Hi Simon. Lets start by having you introduce yourself and team 4Not.

"Well, Hi. I am Simon Boudreault, the co-founder and owner of TEAM4NOT or 4Not (since it is the mainly used and adopted name for League of Legends). I am an avid gamer and lover of e-Sport. I've been playing competitive video games all my life and always loved the adrenaline rush it brought me. I was hooked the first time I played Counter-Strike and since then I started supporting and helping people in e-Sport the best way I could.



TEAM4NOT is a recent E-sport organization that was only created one and a half year ago. It was founded by now a good friend of mine called Kain Milakovic. I was at the time, already financially supporting some teams unofficially just for the fun of it. When he presented the project to me I couldn't resist and took the opportunity. I have since retaken full control of the organization and have been running it since then. We have had an array of great players join our team and we still can't believe how great all of them are."

Can you take us briefly through what happened to 4Not.Fire and 4Not.Ice?

"When the organization was still fairly new and starting to gain more popularity, we decided looking for a League of Legends team was our main objective. It is somewhat by chance that we found Miss Whiskers (our former manager). She was looking to get her team sponsored and financially supported by an organizaton. 4Not.Fire was the first team we picked up to be part of TEAM4NOT. Then came along another manager that decided to bring Ice into the organization. Everything was going the way it was supposed to be. We acquired some great players like Dan Dinh and we were obviously looking really good getting a second place in the Leaguecraft at the time. The bad part of the story is when the Ice manager decided to steal the winnings from all these events won by fire. To make a short story, Ice was removed from 4Not and the manager kicked out."

So who's on 4Not as of right now and how did you go about finding people?

"As of right now we have Parol as our Ad carry, PR0LLY as our Ap Mid, INoObish as our suport, Jdwu as our jungler and the toplane position is still under tryout.

We have hired a new manager called Kaniggit that has been doing an excellent job at finding the right members to reform our team."

What are your thoughts on the League of Legends tournament at MLG Dallas? Some people have been critical about an invite-based tournament format.

"That's a good one. I can't say I am against or for this tournament format. It is obviously going to be a great tournament with the really strong invited teams from Europe and Asia. I do believe that two spots or more should of been a qualifier to give some teams like Orbit, Ferus and even our team to participate and try to fight for a spot. At the same time I understand that Riot is paying for the whole tournament and they can pretty much invite the teams they want. I am unhappy with the fact i won't have my team with me at MLG Dallas but I can't do much about it. We have been having a lot of roster changes and tryouts recently. All I wish is for us to be invited to the next one!"

How strong do you think the new 4Not is in comparison to teams like Ferus, Orbit, and Pulse Esports?

"Once our top lane is finally chosen and we start having a constant roster, we will definitely be more than competitive versus those teams. We have been playing them in different tournaments recently and showed that we can have close games or even win in some occasions like the IEM invitational. We are definitely stronger than our old roster and it can only go uphill from here."

What are your goals for Season 3?

"I believe everyone's main goal is to actually be part of the top 8 in Season 3. I believe that through hard work we can be in the top 3. Participating to all the organized Riot tournaments and being able to have a solid team during season 3 is our main goal."

Awesome. Thanks for the interview Simon. Anything else you would like to say or any shout-outs?

"Thanks a lot for the interview and thanks for SK Gaming for this opportunity to talk about TEAM4NOT. Thanks to all the fans that supports us in all the competitions we participate and I wish our Starcraft 2 players good luck this week-end at MLG."

4Not's Team Manager Simon "SamBuca" Boudreault was kind enough to give us an interview before he left for MLG Dallas. Unfortunately the League of Legends team will not be playing at this event, but we have high hopes for their future.
