Interview with 3x Champion, Vandal

AP: "You hold the record for the most kills in a single game with 57, were a part of the Trauma Gaming dynasty that won three championships in a row from season three through season five, currently have the second most kills all time in CACL history, and you're currently leading a non-playoff team into the playoffs. Incredible. First off, what is your real name?"

Vandal: "Nolan Folk."

AP: "How did you come up with your gaming alias? Did you have other ones in the past?"

Vandal: "I did, but you know, it's really all about what makes you yourself. One unique thing about yourself and use your creativity to remember yourself by. Vandal resembles a fox: smart and strategic. I've had others, but not one that reminds me of myself."

AP: "Would you like to name some of those for us?"

Vandal: "There were some names like Premier and Absorb. Names like that."

AP: "How does it feel to be chasing your former teammates, Trauma Entity and Trauma LevELzZ on not only the all-time kill list, but in the race to four championships?"

Vandal: "Well, it's great to see younger guys be doing things like that. It would be an honor to meet them in the playoffs. Face the defending champions. The all-time kill list is something I'm looking forward to, but improving this team is even more of an incredible experience."

AP: "Who is/was your favorite teammate of all time?"

Vandal: "There's a lot up there, but there is one that surpasses that of anyone - Trauma Entity. I've known him for about seven years. We used to play all the time. We grew as teammates. He taught me and I taught him as we both learned the game. Great guy, great friend, great competitor."

AP: "At 19 years of age, some would you consider you a veteran of CoD. What tips do you have for younger players aspiring to begin and have success early in the competitive scene?"

Vandal: When you start, keep giving it 100 percent. It's about balancing your level of fun and love for the game. If you truly want it enough, you'll get it. Don't let any bad games let you down. That's how greatness is made.
