[INTERVIEW] Paradox Gaming Disbands

On 26 November 2013, Paradox Gaming officially announces its release of the current roster from League of Legends competitive scene as the season for TLC 2013 comes to an end. As mention in previous posts, it is regrettable that another team has to leave the scene. We had the chance to get in contact with Paradox Gaming's Mid Laner Ozora Veki for an interview in regards to this matter and it is as below:-

Interview with PaX Ozora Veki (2013) 

I understand that you are considered a veteran in the scene who'd been in numerous teams before you set foot into Paradox Gaming, do you mind telling us of your journey throughout the competitive scene in MY League of Legends? 

It started from year 2012, while watching GPL and some foreign tournaments, I had the urge to become a Pro-Player myself. I started off with a team called Yamable and my first tournament was the King of the Hill (KOTH) Centre Region. The team itself has no power to compete at all and eventually I lost both qualifications. Although I failed the qualifications, some team that already took the slot invited me to their team (NYM.Orange Esports), and we took 4th place as a result. It all moved forward from there.

The teams that I had joined in the past includes

Season 2= Yamable , NYM.Orange Esports. 

Season 3= UoX.MY , Nothing to Lose, Paradox Gaming, Broski , PaX

I got to know that Paradox Gaming decided to call it ends and disbanded recently. Is it possible to share on what actually happened? 

There was a lot of commitment issues, some of the players want to focus on their life and etc.

What do you feel of the decision now that you've all actually came this far. 7 weeks playing together is indeed quite a long period of time. Do you have any regrets joining the team? 

I was excited when I first rejoin PaX. In the beginning, the team had tight training schedules to qualify into TLC. However, training is not as usual after that. The only thing I feel sad is that I cannot play in the TLC Playoffs coming this 21st - 22nd; which is one of the largest e-sport event in Malaysia.

Any ups and down that you can share that you have in the team? 

Winning strong team in scrims are definitely the ups 

Paradox Gaming had been doing quite well early in the TLC Season (Dropping games against only KTHXBAI and Kuala Lumpur Hunters. However, mid-season there's a drop in your games to other teams. Any possible reason of that happening? 

It's probably due to the lack of training after the Week 2. While the other teams started becoming stronger and stronger, we did not train as hard. In fact, after losing to KTHXBAI for the 2nd time (Week 6), we knew that we will not be able to get into the TLC Playoffs, thus we just played for fun after that match. 

Now that it have come into this stage, what are your future plans in the League of Legends scene? Are you going to continue being active in the Malaysian LoL Scene? 

I will continue playing and hopefully get into Kuala Lumpur Hunters one day. I have TeddyTibbers as my life guide.

Anything else you want to tell the readers or the supporters of Paradox Gaming before you take your leave? 

Sorry for not securing Top 2 =(
