Here are a selection of short video interviews from some of this years Quake III ESWC participants. Featuring...
(fooKi, CZM, Av3k, Zero4, Jibo, vo0, Matrox, Chance, Rapha)
OMG carmac, your GF is so cute. !!! \o/ youuuhouuuuu yeeeepaaaaa !! :o) (EDIT : I changed a word, cause it seems that it said the opposite of what I tried to said. Merci Kraal :o)
That's a nice pic, the colors/lightening are really cool. Who took that?
I got home from Paris late last night (delayed flight) and I will start editing movies this week. I've got a lot of interviews and footage and I will let you know here on ESR when I have some videos up. :)
You know what... (hope I will correctly explain the story)
I didn't remember that you and fox are together (more than just friends I mean...). In fact I never read sweedish tabloids :)))
So when @ the ESWC I saw you looking Fox with love eyes and Fox looking you with love eyes too, I asked my friends : "are they together" ?
So my friends started to look at your direction, and at this moment you kissed Fox... and my friends to say : "Of course they are together !!! nooob !" haha :o)
how much sweedish tabloid can pay for a photo like that ???
I thought he was doing a good job but then every interview was kinda awkwardly just finished. You should have asked 5 quick fire questions for 60 second interviews.
I do appreciate it though, great to hear a few words from the pros. Thanks!
It was funny when he kept asking Vo0 about his earnings from CPL , "... so you have a lot of money right now ??!!" .. "Yes hahaa"
He's planning to rob you Vo0 :O
He basically said that he didn't expect to play so well at Masters and he thinks that his best form is yet to come - before GameGune. However he isn't really satisfied yet, as he still doesn't play his "A" game, but he feels his shape getting better and better.
About Z4 game: he expected to win hub and then the other map (meaning 2:0), but he played really shitty, didn't hit anything and didn't control the map at all. But that kind of matches happens when you're not in your best and stable form. However he didn't really get angry after that game, and he tried to play his game on the other maps and it worked out pretty well.
Rest is just talking about the moment when he really got noticed and stepped on another level of performing. And according to him that happened at QuakeCon (2006 I guess).
Oh, and he played Q4 mostly for money, he was really glad if there weren't any tourneys around and he didn't need to practice. The game style suited him more though as it was really fast. But overall he likes more Q3, he likes playing it, he can play it a lot more when practicing. Moreover, he says that in Q4 you could surprise your enemy on a few different ways, Q3 is already some sort of "burned-out" - everybody knows all maps from inside out, everybody knows how to position themselves, what to expect, how to play and it's atm basically aim-based. Who shoots better, who has better "routine" and mind-game, wins the game.
Yeah, he simply has to buy a 1k$ photoshop and artificially reproduce the part of the picture that is missing, instead of finding the original picture.
I must agree with some of you, the interviews was bad and short....he looks so stressed when he talks to them, like he wants to get the hell away from there as soon as possible, like :P
