INTERVIEW WITH |NSB| MUSTAFA FROM TEAM {TBG}:



Hi there MUSTAFA! Thanks for taking the time to sit down with us for an interview. For those out there who are unfamiliar with you can you please tell us a bit about yourself and how long you have been playing Altitude?

- Hey dudes! I am a 25 year old Czech dude who is studying Public Administration that likes to play games and become the best in them, including Altitude! If you know the game Conquiztador, I am the #1 ranked player in my country. I also enjoy playing chess. I started playing Altitude in late 2010/early 2011. I played a game similar to this known as Exteel, but it was shut down at the end of 2010, so I was looking for a new game to play. Luckily I found Altitude, and i already have over 1,4000 hours of playing time.

You are one of the few players in ladder that mains Dumb Bombs, and some would argue that you are currently the best Domber in the game. Would you agree with that statement, and do you feel Dumb Bombs are a competitively viable plane that should see more use from players?

- Yeah, when I started to play Altitude I only played in Ledow's Football Servers because I didn't like any other game modes or maps. It was there that I became fascinated with people playing Dumbers, since in a loose field without obstacles it was a very mighty weapon, so I forced myself to buy the game in order to unlock this plane type. I think I was one of the best players in Ledow's servers but when I came to ladder it was very hard for me in the beginning and my playing style wasn't working, probably due to playing maps with obstacles. I tried playing other planes and thought Loopy would be easy and not so bad, but I don't know how to play other planes and couldn't find success with it. I was using the Heavy Armor perk because many ladder players told me it was good, but it didn't fit my style. Eventually I returned to Domber with Repair Drone which I found great for killing and clearing away enemies. I accustomed my play-style to fit each map, and I started to improve (From a 300 rating to 1500+). I agree that I am the best Dumber, since I don't know any other ones I do think that more Dumbers will make the game more attractive for the viewers compared to seeing more Loopies, and I think Domber is a very good plane for ladder. Bombers that use Flak Cannon should use Dumb Bombs, I still don't know what Flak Cannon is good for. >:[

So far your team hasn't been off to a great start and has yet to win a game this Sky League. What are your expectations for {TBG} the rest of the season and how is the team handling this adversity?

- Well I have only played 1 training game with {TBG} (I wasn't rated as a starter for them yet), but I don't think we have any bad players. I think there might have been a bit of bad chemistry, and a few carry players missing which is why we lost, and also the clans we have faced have been high quality. I haven't played in any matches yet since I have had no time, but I hope i can play next time and help the team win. We are still taking this serious and i think the outlook for our team will have us sitting peacefully in the middle of the rankings by the end of the season.

You mentioned earlier how when you first started playing you only played in Ledow's. Not many people have made a successful transition from ball_football to ladder, but you are currently the highest rated {TBG} player (Ranked 68th in ladder at the time of this interview), and are continuing to improve as a player. What are the goals you hope to accomplish by the end of 2016 not only in Altitude, but in your personal life as well?

- I practically stopped playing in Ledow's Football Servers at this point. I only play there sometimes with friends, and most of my Altitude time is spent in ladder. Since it is mostly active at night for my time zone, I usually go to bed around 2-3 AM so I should sleep more haha! I am still trying to improve as a player because I am still not the #1 rated (My best so far is probably rank 50). So that is one of my main goals along with just playing good planeball which I feel i do most of the time already. By the end of 2016 I wish to be in the top 30 of ladder. In terms of my personal life I would like to finish school and reach the third academic title (I already have 2: Bachelor, and Certified Specialist). I would also hope to win a holiday chess tournament, be with a girl I like, and of course be happy!

Thank you very much for this interview MUSTAFA! Living in the Czech Republic you must be surrounded by some of the hottest women in the world on a daily basis. What do you typically look for in a girl? And to conclude this interview is there anything you would like to say to your fans in either English or Czech?

- I agree with the claim about Czech girls, also Slovakian girls are the same. However i very much like Asian girls, in particular South Korean, Japanese, or Vietnamese. I would like to settle down with a girl similar in looks to a Keira Knightley or Son Yeon Jae. The type of girls i like are ones with nice boobs that are smart and funny. I prefer ones with short hair, not long like a horses. I like tiny girls, not big creatures

To my fans i would like to say zdravim fanousky z celeho sveta, nekteri lidi neveri, ze jamajsky bob zvitezi, jsem jako onen bob a zvitezim!
