Intro
What is your Gamertag?
Adz
What team are you representing?
Scotland
Short Bio
Tell us about yourself?
25 years old, from Edinburgh, Scotland. Competed in Halo off and on since 2009.
What made you want to start competing in Halo?
I caught wind of MLG as an impressionable 13 year old. I saw players like Walshy with a $1,000,000 contract and Tsquared appear on Dr. Pepper bottles and wanted to imitate that.
Nations Cup
How does it feel to be representing a nation in a Halo tournament?
It feels pretty alright - this is my second outing representing Scotland. I played in the coveted Scotland vs England showcase at Stoke LAN in 2011, so it’s nice to add to my cap tally almost 10 years on! 🤙🏻
Teams were announced on Twitter a week before the tournament. Do you feel your team has had adequate time to prepare?
Preparation has been of the minimal variety so far. Blite and Batchford are both local to the Tayside area, thus, I’m expecting the cohesion to be entirely organic. Practise is futile and unnecessary when you have two Dundonian’s on your team.
What is the biggest challenge you see ahead of you in this tournament?
Carrying Blite.
Who are you most excited to play against and why?
DMLG / Eastern Europe. Huge respect to any nation that has a tank driver on their team.
Who on your team is grabbing the Sniper? Rockets?
Not Blite lmao.
Who is your playmaker?
Batchford. The man is a slaying powerhouse from Dundee.
Final Slayer Game is tied 49-49, What is the play?
Probably Diminish running bottom mid on his own.
What would it mean to win the Nations Cup to you and your team?
To be honest, just qualifying for the group stages of an international competition for Scotland is huge and hasn’t happened since France 98.
