adamb on facing his brother susp: "It matters so much for us both"

Metizport will face Wildcard in the opening round of the BLAST.tv Austin Major, featuring a twin brother showdown between Metizport's Adam "adamb" Ångström and Wildcard's Tim "susp" Ångström.

The brothers have traveled separate roads, with susp pursuing more international projects while adamb has prioritized playing with Swedish teams. But these two paths have led to this crossroads in Austin.

The full interview can be found below on YouTube, with key snippets underneath. All questions and answers below have been slightly edited for length and clarity.

Metizport hasn’t been in any LANs this year, so it’s quite odd to see the LAN debut occur at the Major. Has it been hard to prep with no recent LAN experience?

Not really. We do have some experienced guys on our team, like hampus, isak, and Plopski. It’s only me and L00m1 that are the rookies at our first Major. It feels really good to be here. I think we’ll all step up since it’s the Major.

Of course you’re here at the event on Metizport while your brother is competing on Wildcard, and you’ll be competing against each other tomorrow. How’s the family taking it?

Yeah all the family thinks it’s funny that we’re facing each other. They told me “we won’t be sad if you lose or you win, because at least someone will win.” So that’s nice.

How are you feeling about the match against your brother tomorrow?

I’m excited to play him, of course. I’ve been hanging with him a lot here in Austin. We don’t talk a lot about the game, as it’s been a bit hectic. It matters so much for us both, this game. We both want to win it so bad. And of course the game means more when it’s against your twin brother.

Metizport will face Wildcard tomorrow in round 1 of Stage 1 at 06:45PM.
