[Inside Lounge] :thinking:

Heroes Lounge Season 3 is almost over. 

The last matches have to be played and some of the teams are already qualified for the Playoffs. The competition is stiff, especially in Division 1. The league format of Heroes Lounge gives a great possibility to see teams develop over the course of several weeks. 

After eight matches and the defeat of Heroes Lounge Season 2 winner FAT#5, one team is ahead of all the other teams. 

A team which has not been thinking for too long to find a team name. Arquine presents you the next InsideLounge.

Hello team :thinking:, thanks for taking time out for this interview. Would you like to introduce yourselves to our readers? 

Rozmex: Hello, my name is Dominik, 19 years old, from Czech republic. I started playing HOTS back in alpha, where i spent about three months maining tychus, but when closed beta begun i stopped and started playing back league of legends, in early 2k16 I tried HOTS again and in few months HOTS became my main game. I’m playing tank role in my team and do everything behind it shot calling, yelling targets, "flaming" my team. In season 2 I played for GGU for some time at role melee flex. 

Kenny: Hello, my name is Martin. I'm 20 years old. Playing hots since Alpha thanks to Warcraft , Starcraft and Diablo, because i grew up with these games. So moba with my favourite heroes was the clear choice. Currently I’m support for team thinking, because someone must save their asses. My favourite supports are Malfurion (bolt + Tranquillity + ice block best combo ever Kappa) and Rehgar screen below. 

Rozmex: Noo, why did you reveal our strats for playoffs? NotLikeThis 

Dragon: Hello everyone! My name is Michal, 23 years old. I am a melee/flex player for team :thinking:. I will give you a little insight of what motivates me to become a better player and gave me the reason to sign up. Every day I wake up and first thing in the morning I go to a certain website with talent builds for one of my favourite heroes in the game Arthas. I check his recommended talent for level 20 and I see the Boot in all of his builds. I get so pumped to show everyone that even some of the most famous HoTs figures are very wrong in the most basic aspects of the game. Good luck with the rest of your games and see you in the nexus! 

syDt: Hey, my name is Peter. I'm 19 years old. Playing hots for two years now thanks to Hearthstone card back promotion: D and thanks to Kael'thas being so fun and balanced back then (RIP Ignite). Currently I’m main Multiclass on all of my accounts but I play (ranged) flex for our team. I was also titled as The Pleb of the team by Nera when he was casting one of the games (thanks a lot…) 

Dethra: Hey guys! We banned it! (inside joke in our team after my first interview, where I responded we banned her in 3rd game on question if we expected Kerrigan in first game.), My name is Peter ,I’m 22 years old and I play Hots since closed beta. I prefer to play high mobile characters like GM, Valla tracer or Genji. I also have to babysit Kenny a lot, so he looks like he’s actually doing something. Also rzmx looks like Kripp and sydT is pleb of the team.

First of all, congratulations for defeating the immortal FAT#5! You’ve delivered their first loss since the conception of the FAT#5 back in season 2. How do you feel about that?

Rozmex: First of all thanks a lot. We feel pretty good and hyped for last rounds and playoffs. Personally i was shaking in endings of both games, not just because both were so close, but mostly because i never did shot calling like that, i screamed so much that i could hardy talk after the series. And no win in my gaming history felt that good. 

Despite being a new team, several members are old horses in Heroes Lounge. Tell us, how did you find yourselves and form a team? 

Rozmex: So, about year ago there was hots Czech/Slovak scene dying and i was playing in second best team, but i got invited to the best team where was Kenny and Dethra playing, we quickly became friends, but the team didn’t stay long and 2-3 months after team breakdown, I made another team czech/slovak team with Kenny, Oxeos, Nex and his old teammate from Trackmania dragoN, we made it into top 16 EU on qualifications to HGC, we breakdown after it and i tried out playing with GGU, but i left them few weeks before playoffs (really sorry) to make team with Kenny, Dethra, dragoN and syDt which we found by watching his heroes lounge games.

What’s the inspiration behind your name? 

Rozmex: So few weeks before season 3 start, my most used word was thinking. Even when we talk in Czech i was using English version thinking. I thought its cool name and very easy logo for our team. 

We’re into the last week of season 3 and competition has been heating up in the other divisions for a spot in the playoffs. How’re you finding the competition so far this season up in division 1? 

Rozmex: I think team TFT (which we face this week), FAT #5 are our biggest competitors, also GGU and Swissh Family are pretty strong . But also i think LMS Dionysus is the dark horses of playoffs if they can reach them. 

How do you fancy your chances of winning the playoffs? 

Rozmex: I think we can win playoffs by not dropping a series, because this week we finally started scrimming, due to IRL stuff we couldn’t before. But nothing is gonna be for free.

Pineapple pizza? 

Rozmex: I think i can say this for whole team..... Never. 

Any shoutouts?

Rozmex: Shoutout to my teammates following my every stupid call, and all the people that are behind heroes lounge, casters, admins, devs and Cosmic, also everyone watching heroes lounge games on twitch, keep watching its an amazing amateur league. Little bit of sell-out from me check out my stream. I stream in Czech but I will answer your questions in English.
