After the conclusion of GGL’s Soldier of Fortune Payback tournament, Ryan “Epic” Rondo of the championship team Six Feet Under sat down with GGL to discuss his intentions going into this tournament, his team’s practice habits, and more. 6FU’s team members won $500 each as well as trips to New York City to have the finals match aired on GameplayHD.

GGL: Tell us your experience in the tournament and how you feel about the entire competition.

Ryan “Epic” Rondo: I thought the overall competition was great! The whole experience of making a show out of the game is exciting. Rather than just having a quick 20 minute match and being done with it, it was fun to make a show about it.

GGL: Did you specifically pick up Soldier of Fortune Payback to play in GGL’s SOF Payback tourney?

Rondo: Yes, I did.

GGL:
How often did you practice for this tournament?

Rondo: I played for about 1 week prior to the online ladder, played that out till a week before it ended, then went onto the Frontlines ladder, then played the Monday before we left. Continued…
