Temperate have been a team that I have quietly been watching for a little while now. Dynamic play supported by the huge brain of Shoobie have landed this UK side as one of the top in the SCL asawell as the HLTV rankings (Ranked 7th in the UK and scrape into the top 250 overall). With the challenges of the SCL Masters division, I sat down with Expr4ind while he was playing at I68 to have a chat:

1. Being the king's of the UK within the SCL. Do you feel like you need to peform to represent the growing grassroots eSports scene?

Whether or not we consider ourselves the kings of the UK within SCL, we have to perform and not disappoint. Representing and showing others that the UK scene has potential and love for the game is just a side quest if you can call it that, haha.

2. Do you guys feel the need to invest in a graphics designer? Because while the MS paint graphics are wonderful. You have used the same image around 30 times…

Haha, this type of social media management has been kind of a "trademark" for our org, we just need more pictures!! 

3. Was there any discussion about improving the lineup with free agents within the UK such as the old Lucent lineup or even the chaos that has occurred within the UK T2 scene?

I don't like to answer these type of questions regarding roster changes and so on. I don't think it should be something to talk about openly. Whatever happens in the team, stays in the team.

Editors Note: This question was asked before the departure of ifan and Temperate have publicly been trialing a few different players to replace him in his role 

4. Who are you guys watching in the SCL? Who do you think is a team we should all be watching?

I think RunOrDie as the defending champions would be an interesting thing to watch, other than them boomshake surprised us!

5. After playing in a LAN environment, how big is the shift going back and forward between online and offline play?

The shift at least for me, is going to be massive in a positive aspect, I think many people saw how may complaints there were about this event (rightfully). Returning home will be bliss honestly! Regarding the team spirit lan/online, I feel like everyone is more comfortable online. We will do our best to feel at home even on LANS for the future, everything comes with experience!

Huge Thank-you to Expr4ind for sitting down for the chat, We wish temperate the best in the SCL and in the hunt to find more images for their public releases. You can catch their games in the Masters Division. GLHF
