I've just published an interview with Norway Ruben "DarK" Bielenberg, of Norway Memento Mori fame, but only the first seven questions are about Quake, since his progaming career was all CS from then onwards. As a result I figured it didn't warrant it's own news post here, but all the same someone might be interested in reading the QW/Q2/Q3 part of the interview.

MM were legendary as a Q2 TDM team for never losing an official match, while winning a number of LANs and online competitions. DarK talks about players like Norway Scion, Norway Shub and Sweden Blue. He also explains what he didn't like about Q3 and how he got into CS.

Your team-mate Shub is still remembered as one of the best Q2 players of all time and is still brought up in discussions over who the best Q2 duel player ever is. What were his strengths and how does he fit into that conversation for you?

Shub was just a raw talent and a complete player, I must say Scion and him are the biggest "raw" gaming talents I've ever seen. Shub had everything: insane aim, very calm and collected and just played a really smart game. He was also very unpredictable, so you never knew where you had him in a duel. Shub is to me the best Q2 duel player that ever touched a keyboard :) Unfortunately he didn't really play anymore when the bigger tournaments started popping up at the end of the Quake2 days.

The entire interview can be read at SK Gaming.
