Recently a lot of teams have disbanded, but finally a new team is ready is ready to join the competetive scene. The multi-gaming clan http://indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/uk.gif Unique-Esports just picked up a dota-squad. The team is led by former Ravens player http://indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/denmark.gif Andreas "Donald-Duck" Søgaard, who collected a bunch of danish players and one british player. Among the danish players we have http://indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/denmark.gif Thomas "StoDDereN" Gregersen, who used to play from http://indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/denmark.gif MeT before they became http://indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/denmark.gif Ravens, and we have http://indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/denmark.gif Jeppe "Valeur" Valeur and http://indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/denmark.gif Alexander "CalculuS" Rathcke, who recently left RapE.dota.
The team has much promise surrounding them and looks to grow and gel as a team to compete at the highest levels in DotA, unique and zowiegear will add the best support possible to the team for events and more to take the pressure off the team so they can focus on their game.

Interview with http://indogamers.us/ftpidgs2/rtt/flag2/denmark.gif Jeppe "Valeur" Valeur :
First can you give us a short describsion of the team? I mean who plays what and so on?
Well, we're still figuring out our roles in the team per-say, since we have a lot of different players with alot of different strengths. As for now Donald-Duck is taking on the roles of support mostly, a role which CalculuS, Durum and StoDDereN will be helping him with, while they play their own roles as gank heroes. Ich1go, our asian wonderkid from Brittain, will he carrying our team to win most of games.
Donald is the leader ingame, since he has most experience by far, and while some still doubt his skills - you certainly cannot doubt his aptitude and knowledge of the game, and with a more relaxed and friendly environment he'll get to unfold his true potential. He is also a really mannered and good captain, and as some of our players are quite new to playing on a high-level, we are all eager to learn and Donald is eager to teach from experience, and it's working out great so far.
As mentioned you are still a new team, but Donald claimed in his official statement that you soon will be among the very best. Isn't that a bit early to say?
Well, we are expecting to be among the very best AT SOME POINT. We're realistic, and we know that we still have a long way to go, but I'd definately say that the potential is there, and we just need practice, practice and practice, so we can bond together with a team and find out how to compliment each other in the best way. There are currently only a few un-beat-ables like Ks.Int, Ravens and EG, rest of the top teams, with full respect to all, are certainly inside our shooting range.
Already we have scrimmed with several 'top' teams and have come out victorious more than once! :)
But now Pick-League is just over and EMS just started without you. So in what tournaments do you expect to particitate within the nearest future?
As a matter of fact, it fits us nicely that we have some time to practice before we're thrown into the mix, but we will of course sign up for every tournament possible - perhaps the new pick-league, ESL and so on. As the dota-scene is right now, tournaments appear and disappear at various times, so it's impossible to tell at the moment. But we will be there!
What about LAN-events? Are you planning to participate in tournaments like Dreamhack and The-Experience?
The Experience in Roskilde is probably a bit too soon and costy, for the team and sponsors. We will however, as Unique Dota garners support get to some lans, so yeah, you might see us at dreamhack (where we'll own, because we have so much lan-experience from my appartment!)
Im sure a lot of people are looking forward to that, especially the owning part :). But for now thanks for the interview and good luck with the team. Any shoutouts?
Yeah, I'd like to make a shout-out to RapE-Dota which was the team that made me want to play competitively, and for all the great times we had. Also a shout-out to Jamboos mother, who is still the best piece of tail on the block - a shout-out to all the brasilians that hate on Donald: I'm right there hating with you! And of course a big shout-out to Unique-Esports and ZOWIEGEAR.
