Orlando Madden Challenge

Here's some interviews I had with players following the Orlando Madden Challenge this past weekend. There are three. Enjoy!

Prodigy (pictured, right) won the Orlando Madden Challenge, beating Evil Ken in the overtime finals. He struggled during the championship contest but came up with a huge interception in the overtime tiebreaker to win, 10-7 and yet another regional title. He returns to the Finals Tournament and will try to improve on his final four finish from last year. You can get a recap of the finals match from Orlando here. 

Evil Ken (pictured, left) finished second in Orlando and made a surprise run considering that he didn't earn rankings points in Dallas or Anaheim. After defeating a solid field of former regional and Finals champions, he suffocated Prodigy's offense in the championship match. But in the overtime tiebreaker, one mistake turned out to be the downfall. Here he talks about his runner-up finish and why he used the Saints.

Fool is one of the two Wild Card entrants in the Finals Tournament. Going into Orlando, he had to pull off a spectacular run, then hope that either Brusk or LilManz fell off early. Both leaders did fall off before Survivor Sunday, and Fool finished in the top four, which was good enough for the second entry.
