Luminosity Gaming were recently crowned winners at the CWL Anaheim tournament this past weekend, and during the event we got to talk quite a bit with the team, including Josiah 'Slacked' Berry, who told us how important fellow player Sam 'Octane' Larew was for them.

"He's very important for our team, he's kind of like the mould for our team," he explained. "When he's playing well, we're doing well, obviously. We're three fast players, me, Classic, and Saints. We're always pushing, playing really aggressive, and he's kind of the guy sitting in the back, mowing everyone down. So if we're playing aggressive, we're winning our fights, he's winning our fights behind us, we're going to be really hard to beat. I think what makes him so good is he's really learned when to be patient and when to play aggressive and that kind of separates him from being one of the better ARs in this game - he just really understands, like I said, when to push up with us and then when to sit back and play his kills, and I think that really helps us as a team."

We also got a chance to speak with Octane himself, who gave his own insight into his form, saying: "It's really just comfortability. I got the question a lot this weekend because I think I've been overperforming and it does come down to comfortability you know, relying on your teammates to do the things that you need them to do, to allow me to worry about my own gameplay, not necessarily theirs [...] I'm just playing well."

When we asked about the phrase 'overperforming' and whether this means he doesn't think he can keep it up, he said: "It was more of a turn of phrase. Yeah I've played, I think, basically the same way at Stage 1 playoffs. Right now I'm really happy with my personal play, my team's play, we're playing lights out so hopefully we can continue."

Did you expect Luminosity to take home the trophy at Anaheim?
