As you all know last week we started the Ask Series aswell as interviews with famous Gather-Network profiles. Today we are going to show you one of the interviews and all the answers in this week Bodyboard interview.
Staff: Can you introduce yourself to the readers and why they might have heard of you? Bodyboard: Hi, my name is Paulo Figueiredo, mostly known as body or bodyboard. They might have heard of me because I'm always in the top10 ladder, almost every month and I was in a top2 portuguese team.
Staff: We just entered in 2010 , do you have any plans for it? Maybe keep on winning the Gather-Network Ladder? Bodyboard: No, I really don't have any plans about Counter-Strike or Gather-Network, I just want to find a job, it seems to be hard :(
Staff: Aside from playing Counter-Strike do you have any other hobbies?
Boydboard: Of course I do like bodyboarding, playing football, swimming, etc.
Staff: You have a pretty interesting nickname, could you share the story behind it? Bodyboard: Sure, I was 14 years old when my classmate called me to come to a LAN in my city, I saw him playing Counter-Strike and I really liked it, so the next day I played and I needed a new nick so i choosed bodyboard because in that time I was always bodyboarding... since then, i'm bodyboard :P
Staff: Do you pay any interest to the E-Sport scene(not just Counter-Strike) but maybe watching demos, reading coverages etc...? Bodyboard: Yep, I try to know everything about what is going around with the scene and about watching demos, sometimes i watch top players to learn something new like movements, positions, throwing nades, etc.
Staff: What are your thoughts about the new Gather-Network Project that was supposed to be released in 2009? Bodyboard: I have no idea, I just think that myst/kalhimeo should spend more time with Gather-Network or else give access to the guys who really have time to spend with Gather-Network.
Staff: What were your favourite matches that you played in? Bodyboard: Every single match on ESWC 2008 with RevolutionGames when we finished 2nd place. Recent match, I think it was BUSSIFUORI vs Millenium @ Gamegune 2009, it was my first game vs international team on LAN and it was 15-15.
Staff: Thank you for your time, any Shoutouts? Bodyboard: I wanna say to myst/kalhimeo, you guys should pay more attention into gather-network! Thanks for the interview ;)

Roskilde Ravens has been without a fifth player since the departure of Daniel "dalle" Kjersgaard. After Spirit of Amiga disbanded, Michael "Friis" Jørgensen was used by Roskilde Ravens as a stand-in, helping the team win against MYM in the relegation stage of the European Championship Finals.
After being third in the European Championship Finals, Jørgensen has signed his contract with the team. Nobody knows whether his performance at the European Championship Finals has something to do with his signing or not.
Jørgensen's statement on the MYM website:
"It feels great finally becoming a full member of the team. I cant wait to see what the future bring for us, now we are gonna focus on playing some more CS and gaining some more experience at big international events. Its a long way to the top and we have to fight really hard to stay where we are at now. We have to become more stable and routined and I am happy to do this together with Ravens."
Asked about this weekend's tournament, Friis stated that:
"My expectations are the same as for EM and every other event. We have to believe in ourselves and play with confidence. Its gonna really tough. Its hard to keep a spot at the top over time, but we are gonna do our best to stay there. We believed that we can beat all teams out there as long as we play our own game."
At the end of this short interview he wanted to make some special thanks to:
"The people behind Roskilde Ravens, our sponsors Dansk Metal and Steelseries who makes it possible for us to go to events. Also a big thanks to everyone out there supporting us *smiles*"
Current team of Roskilde Ravens:
Baljit "zE" Lal Danny "BERRY" Krüger Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer Christian "turkizh" Bindslev Michael "Friis" Jørgensen
The team will be playing at the Inferno Online League Finals next weekend in Stockholm, Sweden.
