VANiLLACORE: Hello. First of all, thanks for your time. Can you say a few words about yourself?

"I'm Melanie Aguiar, I'm 27 years old and i've been playing League of Legends since beta. I was part of various teams in the game. The one where I could express my skills most was team Pyrogen, i was being named their captain. I stayed there for 5 months and participated at 5 LANS. Now, I am the captain of Eclypsia's female team."

How long have you been playing League of Legends and have you ever been a professional player in any other game before?

"I have been playing the beta so i've been playing LoL a bit longer than two years now. But I was on a 8 months break once, to I made a break of 8 months for me to invest some more time into playing Call of Duty: Black Ops. I was a team captain and was ranked among the French top 5, but I never was a professional player."

Are you excited about joining the competetive scene and playing for Eclypsia?

"Of course. I am aware of the fact that we can't compete with the top male teams yet, but I really hope that the women's team will emerge. I want to show that it's possible to be a girl and have some skill."

Tell us a bit about your team, have you been knowing some of your team mates before becoming a team?

"I did not know the other girls before Eclypsia. One of Eclypsia's managers noticed me on competitive LAN, contacted me and offered me the possibility to mount a female team. I liked the challenge, so I looked for girls with a minimum of elo, so we can get to know each others playstyles on an early basis and evolve together. All of them had a good basic knowledge of this game already."

How much do you and your team practice?

"Every night between 21:00 and 23:30 in general, except on Friday nights and Saturday nights, which are reserved for partying :)"

What are your plans to get more known? Are you gonna attend the weekly LoL tournaments such as Go4LoL etc.?

"First, we have to practice a bit, to know how we react to each other while playing. After that, yeah, sure, Go4lol will be what we're going to begin with. Also, if the opportunity arises, we will participate in other online tournaments"

A lot of well coordinated and good teams can be found in the competitive LoL scene. Do you think that you and your team can compete with them?

"Well no, for now we do not have the ability to compete against those teams there, we got be realistic. But yes, maybe in the future, when we got used to each other and play well together, i really hope it will work. :)"

What are your goals, what do you wanna achieve this year?

"Well for now, we haven't really set a goal yet. Depending on the progress of our team, we will see what we can do and then come up with one later on."

Do you want to make a shout-out to anyone out there?

"Yes, I thank all those who support us and who will read this interview, my players for their investments and believes in this project. And I thank Eclypsia to trust us and that we've been welcomed into their structure. Also, thank you for being interested in us."

Thanks for the interview and all the best wishes to you and your team.
