How did it feel to win Champions League Season 5?

 

The feeling I have is gratitude.  I consider myself very lucky to have found the group of guys we have here at Genesis and I am thankful for such great chemistry.  We started from nothing not long before Season 5 began and have grown immensely together throughout the event.  I hoped we would do well but never expected to come out as the champions in our first season.  I can speak on behalf of everyone on the team when I say we really enjoyed sailing in Team League, and we'll definitely be back for Season 6.
 

What was your most memorable race in Season 5?

 

This one is easy;  it was race 2 against Bucanieri in the Round Robin stages.  Just under half way in to the race  a countdown from 5 started in the chat;  5 .. 4 .. 3 .. 2 .. 1 .. and BAM, 5 of the 6 Bucanieri on the water disconnected from the server simultaneously, leaving only their host!  It was so incredibly strange that we dedicated a chant "Bucaaa Bucaaa, NIERRIIII" in their honor.
 

It was your first participation in Team League, what you have to say about it?

 

We came a long way as a team in a relatively short period of time.  Assembling only weeks before the event started, we did all of our growing as each stage of the event progressed.  Genesis was a better team each week and the chemistry amongst the skippers here really heated up nicely.  This event encourages the ability to get together with friends on TS, meet new people, and work together as a team to accomplish goals; we loved it.
 

 

Genesis is an example that anyone can make a Team and join TL with sucess, do you agree?

 

I agree 100%.  I would recommend this event to anyone with Thursday evenings (CET) free.  Creating your own team involves getting into servers and asking around to see who is interested, taking contact information and following up with potential teammates.  Whether you want to create you own team like I did, or join a team looking for fresh meat is completely up to you, but I would definitely start planning an appearance in Season 6.  Also, for those of you who already sail in Team League, maybe you know people who would be interested in trying it out!
 

Say what you want and i didn’t ask....?

 

I would like to thank Pista's Grandma for all of her support - lol.  I would also like to mention a couple of key players:  Afonso, my right hand man in the early stages of the creation of Genesis.  Lumba (Dejan), our team tactician who has been a key part of our decision making on the water. Pistaxooo (Ignacio), and his ability to bring so much positivity and laughter to the TS channel.  Snipe Por (Antonio) while giving his spot in the later rounds of the event, showed up every week religiously in support of the team.  Thank you again to Carlos for the time you dedicate to this, and GW's to all.
