A video interview from ESWC 2008 with Germany Marcel "k1llsen" Paul after his victory over China Zhibo "RazerJ" Fan in the semifinals, leading to the grand final match against Belarus Alexey "Cypher" Yanushevsky. Paul talks about his mindset heading into the finals, his overall thoughts about this year's ESWC, and his plans to retire from gaming. Special guest appearance by Russia Anton "Cooller" Singov.



The interviews with Cypher and United States of America Shane "rapha" Hendrixson will take a bit longer due to the length of each.

SK Gaming has added its share of pre-ESWC hype with a 15-minute video interview with United States of America John "ZeRo4" Hill, one of the most accomplished players in the history of Quake 3.

The interview was conducted at the ESWC Masters of Paris, ZeRo4's first event after a four-year sabbatical from competitive gaming. During the conversation the SK player shares his views on the current state of Quake 3, how it changed and evolved and on how he finds himself in it.

The video with the most fascinating of individuals is definitely a must-see for every Quake fan. View it below:

Quake 3 Map Statistics: October 2008 (38 comments)
Posted by cYmoZz @ 13:24 CDT, 30 July 2008 - iMsg
I made a little statistic how well the top players did on the different maps. I considered every player who attended at least two of the big Q3 events in 2008: eswc ESWC Masters Paris, GameGune, eswc ESWC Finals or eswc ESWC Masters Athen.

Top 5 on each map (min. 4 games on the specific map):

"player name" "number of wins" / "number of matches"


ZTN is the only map which is not removed on a regular basis by all listed players.
Only a few players seem to feel comfortable on all maps.


There might be some errors, if you find one, please post it.
