

So far Gravitas has been great. We were able to travel to this event with only about 2-3 days notice, so we have nothing to complain about!

Any shoutouts you'd like to give?

I'd like to give a shout out to Gravitas Gaming, our wow team who are currently competing here and Corbin, Rich and Gareth. Also to our sponsors, Bet-most poker and steelseries.
