Vo0 recently won Quake 3 CPM tournament at Dreamhack Summer and SK-Gaming made sure to get an interview with him. Talking about the future of Quake Live and Deathmatch in general as well as his current connection to Fnatic.

What is your relationship with Fnatic, do you even have one? You are signed on their site but you never play for them.

I played for Fnatic last year, in the United States and Spain, for ESWC grand finals and since then I haven't played any tournaments under their name and I am pretty sure, this tournament was all by myself. I paid of my own way and didn't get sponsored anything so right now I have no affiliation with Fnatic even though I like the clan, the organization as a whole cause I have so much history with them. But I just play for myself right now and I don't really consider myself a professional gamer anymore since 2005 where I had a awesome year with Fnatic and Painkiller but ever since then I haven't been really serious about gaming and everything.

Because I got destroyed game after game by people who had been playing online FPS for years. It simply was not fun. There was no way to tell the standard of your opponent until you joined the server and got lightning gunned into a corner and then mid-air railed by some Quakeworld veteran.
"I never joined a QL FFA server that made me come out licking my wounds."
