During the Black Ops era there was a number of French players that struck fear into the hearts of the opposition. One of those players was Jordy 'Karnage' Mercier of Mythix Gaming, one of the most accomplished European Call of Duty players in history. He's here with a team that features two players that have never been to LAN but it seems he's more confident than ever, we had a quick interview to see how the event was going; Decerto: How does it feel to be back at a Reflex event? I'm happy to be back to come back with a good team and I'm ready to win again. Last time I came here I only made top 12 so I want to get back to winning like the second and third time. Decerto: What makes your new team good? Team work and our gun skill is better. We have been practicing for a month none stop on Decerto and Gamebattles. We've also practised SND when we know other teams haven't so we have an advantage. Decerto: Who is the best team you have played so far? LowLandLions because they are the only team who got a map against us so far. They had really good team work and Knifer is awesome, a very good player. Decerto: Apart from Knifer, has anyone else impressed you at the event? We've not played apeX yet but Tommey and McGee from apeX have played really well so far. Decerto: How do you think you'd fare against apeX if you play them in the WB final? It will be a close match but I think we could definitely win if it came down to it. Decerto: You've got XTC up next. Confident or worried they will pull off an upset? We feel very confident that we will win but we don't underate them like the other teams have. Decerto: Score? 3-1 I think will be the score. Decerto: Are you attending any other events other than this one? We are coming to Battle of Amsterdam and all the other events as far as I know. Decerto: Not many people rated you before the event. Why do you think that was? Because they didn't know much about our new players and it's their first LAN so people have overlooked us. Decerto: Will you win the event? Of course, I don't see why not. We can beat all the teams that are here but it'll be close. Decerto: What will you spend the money on if you win? I think I'll probably save it rather than just spend it. Decerto: How are the other French teams at this event? Hmmmm yeah there is some good players but the teams themselves aren't too good because they don't have much team work. In time they will be good. Decerto: Okay thanks for taking the time out, would you like to give a shout out to anyone? Decerto France! Mythix and all our sponsors who helped us attend. Winamax, Bums, Game.Fr, EA Sports and FNAC. Also a shout out to my mum! As always, you can follow and all the teams competing at ReflexGT7 here on Decerto.

I'm actually putting my vote on MythiX to take this Reflex home to France. Like it when an "underdog" team wins. Even though I dunno why quite a few people thought MythiX wouldn't do well this event :/
Called it before the event that mythiX would definitely finish t3, I think they have a good chance of putting apex away and taking the event.
I think that mX always seem like they've got a good attitude towards things as much as anything. Willing to work for their wins.
