The first semifinal at Global Challenge Dubai is coming up soon, we here bring you a small pre-match interview.
We caught up with Faruk "pita" Pita from MYM, to hear him about the performance of his team here in Dubai, the expectations of facing Vitriolic and more.
You have reached the final stages here in Dubai, it is the first international event for you and your team. Please put some words on your performance here in Dubai.
It has been excellent so far, we are very pleased with our results and we hope we can continue in the same way as we have done so far.
You are facing the Polish team Vitriolic in the semifinal, a team that during the last two days seemed to have stepped up their game, since they have been on a downhill ride for a long time. Please describe how you see the teams as being your opponent here in the semifinal.
Well, we have played them in practice games and we have been quite good, but before this tournament we felt like Vitriolic would be easier for us to play, but as we saw the games yesterday, we see they are on a good level right now and we think they are good, also better than my expectations.

Will your team be a better team today?
We will see.
Looking at how many Swedish teams made it to the semifinals, its three teams out of four, which is the first time ever. It makes it likely that we will have an all Swedish final here in Dubai. Should you win your semifinal, who would rather face, fnatic or SK?
SK of course, we have already beaten fnatic. It would be fun to play fnatic on other maps also, as GeT_RiGhT said yesterday, he would like to play us on other maps than dust2, so I would like to show them we can beat them on any map. About SK, it would be fun since its zet’s old team, its not like we have any revenge to claim, but it would be nice to shut them down as well.

Looking beyond Global Challenge Dubai, what else is coming up for MeetYourMakers?
As it is now, DreamHack Winter and maybe Arbalet Cup Europe and we are aiming to reach the European Championship finals in Extreme Masters next year at CeBIT. Also I want to put up a big thank to our sponsor Puma.
MYM will be facing Vitriolic in the first semifinal, set to start at 09:00CET. Stay tuned for more from Global Challenge Dubai.
