xtc.fnx interview (11 comments)
Posted by M4nimal @ 08:23 CDT, 13 August 2014 - iMsg
United Kingdom Zoot recently held casting try outs with quite a few would-be quake casters. South Africa fnx was one of the few candidates who made it through and is now part of the zLive team. We've thrown some questions together for Cris "fnx" Vlasiu to answer.

South Africa M4nimal: In becoming a commentator, was there anything you needed to do in order to have an edge in regards to match / player insights, or are you relying solely on your experience as a player?

South Africa fnx: In terms of prep work I do like to check out players profile on QL.com and QLRanks just to see what they have been up too recently, it allows me a little bit of insight into their form going into the game and it's nice to have stats handy during the stream.

Hope you enjoy the interview!

DGC - SA Quake Live Championships 2013 (69 comments)
Posted by M4nimal @ 06:16 CDT, 13 September 2013 - iMsg
Scheduled: 07:00 CDT, 4 October 2013 to 15:00 CDT, 4 October 2013
Schedule: Passed

The last time Quake Live featured at a major gaming event in South African was at rAge 2010, where international stars from MSI Fnatic, Sweden Sebastian Spart1e Siira and France Pierre-Emeric l1nkje Portier attended. The event ended on a high, with SA's #1 at the time, South Africa Stephen Ph4ntom Cloete played in an exhibition match against Spart1e, which ended in overtime with Spart1e winning 10 - 9.

Since then, its mostly been a barren desert. In 2012, the Xperts@Total.Chaos hosted an online 1v1 tournament along with two other tournaments that year. This led to Quake becoming a featured game for the Do Gaming League in 2013. After two seasons, we're finally seeing the top 8 from the Do Gaming League (DGL) face off against each other at this years final - the Do Gaming Championships!

SA PUBLIC TDM: xTc vs nDc (33 comments)
Posted by M4nimal @ 06:19 CDT, 16 May 2013 - iMsg
A great rivalry 10 years festering… An epic battle for honour and frags…Two of South Africa South Africa’s greatest and most respected Quakelive teams; the Anti-clan [nDc] and /xTc/, bringers of fear and madness, will take each other on in a true clash of the titans.


South Africa /xTc/ M4nimal, leader of Xperts@Total.Chaos: "Our motto is, LIVE UNTIL YOU DIE, which is exactly what you'll be doing"

South Africa [nDc] Disrupt0r, leader of No Damn Clan Quake division: “What will count tonight is not the size of [nDc] in the fight, it's the size of the fight in [nDc]”

Tonight at 9PM GMT +2, tune into twitch/ZA_Quakelive to watch as these leviathans engage in combat all the more terrifying for its cold and systematic slaughter. It’s time to settle a grudge recorded in the annals of Quake history. This isn't a clan match. This is war.

Playing against a heavy railer (43 comments)
Posted by M4nimal @ 09:49 CDT, 2 April 2013 - iMsg
Greetz! This stems from my previous post on how to improve 1v1 skill.. as an update to that, I was hovering around the 1300 ELO with no progress on improving, after much research and item timing practice and thanks to ESR readers :D I've recently defeated 1600 and 1700 ELO opponents! Yay for me..

I could be way off with this thinking, but I've noticed in many games, that the railgun is the major decider on the outcome of the game. By this I mean, if my opponent mostly uses rail and uses it well, there is no chance in hell I can beat him. If you're able to start a cycle of: opponent spawns-rail him-kill with another weapon, repeat - its so damn difficult for that opponent to get control back.

There are some players I cant beat at all on maps with a RG, but on lost world I own them..

So my question is from the point of view of the guy being railed at spawn and trying to find a way to get control back...

Whats best practice/strategy against a heavy railing opponent?

And soz if this has been answered many times over on ESR, google has not been very helpful on this topic

A clan mate of ours has been saying he's going to make a frag vid.. I guess the learning curve is quite steep as this has been in the works for a while. I give you /xTc/ goat_'s very first attempt at a frag movie - what do you think?

Improving 1v1 (91 comments)
Posted by M4nimal @ 06:39 CST, 14 January 2013 - iMsg
Greets from South Africa

I seriously need to improve my 1v1 game.. I watch loads of demos and try to practice a few games a day.. I am just not improving at all.

I really dont want to hear advice like "watch more demos" or "practice practice practice"!

I'm looking for some sort of proper guide, advanced tutorial video blog style guide on some advanced techniques on how to improve your 1v1 game.

Links would be appreciated!
