"I think our preparations have been okay, all things considered, but I wouldn't say that we're 100% prepared and ready for this. However, we're going to Kiev anyway because we're thinking long-term and we think that we'll learn a lot and grow as a team because of it. Even though four of us have played together and won several tournaments before, this is kind of like going back to square one", Wecksell tells Fragbite.

Godsent has four players from the Fnatic squad that won two majors together.

"I wouldn't necessarily say that we have a lot to prove in Kiev, it's way too early for us to perform at our best. Like I said, we're thinking long-term with this lineup, and our big goal is the major in January, of course."

"Reaching the playoffs in a threshold everyone has, and always will have. Neither of us have that much experience from going out early in tournaments. We'll do our best to go far and hope to gain as much experience as possible at this tournament."

JW isn't going to Kiev in search for a golden hat.

"I think we can 'upset' them. We've done it before, and we can definitely do it again. Of course there's still a big rivalry between NiP and us, and there always will be. We are both aiming to become the best team in the world and, obviously, number one in Sweden."

"I would say that Na`Vi is the biggest threat, and they will be tough to beat this tournament (and all other tournaments). At the same time, that's the team we want to face the most, because everyone expects them to be 'invincible' and win this with their new lineup. We want to put a stop to that. :D"

Three weeks have passed since Godsent and Fnatic announced that they would be switching players, creating two teams with huge potential. Many thought Godsent got the better deal, but we're yet to see what they are capable of in an offline event. The questions will be somewhat answered this week, as Godsent will be playing their LAN debut at the SL i-League StarSeries Season 2 finals in Kiev, Ukraine.We caught Godsent's star sniper Jesper "JW" Wecksell to pick his brain about his new team's maiden voyage, and started off with the preparations — or possibly lack there of. Considering the fact that the current Godsent squad has had less than a month to prepare for Kiev, one wouldn't expect them to have the highest ambitions. Wecksell tells us that the team obviously are in it to win it, but most of all they're looking for experience together rather than the trophy.While this is a healthy mindset for a new team, some pressure must be on the team. After all, they did make huge news when the roster swap was made, and fans who followed the players Godsent must have some expectations. When asked about this, JW feels like it's too early to start putting pressure on themselves.So slow and steady wins the race, but then again we have this week's 300 000 dollar tournament coming up. Surely, the team must have some kind of expectations on themselves? Sure they have, but it's not really about reaching a certain stage of the competition, and neither is it to beat a certain team. The main goal for this week is, once again, experience.Going far means advancing from the group stage, and that means placing top two in a group with Team Dignitas, HellRaisers and their Swedish rivals in NiP Gaming. Although JW is comfortable with the group, and thinks they have a good shot against all of their opponents, he considers NiP as favorites of the four. That doesn't stop him from having confidence, though.While an all-Swedish battle would be sweet to win, Wecksell doesn't consider NiP Gaming being "the team to beat" at the SL i-League StarSeries finals. His eyes are on the home crowd favorites Natus Vincere, simply because people don't expect them to lose with their newly recruited AWPer.The SL i-League StarSeries Season 2 finals will kick off tomorrow, on Wednesday the 7th of September, and has 300 000 dollars in its prize pool. A total of 16 teams are on site to compete; twelve European, three Asian and one North American.
