Posted by Thorin @ 17:08 CDT, 10 July 2011 - iMsg

Cyberfight's video interview with

Anton "Cooller" Singov regarding his move from mousesports to Moscow Five (see announcement) has been transcribed and translated to English, with help from

ToyTiger.

Cooller discusses the future of Quake, his plans for the M5 team, his TDM plans with

av3k, not wanting to play with

toxic,

fox or

Cypher,

Ultrafrag Xtreme.us's weaknesses,

strenx possibly quitting and the upcoming QuakeCon 2011 event.

The translated transcript can be read at SK Gaming.

thanks a lot for the translation!

I talked to Dreamhack directors, they aren’t going to cancel Quake, they’ll regularly have duel events and possibly TDM events.

:)

What do you think of the American team? [...] what was it that they lacked?

They lacked skill.

:) :)

Very, very good interview. I hope to see a lot from Cooller as he prepares for QuakeCon and trying to get his "managerial" position in M5.

How can he not want to play with tox and fox? I mean they already won QuakeCon and he doesn't want to be a part of a winning team? ;]

It's kinda taken from the context. I watched interview in russian, and it's not about cooller not wanting to play with them. He said that toxic will most likely to play with his teammates/friends and fox must be busy with his son and should not be that interested in playing TDM.

Nukm - Reply to #8

well

"I don’t think it’s possible, because toxic will most likely play with his friends from his Dreamhack team. And I don’t really want to play with toxic and fox on the team. Fox had a son recently, too, and it’s unlikely that he’ll be interested in visiting tournaments anymore."

that's also exactly what he said in the original version, dunno what storm is on about.

<< Comment #12 @ 19:13 CDT, 10 July 2011 >>

By

kK_Storm - Reply to #9

Well yeah, but I think the most emphasised part is that it's not possible to play with them for him, whether he really wants it or not. Right? Maybe I'm wrong, but I got that impression when watching the interview :)

<< Comment #14 @ 19:41 CDT, 10 July 2011 >>

By

Nukm - Reply to #12

"And I don’t really want to play with toxic and fox on the team"

seems to me that he says both, he probably will not be able to them and he does not want to anyway
but well in the end i would trust the impression you get from the russian video interview more than the translated text version

there is no reason tho for why he doesnt want it, could be as simple as communication that have to be in english then that he doesnt like to do.

<< Comment #16 @ 21:12 CDT, 10 July 2011 >>

ted - Reply to #5

The way I see it...he's already got a team so he won't say "i'd love to play with x and x" ...you just say "I have the players I want and we are confident etc". It would be kind of insulting to his present team.

When you're still competing you don't always let your opponents know how much you may admire or respect their skill.

U'd he hard pressed to dump a player like mikes or jibo for fox/tox.

Theres not much difference between those 4 when they really practice

He played q3 too, b100.Dracula and there was another guy called b100.hammer both of whom were really good just never top and regularly played in asus and other Russian LAN tournaments.

There's demos of both on cyberfight.

I spoke to one of the people who run the assembly events. he told me they are interested in quake. so maybe assembly winter quake in the future? there is one in the summer, but its on the same timeframe as quakecon, so thats probably why they didnt include ql.

Russia, what do you think about seizing QL and running its development from now on? It's not like id could sue the entire country of Russia. You have nukes, they don't. End of story.

I think it's about time Russia nationalized esports development.

organisational standpoint what you say is perfectly true, yet I was thinking about his comradeship towards his fellow pro gamer (see cooller`s endless waves of fanatic admirers, asskissers who does consider everything he is saying and doing, divine intervention)
