With Highlander Season 8 just around the corner, it’s time to take a look at how our Premiership Division teams are shaping up. What better way to begin than with Season 7 Champions European Tourettes Chessclub? Chessclub proved themselves as the best team in Europe with a victory over European PremTech in the Grand Final and they’re back once again to try to defend their title. Big hitters like UnitedKingdom BreakfasT_Jr and Sweden inso are returning to top the logs, but elsewhere in the lineup there have been whispers of change. We caught up with leader Denmark Scissors to find out what’s in store for Chessclub in Season 8.

How do you feel about your title-winning performance last season?
Denmark Scissors: It was a good season, we played consistently well and had a good time.

How is your roster for the season looking?
Denmark Scissors: Well, all our baltic players are gone. Which means Latvia uubers, Latvia atomic- and Lithuania Spreijer. We have found a new scout, moved Germany quintosh to solly and picked UnitedKingdom cherryrendezvous up on engie. We just need a demo and medic now.

Can we push you for the identity of your new Scout?
Denmark Scissors: We added him to the roster already. Norway Lazybear is back baby.

What are your thoughts on the Season 8 map pool? Are you sad to see koth_reservoir dropped?
Denmark Scissors: Not really, honestly Reservoir was a trash map, we just happened to be good at it. Personally, I am disappointed in the maplist, Gullywash is gone and Gravelpit is still here, so that sucks. Sunshine and Warmtic are both decent, so it’s not too bad, and people seem to be happy overall.

Which players do you think will be the most important for you this season?
Denmark Scissors: Hard to say, since we haven’t finished the roster yet. Since we need a demo and a medic, two of the most important classes, it will depend a lot on who they are going to be. But I still think UnitedKingdom BreakfasT_Jr will be our major ace compared to the other teams overall.

Finally, what are your aims for Season 8? Are you looking to retain your title?
Denmark Scissors: Of course. I am happy with the developments I am seeing, and I think that if we figure something out with our current trials, our roster will be even stronger than last season. So we are definitely aiming to win it all.

With Germany quintosh managing to get himself banned from ETF2L for the whole Season, it looks like a new Soldier is going to be top of the list for Chessclub. Away from the drama, it will be interesting to see if there’s any rust to be shaken off for Norway Lazybear after some time away from TF2. UnitedKingdom cherryrendezvous completes the flank overhaul having impressed last season with his performances for the sadly departed International Voodooh. If they can complete their combo in time, Chessclub look set to be a force to be reckoned with once again. The recent addition to the roster of Finland roban (formerly known as Yes) looks promising, with the Finnish medic looking to make the step up to Prem after an impressive Season 7 in Division 1. Meanwhile, 6v6 superstars Lithuania huhystah and Germany blub look set to take on sticky spamming duties.
