Well it is on everyone's mind about CLG's DQ from the MLG National Championship. I've read the apology post on CLG forums and have to say that is extremely unlucky circumstances (http://clgaming.net/board/board25-announcements/board26-community-news/4222-clg-apology-for-dq/) Though what I wanna know is, What is your thought on MLG now, do you feel you were cheated?

-I think MLG did the right thing. Any competent organization would have disqualified us having found out what we did. The only reason people can sympathize with us is because our fifth member fell asleep and we were unable to come up with one more person for the last round. The rules stated that there was no rescheduling, so we didn't press the issue even though the other group's match took forever. We wanted to be good sportsman, and as a result we ended up getting DQ'd.

Do you think CLG would have won Providence?
-I can't say for certain but I know that if we went to MLG Providence the competition there would have been a lot more intense.

What is CLG practicing for now as far as events or ladders?
-Currently practicing for IEM Kiev.

CLG offers LoL Lessons via there website, what can you offer to an interested customer?
-I'm not currently giving any more lessons but before I would usually give 1 on 1 solo laning lessons where I would solo against someone and teach them how to maximize laning efficiency.

Is the current CLG roster to stay the same for the 2012 season?
-I am not sure

Lastly on the topic of the team, Where do you see CLG in 2012, with the possible release of DOTA 2, will you all stay a league team?
-I have no idea as I don't run CLG

As far as your personal regime goes, there are many gamers striving to be on a top team and gain their 15 minutes of efame. What do you do to make yourself better?
-I keep playing the game and try to improve or at the very least maintain the same skill level.

How many hours a week would you say you put in?
-anywhere from 30-60 depending

Who is your favorite player to Duo Que with?
-bigfatmissy

What tips can you give other LoL players when they solo que up?
-If you actually care about getting better, you have to try your hardest to win every game and then assess why you lost the game afterwards. Stay objective or you will not improve as there is always something you could have done better if you lost a game.
