Counter-Strike: Interview with bds

By: Luis Mira - Published November 20, 2008 at 9:10 AM EST - Writer Archive
SK Gaming has conducted an interview with Managing Director Andreas "bds" Thorstensson.
Although Thorstensson is one of the two Managing Directors working for SK Gaming, he is still the face most of the community associates with the German-based organisation.

In this video interview, Thorstensson comments on his arrival at the organisation, the rise of World of Warcraft as an electronic sport and the differences between the 2003 Counter-Strike team and the current one, among other subjects.

An excerpt from the interview can be found below:

"One of the key mistakes we did was that we had, for a short period of time, GoodFella, vilden and Snajdan, three awesome players, but also three people calling strats.

"They did not want to listen to each other, everyone wanted to do his strats, then you had meetings where it was decided: for this tournament, Snajdan is going to make the calls.

"When he made the calls and it made us lose, the other strat callers were going to blame him."
