Interview with Power Trip, Blizzcon Arena finalists

<Mindles> What are you and your teammates real names?

<sck> Sck:David, Noktyn:Joe, Vhell:Jared, Reznap:Chris, Kintt:Nathan, Ecilam:Greg, Nitrana:Mason

<Mindles> What is your group composition?

<sck> Our season 2 group composition will be: Priest, Paladin, Warrior, Mage, Shaman. Alternating a hunter in place of the shaman vs different groups

<Mindles> What composition do you have the most trouble with?

<sck> I guess if there was one type of group our team has the most "trouble" with.. it would be gib dot groups. We have a strong record vs them but due to the nature of those type of groups you're always vulnerable to extremely bad RNG

<Mindles> What is a "gib dot" group?

<sck> Groups like.. shadow priest, ua lock, ele shaman, fire mage, paladin; extremely high, burst spam damage.

<Mindles> Who is your strongest player? Weakest?

<sck> haha, i can't really say on the strongest/weakest player question.. no glaring choices

<Mindles> How long does a typical match last between two top 5 teams?

<sck> A typical match will last anywhere from 4 to 5 minutes on average

<Mindles> Who is notorious for dying first? Who's clutch?

<sck> Nitrana is notorious for dying first on his rogue because hey, he's a rogue (=

<Mindles> What was the single greatest moment for you? For your team?

<sck> For me personally it was definitely going into stage 2 qualifiers and doing just what we planned to do. (Even though alot of the competition had been destroyed by Blizzard) For the team i'd say it was probably going to regionals in San Diego with the HORRIBLE group composition we were forced to play and taking 3rd place, we were all really proud of ourselves.

<Mindles> Are you all local to each other?

<sck> Nope, we're all over the united states

<sck> Malice and nitrana live close to each other though, real life friends and whatnot

<Mindles> Did you guys have to pay for your own trip to qualifiers? Regionals?

<sck> Nope, Blizzard paid for it all

<Mindles> What's your number 1 tip for PvP teams who want to get better?

<sck> Practice as much as possible, not only as a team but as individuals.

<Mindles> Do you ever raid?

<sck> I don't raid, nor do I keep tabs on where the guild is at progression wise sorry :(

<Mindles> What gear did you start doing arena's with? <sck> Heroic badge reward items, crafted items, and a good amount of tier3 that I had not replaced yet

<Mindles> Do you guys work? Go to school?

<sck> a mix of both

<Mindles> Age range?

<sck> 20-23

<Mindles> Who's the oldest? Youngest?

<sck> Hmm.. either myself or vhell is the oldest (i'm 23) and I think Ecilam is the youngest at I think 20 but im not sure ;P

<Mindles> How many hours do you play as a team each day?

<sck> During the season anywhere from 3 to 5 hours id say. Off season maybe 1-2 hours a day.

<Mindles> Did your class composition start this way? Did it evolve based on strategy or friendship?

<sck> Composition started with a hunter and rogue alternating the 5th dps spot, and our group evolves strictly based off of strategy.

<Mindles> What about friendships? What happens if you have to cut someone not because of skill, but because their class just isn't working out?

<sck> We all play to be the best as a team, so making a roster adjustment is something we all will agree on and understand before we do it.

<Mindles> How many people is Blizzard paying for to come to Blizzcon?

<sck> Blizzard is paying for 5

<Mindles> You have 8 characters on your roster, how many actual players?

<sck> Seven

<Mindles> Who's going and who's staying home?

<sck> All 7 are going to Blizzcon. Blizzard is paying for the 5 "eligible" players from our roster which include myself, Noktyn, Ecilam, Reznap, and Nitrana. Kint and vhell will be there by other means.

<Mindles> Being the top team in your battlegroup, how many rollover points do you have currently? How many will you have at the end of the season?

<sck> We pull 1900-1950 points a week, we'll all easily go into season 2 with the cap of 5,000

<Mindles> Any parting comments?

<sck> Just like to thank our team for supporting us 100% thus far and we look forward to seeing all the teams in season two.

<Mindles> Is there a spot for me to sit on your team just to have the association?

<Mindles> Just kidding... is there? Please? PLEASE?

<sck> Unfortunately that won't be possible, the name you supplied us does not match your registration. :(

<Mindles> How many of you have girlfriends?

<sck> i have no idea how many of us have girlfriends, I personally don't. they cost too much

<Mindles> Damn straight.

<Mindles> I have one, she's expensive and I don't even spend money on her.

<Mindles> She spends my money on herself.

<sck> hahahaha

<sck> sounds about right

<Mindles> Oh! How many Asians on your team?

<sck> ZERO AZN!

<sck> we're all white!

<Mindles> wtf?
