<blockquote>Hello, i'm Pierre-Emeric "link1n" PORTIER, i'm 20 years old. I'm studying video-making in school, going to do the 2nd year which starts in september. About Quake3, i'm more a TDM & CTF player (playing with miel & neu at the moment), and i'm participating in ESWC finals in San Jose in a few days. Interesting fact may or may not be that i change my config almost every weeks, and i can't stick to one :P</blockquote><b>You've just got back from holiday...Where did you go? What did you do? And most importantly, did you pull? =)</b>
<blockquote>I just went to the South of France with my girlfriend, we went to St Tropez, Toulon, Cannes. One day we rent a boat and went to every islands closed to the port. Funny thing, we saw Nicolas Sarkozy having a meeting near a beach where there were a lot of police boats; you couldn't approach at all. Hopefully binoculars exist :P</blockquote><b>:) You've earned your spot through the French qualifiers, finishing 2nd behind strenx; how did you find the event and the competition?</b>
<blockquote>Well, about french qualifier, it went well except that some of us (including me) had to play on a mini-stage where there were some LCD monitors, which i'm totally not used to (it was my first time on it), but i played only one game so.. Besides that, games were on time, the event was cool, and still sexy to watch some others final games on stage. I appreciated a lot the wc3 final, between tod/wolf.</blockquote><b>You finish 3rd in your group at ESWC Masters above the likes of vo0 and k1llsen, what did you think of your performance and the event as a whole? </b>
<blockquote>Well, i'm disapointed about my performance, but i can't be that sad because i played extremely bad in my opinion. I think i had the aim to do much more, but unfortunately, my timing skill wasn't here, so i didn't have a lot of items during my game. I'm sad about k1llsen sensitivity problem because he could have reach the brackets.

About the event, it wasn't that great at the beginning with every matches. Admins weren't telling the same thing about the timing, which caused unity & i a default. This shit happens. Besides that, the event was very good, and some interesting shaft battle were present :P</blockquote><b>Default vs who?</b>
<blockquote>k1llsen for me, fooki for unity</blockquote><b>What made you decide not to go to GameGune?</b>
<blockquote>My job and my girlfriend. I had to work 2 months this summer, something in relation with my school. So the dates weren't that great for me, since my boss wanted me to do an extra so.. :P So bad i wasn't there, i wanted to visit Spain, i never went there :P</blockquote><b>Have you tried Quake Live yet? Thoughts on the game?</b>
<blockquote>Well, i played a few hours, but not on last update.. So i can't really say something interesting, but i'll try: i think they started it quite nicely; the game is being updated anytime they see something wrong, they're listening to the community and want to make a perfect game. So i think it will work. The few hours i tried it, it was nice, but i thought that LG was overpowered (hitting 45/50% quite easily) but i don't really know which fix</blockquote><b>Going into the ESWC Finals how are you going to prepare for it? </b>
<blockquote>Well i really don't know. There were some issues, i can't bootcamp with the one(s) i was supposed to, so i guess i'll play at the swede lan, the "internet" :P can't do much more.</blockquote><b>Where do you hope to finish?</b>
<blockquote>I don't hope anything actually (weird heh?) i just wanna play my game, but since i've read that they'll use some f***ing LCD 6 ms monitors, i'm not that motivated.. well i still am, but.. i'll try my best, and try to reach a better rank that i did at ESWC masters.</blockquote><b>Top 3 predictions?</b>
<blockquote>Cypher, jibo & av3k</blockquote><b>Is there anyone in particular you think could cause an upset?</b>
<blockquote>I don't really know about an upset, but i really want to see Cooller & k1llsen in shape for this tournament. That would be really amazing. (shape for k1llsen = sensitivity solved) :P</blockquote><b>Quick fire round:
Blondes or brunettes?</b>
<blockquote>Brunettes for girls, blondes for beers</blockquote><b>Boobs, bum or face?</b>
<blockquote>bum! joking, everything needed!</blockquote><b>Favourite Q3 map?</b>
<blockquote>ztn for duel / pro t7 for 2v2 / dm14 for 4v4 / ctf2 for ctf</blockquote><b>Quake 3 or Quake Live?</b>
<blockquote>q3 atm, but it will prolly change to QL soon</blockquote><b>Okay, good luck in the finals and thanks for the interview, any final shoutouts?</b>
<blockquote>Thanks for the itw, and i'd like to thank aswell my team <a href="http://www.millenium.org">www.millenium.org</a> which allows me to go to the US!</blockquote>
