After the edge-of-your-seat tsg vs PLAYBOY match bot, I grabbed a quick interview with PB's leader, [PLAYBOY]-Sosinski. You can find all of the PLAYBOY members in #playboyclan on gamesnet. If you've never used IRC then follow my quick instructions:
Download mIRC, install it and start the bad boy up. Then type
[break="el interviewo"]SinaC: If you can state your name, age, and location for our non-Sosinski stalkers, that would be most delightful.
[PLAYBOY]-Sosinski: My name is Brad Sosinski, I'm 20, I live in Superior, Wisconsin and I'm not full Polish, only like 1/8th.
SinaC: How did you get into gaming, and more importantly comptetive CS
[PLAYBOY]-Sosinski: Well all the PB's used to LAN at a friends playing doom on SERIAL PORTS! Then we started playing duke3d, shadowwarrior etc. Finally we started playing regular half-life then one day our buddy showed us this mod called cs. So we tried it and formed PB about 2 months after that, right around beta 6/6.1 ish. We didn't really get competitive until beta 7ish. We started in OGL, been together since then.
SinaC: What's PLAYBOY's current roster right now?
[PLAYBOY]-Sosinski: Me, Toulee Vang (Stacy), Calvin Vang (Karen), Xai Vang (Jamie), and Sao Vang (Lisa). aka 4 brothers and the fat white kid.
SinaC: Are you guys the original members?
[PLAYBOY]-Sosinski: Well 4 of are, but we had a different 5th way back. He's big into daoc and EQ now.
SinaC: o god, he should burn then
[PLAYBOY]-Sosinski: rgr, i agree
[PLAYBOY]-Sosinski: So we got Xai Vang, their older brother, into CS and he was hooked.
SinaC: So what leagues do you guys compete in? Still in teh leet ogl?
[PLAYBOY]-Sosinski: Right now we're just in CAL-i, we dropped ogl after a TSG qualifier we played in and got 3rd. We got moved to cal-m, 2 seasons there, then this is our 3rd season cal-i. We couldn't compete in the ogl, they'd pwn us.
SinaC: You guys must scrim and practice alot, how often would you say?
[PLAYBOY]-Sosinski: Actually after CPL we didn't play for about 2 months, just starting up again for CAL. After 2 straight years of CS we needed a break and that was perfect chance to get one.
SinaC: You just faced TSG to open up this CAL season, and lost by just 1 round, the last one in fact. What happened?
[PLAYBOY]-Sosinski: Well I had 800 ping both halves so I was useless. I bought guns and threw lag nades. We just didn't play well enough to win.
[PLAYBOY]-Sosinski: :[
SinaC: So who are you facing next in CAL-I, and what are you doing to prepare for them? Maybe changing some strats up? Or is that a secret? :!
[PLAYBOY]-Sosinski: Well, we have a couple of newcomers coming up in utopian and legends, and then we play the old schoolers in DoP & rs, so a good mix.
[PLAYBOY]-Sosinski: We'll just scrim a bunch and talk about what happened/what went wrong vs tsg. But considering our pings we played well.
SinaC: Alright, I can't think of any other questions except: any shoutouts, thank yous or pimp-me-ups?
