We had an interview with FUT Esports player Luke “Teabone” Crafer

You can read full interview below there:

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on guaranteeing to participate in PGC 2023 before PEC Fall.

​

1-) Did you expect that you would have such a “dominant performance” when joining FUT Esports (also as UGABUGA)? You have been able to maintain this consistent performance in every lobby in every tournament you have been in.

TeaBone: ***After all i’ve learnt in previous teams, I’ve built this team based off a core foundation where every player fits certain criteria in the team and has the same mentality. How people think outside the game, there view of the game was more important to me when picking players then mechanical skill. So i feel we built the team for success in this way and i would be upset if we had worst performance then we have been, Because i know we can still contend for them top spots.***

​

2-) The last world championship with HEROIC (PGC 2021) in which you competed had a dramatic ending. As a follower of yours, I can say that you have strengthened yourself, especially mentally, since that day. Following this tournament, you had 2 very successful Nations Cup’s, one of which ended with a championship, and now you are perhaps one of the best team in the EMEA region. What are your expectations as a team from PGC 2023? How far do you think this team can advance in the tournament?

TeaBone: ***I wouldn’t say we are the best team in EU, or contending for it just yet. That title still belongs to my friends at Twisted Minds. But who knows what will happen in the future matches/tournys. I personally with everything i’ve witnessed think we can do very very well at PGC. Our team should accel at LAN. But this will be our first as a team. Im expecting top 5 and will be unhappy if we don’t achieve this as we are more then capable.***

​

3-) What do you think about the maps added to the PUBG esports pool in recent years and the functions added to the maps (such as snowstorm)? Which of these changes would you keep and which would you change?

TeaBone: ***The new maps added Vikendi and Taego are okay and definelty playable. I do enjoy playing them. I would say that both require more work to make it more competitive, Vikendi needing more work then Taego. The sandstorms and snowstorms are not so enjoyable but i think we have 0 chance to get them removed maybe just reworked so its time to deal with it. Of course the sandstorm is better then the snowstorm by far. Limiting this to early game circles only and fixing the vision looking into them could balance it somewhat.***

​

4-) Finally, what would you like to say to your fans before the world championship?

TeaBone: **I would like to say to everyone one that supported me, or us over this last year/ years your support and cheering is invaluable to me. So many have doubted me as a player and us as a team at inception. But with your support we will prove them all wrong and bring FUT Esports to greatness in the PUBG realm.**
