About this podcast:
The video features an in-depth interview with Hypno, a professional Unreal Tournament player from Portugal. The discussion covers his gaming journey from the early 2000s through multiple versions of Unreal Tournament and other competitive games. Hypno describes starting at age 12-13 in LAN cafes, progressing through local tournaments to international competitions. He shares insights about his competitive career highlights, including winning major tournaments like WCG and a $40,000 UT3 tournament in London. The conversation explores different game modes, map preferences, and the evolution of competitive gaming, with particular focus on the differences between European and American playing styles. Hypno also discusses the current state and potential future of arena FPS games, expressing both hope and skepticism about the genre's revival.

In the 500th episode of my "Reflections" series I interviewed Victor "Makaveli" Cuadra, elite dueler and Quake legend.

Makaveli was one of the pioneers of the professional Quake 2 duel scene in the late 90s, along with friends and rivals Thresh and immortal. Players like Fatal1ty and ZeRo4 have credited him with inspiring their approach to pro play. He became the "unofficial world champion" after beating Shub in an exhibition series after the Norwegian had won EDL.

Makaveli discussed his recent recontextualising of his playing career, the reasons he chose a life without esports and how archiving his past has changed his perspective.

I'm honored.
