Friendly League Interview: Denis Burke

Denis is at the same time one of the new guys and a established manager. He changed Conference after his fellows from Oscar decided to join Conference 4.
Denis is the manager of INTER STELLA D.C, a team that have great possibilities of reaching division 1 next season in Friendly League. Manofthebeer is the username and he will fight to win group D.

What servers have you played before you joined Smokey?
Oscar...My first love.
Smokey for a while now as well, thankfully before the server closures!

Have you played in any league like this in the past?
The Flame(Ice, Ash, Smoulders, Flame) series on Oscar.
And a few Smokey Friendly leagues
Which results did you get? 1st in Smokey Friendly League
Group 2 , I think? And 5th in SFL Prem Season59?
A few promotions on The Oscar versions. But I think I suffered relegation to Smoulders in our final attempt.

What are your expectations for this first season of the Friendly League and for the next few seasons coming?
I hope to qualify to play with the big boys and girls next season in the prem division.
I along with everone else will dream of winning this at some point in our SL career!

Do you think this could be the most competitive league ever?
Definately!!!! Now that the extended histories have been posted, the quality of the managers now on this one server is outstanding.
I think it will be very, very tough just to stay in an X-1-1 within a few seasons-never mind win it!
And the same will be true of this competition.

Who do you fear most in your group?
I dont fear anyone to be honest, it's not life or death lol.

Who are the favourites in your group?
Probably the managers who had a chance to establish a team on Smokey before the chaos struck the servers.
But this is only down to player stats at the moment, this will change over the course of this season of course.
But there are also some very experienced managers, with a hell of a lot of Major trophies between them immigrating from the other servers. who in all liklyhood, will outwit others with adv. tactics.

How many teams do you think will join in the future?
Hard to tell, hopefully another 2 or 3 divisions next season.

Anything else you want to say about this?
Just thanks very much to the organisers, this is going to be MASSIVE!

Good luck Denis, and thanks!
