NiaK: Indeed, we know each other well, having already worked together twice.I have had time to think long and hard lately and I can tell you that after having turned the problem in every possible way, at this time, the perfect team does not exist in France. By this, I mean that some key players have their  qualities but also their issues. When these are not delt appropriately, teams always end up breaking.

RpK: Regarding my choice I do not regret it at all, on the contrary I’m still motivated and everything that happens around the game makes me want to persevere. The return of Shox and SmithZz in the team is also a boost of motivation to go one step further.

About this comeback, you quickly take a good level back to be ouround your mate’s level. However, you’re not likely to be a tank anymore, you don’t carry your team anymore. Is it really over or you feel to be the tank again?

RpK: I would say it depends on the team where I am. With the former line-up it’s true that I found a decent level but it was not my full potential. With Shox and SmithZz, it will allow me to raise my level of play and to regain some team confidence and the memories of the old VeryGames line-up.

SmithZz and shox are here with you again, you literally experienced everything with them on CS:Source by doing the best things the scene have known, what can you say about their return with you?

RpK: I’m very excited to play again with them, we already proved that it could work, now it’s time to put everything in practice and move forward ;)

Hello Richard. Now that it’s over with EnVyUs, could you tell us how the transfer happened, from the moment you hear about it in Canada until you officialy joined Titan?

shox: From the moment the news came, in Canada, the bound between Kevin, Mani Cedric, Eddy and me was natural. We started to discuss there but we didn’t want to take any decision. So we all thought about it for 3 days and when we came back in France we met to figure things out. We are finally together for this new challenge!

shox: It was not a choice by default. During our three days of reflection I weighed all the opportunities. Going abroad would have been fun, but when you want to win the language barrier might be a problem. A team is and foremost a group of people that need to be linked and being held back by the language barrier prevents you to socialize.

shox: We are not here in order to play the clarinet, but I remain lucid, it will take us a lot of work. I would never be satisfied as long as we are not number 1. The path is long and difficult, but today we have a team that can find a real alchemy and there is nothing stronger on CSGO, the thing is to know how to take advantage of it and to find the energy and motivation to transcend.

Hello Eddy, now that you are done with EnVyUs, what momories will you keep from this adventure?

SmithZz: I will keep good memories and excellent relationships with kioshima, Happy, Moman, Marty and Mike. I had so many good times that I’m not able to record them all! I am proud of the results we achieved, even though we could have some regrets about the ending of the adventure.

How was the end of EnVyUs for you? It seemed pretty brutal from the outside, as the potential was here and you were competing in lots of tournaments. Do you confirm it was a hard time for you and shox? Were you expecting it?

SmithZz: I wasn’t really expecting it. After every tournament we were used to debrief everything, and within one year I wasn’t told much things. I have the feeling we broke this team without trying to fix its problems. It gives me a bitter taste. But I am used of this with Richard, and I am sure we will bounce back once again.

Once again, you come back in a team with Ex6TenZ and RpK, only Maniac is new. Are you happy about this change? What are your first impressions?

SmithZz: I’m happy to go back to playing with Cédric and Kévin. We will use our experience in LDLC and EnVyUs to achieve big things. Regarding Maniac, he now has the needed availability to show everyone that when he is fully invested, he can be a major element of our success. He has all my trust.

You will certainly be Titan’s main awper, which you never really was in CS:GO since the beginning of the game. We all know you were a main awper on Source: do you miss awping sometimes?

SmithZz: I have some difficulties with the AWP, but I plan on taking the advantage with the scout which is less expensive and allows me to shoot faster. I think I could surprise people with this.
