[Inside Lounge] ZENON

Congratulations for winning the Mythic Championship. To get started if you could tell us a little about yourselves- who you are, your history with Heroes Lounge?

XraYY: I am XraYY and I have started Heroes Lounge 2015 with the team coordinated Vikings, was my first touch to the competitive scene and then I continued playing Heroes Lounge a lot of seasons mostly with teams with Chelvin. We had fun competing at the top and now we are 2 times back to back champions. Always fun to play in division 1.

Dynouh: The name is Denoy, also known as Dynouh, but I guess Denoy fits better. I have had my first Heroes Lounge experience last year. The first time I played there with Forty-Two Esports and in that season I also managed to win the Mythic Championship which felt pretty good and was a lot of fun, so I wanted to continue that by playing another Division 1 Season and will  probably do that as well over the next couple of seasons.

Chelvin: I am Chelvin I started HeroesLounge 2017 first team was Zenon eSports with the lads, Quopen, skynox, Montana and Nicorosu. I think I won my first one with SFD-Gaming and now back to back champions 1 3.

Ultralisk: I am Ultralisk. I started competing last year when I played the first Division S qualifier and by that time, I have only been in the top ladder for half a year, because I played mostly only quick match before. My first team was QM Genji. I signed up for HeroesLounge because it is always fun to play with friends and to gather some nice experience together.

Deathknight: I am Deathknight. I started playing Heroes Lounge in season 4, that is like 4 years ago. I like brawling.

This is your first season together as team. What brought you together?

Chelvin: Ultralisk.

Ulltralisk: Actually me. As I said it is always fun to play to play with friends especially when you are winning.

Chelvin: Yeah that is true.

XraYY: We know each other from different teams. Chelvin played with Ultralisk in Go Next. Ultralisk Dynouh and me are playing in Feel the Heat now. Also Chelvin played with me in a lot of different teams.

Will you join next season of Heroes Lounge with this team?

Ultralisk: We are already signed up.

The others: Really? Good job!

Will you play with the same roster?

Ultralisk: Without Cockroach and Wit is going to join us.

What is your favorite hero and why?

XraYY: Right now it is Ana. Most people know me for Malfurion and Deckard. They are fun to play and pretty strong. With Ana being changed from W to e build. W build meta was boring but now she is a lot of fun to play.

Dynouh: For the longest time it had been Tracer. Over to Junkrat. Over to Kel’thuzad. Over to Zeratul. Flashy Heroes, which are good at carrying the sandbags you get in solo queue. But as of now I think I’ve been most known as Zarya OTP, because XraYY forced me to.

XraYY: Wait, what?

Chelvin: Are you serious?

Dynouh: No, it’s Zeratul. He is the best hero. He does everything, AoE, Wave clear, 1v9s, he has blinks.

Chelvin: I used to be a Genji and Hanzo OTP, but as they are kind of unplayable right now I am really enjoying Greymane, but in the end I am probably the best Raynor in Europe, so I would say Raynor, but do not write down Raynor it is Greymane.

Ultralisk: Back in the days I was a Genji OTP in quick match. It swapped when Genji shifted out of the meta I mostly played Alarak. Since Alarak got nerfed my most favorite Hero is probably Medivh, because of the amount of playmaking potential is unlimited with this Hero. You have many ways of approaching a team fight.

Deathknight: My favorite Hero is Lili. No my Favorite is Garrosh. I mean nothing to add just Garrosh.

Chelvin: When I started playing competitive and was against Deathknight it was always ban Garrosh.

Your favorite game this season?

Ultralisk: The one with Abathur on BoE.

Deathknight: I played Gazlowe once was it that game?

XraYY: The one I have in mind was last season with DNAGalaxy and Drifer. At the end Chelvin just screamed GET ME OUT.

Ultralisk: Yeah I remember you picked Rancor on the core.

Chelvin: To end faster!

Deathknight: I remember the one where we picked bloodlust for the first time and I was Xul on Infernal Shrines.

Chelvin: I remember a good one.

Deathknight: Oh yeah we did not even use Medivac.

Chelvin: Normally you lose the early game and at level 10 you start backdooring, but we were winning so we just played the game then. We did backdoor in the end like 2 times.

Any thing you want to say to the readers of the blog post?

Chelvin: If you planned to compete in Division 1 do not plan to win it because we are going to compete until Heroes Lounge is dead.

Any Shoutouts?

XraYY: Shoutout to the opponents which challenge us in Division 1. Shoutout to all the Division 1 old legends.

Dynouh: Shoutouts to my team, it was fun playing with them and will be fun for the time to come. Shoutouts to the entire Heroes Lounge staff to make this possible. Shoutout to Samu the Interviewer who is going through a very long interview because we are pepegas, but we are trying to make it interesting. Just happy to be around.

Chelvin: Shoutout to every player who subbed for us this season.

Deathknight: Shoutout to the lads for carrying me. Shoutout to the fans in the twitch chat.
