Jageksi – Dynasty
This time we have Jaakko ‘’Jageksi’’ Iivonen from Dynasty with us! Let’s see what he has in mind!
(((NOTE: Interview done before ECL!)))
Hey Jageksi nice to have you! How are you doing?
I’m doing fine thanks! I started at University of Tampere this year so I haven’t had much time to play, but I’m still very excited about the upcoming ECL!
Who wouldn't? Anyways tell us little bit about yourself and how did you end up playing NHL at the first place?
I’m 21 years old guy from Tampere, who is studying business in University. My NHL career started when I was a little baby and I played with my father (actually my dad played against AI, but I didn’t know that). I started to play more seriously maybe in 2009, when I played my first EASHL games and since then I just wanted to become a better player and learn more from the best players.
So what kind of team is Dynasty exactly? I assume it's pretty new, but what is the creational story behind it?
Yeah we started to play this year! The story behind the team is that we wanted to get a small group that is very motivated to improve our playing in every game. The second reason that made this team possible is that many Xbox players switched to PS4 this year. Now I have played with these guys about 3 months and I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every moment!
So have you know these guys before or were they just complete random to you?
I met Kellosuutari on my short visit at Xbox. Lukkolinho, jumalpeku, janbonator and gendlik I have met IRL. Snapu48 was a complete stranger to me, but when I heard he has played for Helsingin Tappara, I knew he was our "special one" for RD position. vSilenttio is one of the best defenders, but he is in the army now, so he hasn’t played much with us which is pity.
As we know, this is the first next-gen EASHL. How does it feel comparing to previous NHL's and how much adaption you had to make from the old-gen?
Well I had break from EASHL last year, but I could say that team playing is the number one thing this year, because you really need to cycle the puck really fast and there is not many opportunities for soloing this year. This has also affected my current playstyle since I have liked the puck in recent years 
So what kind of hockey does Dynasty play then?
Our key words are: discipline, compact defense and simple attacking. If you want more information you just need to play against us
Would you say that this is the best European wide EASHL tournament ever, since we are having all major Xbox and PS teams at the same tournament?
Absolutely! The tournament winners can really call themselves "The Champion"! I’m also excited to play against former Xbox teams like Northern Stars, Synergy Hockey and Sjukstugan!
Speaking of teams, which ones will be the top teams in this tournament in your opinion?
Well my prediction for TOP-3 would be Northern Stars, THE UNITED KNIGHTS and Carlsberg HC, but there are still numerous teams that might make a surprise!
Many captains I have interviewed told me that tournaments like this are the actual point to even buy NHL. How do you think?
They are wise captains These tournaments are pure diamond because every team plays seriously and you really need to work hard to earn points!
Are there any rivalry teams for you in this tournament?
Our club is so new that we don’t have any specific teams, but I’m personally waiting to play against Northern Stars, THE UNITED KNIGHTS and Carlsberg HC.
How do you see Dynasty succeeding in this tournament?
I think we have a chance to really succeed in this tournament, but we don’t have any named goal And I’m saying this because, I think you are able to play your best when you don’t have any extra pressure!
Can you name few players from EASHL scene who are truly superstars by pure talent? What kind of players they are and what would you like to learn from them?
There are many great players around, but I’ll mention few. Urlauber61 is pure magic and I’m very grateful that I have had a chance to play with this "genius". Hansulinho has the best hands and it’s a nightmare to defend against him. And now that I have played against the mighty Viktor (cHIIMERa), I could say that he is the calmest player I have ever seen!
How about your team, who would you name to be your teams MVP and why is that?
Hard question because I think we all have our own duties and I think everyone fulfill it perfectly. Lukkolinho is our gatekeeper and Snapu48 is our leader as a captain. I’m here to score goals, gendlik is our puck handling master. jumalpeku is the guy you just want to have in your own team. Kellosuutari and janbonator are our two-way players and they both are very talented. vSilenttio is in the army and he joins us in March 2016.
Well thank you for this interview! Would you like to say anything for the readers or anyone?
You are welcome, it has been pleasure to talk with you! I’ll send my greetings to NHLGamer staff which made this tournament possible! And for the other teams I’ll say that let’s thank these guys by having a great and fair tournament where everyone supports each other even when you lose an important match!
