coL's sunman discusses the team's recent results, his big name team-mates and his complicated path to success within Counter-Strike.
Looking back on the successes that coL lineup had how do you rank that team now that you've got hindsight to gain some perspective? Could it match up favourably against any of the legendary lineups CS has seen? Is it the best North American team in your mind?
Justin "sunman" Summy: I think CS is always evolving, I feel SK had a long run of being on top of the CS evolution food chain, so to speak. Then coL did as well. Is coL (tr1p, Storm, Warden, fRoD and myself) the best NA team of all time? Yes. Is it the best of all time in the world FOR its time? Maybe. But you have to be able to evolve with CS nowadays. If someone makes a crazy strat that nobody can stop, somebody will find some way to stop it. Yes that crazy strat will still work, but the ones that can stop it will win, and they will be the consistent teams you find on top always. Individual talent can only get you so far, open your minds, it's bigger than you may think :)
