Vo0: "I believe I can beat any player" (141 comments)

Poland Carmac sits down with another fascinating individual, Netherlands Vo0, who also has comeback to play Quake Live in the Intel Extreme Masters. He came out of a tough group by taking maps from United States of America Chance and United States of America rapha to qualify for the American Championships in Edmonton, Canada this coming weekend.

In the interview Vo0 talks about being a Dutch in America and what he does there, but also about his chances to reach the top four and qualify for the Global Finals in Germany.
What advantages do you have over your opponents in Canada?
Being Dutch! I know I wouldn't like losing to someone not from my country if I were to play a national qualifier. :)

Honestly now, do you expect to qualify for the Intel Extreme Masters World Championship?
Yes that is my goal, and I expect to achieve it.

gellehsak: "DaHanG the American to beat" (162 comments)

The time of fascinating individuals has come back, as the Intel Extreme Masters site has got an interview with Canada Andrew "gellehsak" Ryder. The former PainKiller professional is one of the eight players qualified for the American Championship finals in Edmonton, Canada this coming weekend.

In the interview, gellehsak talks about his preparation for the event, where he has been and what he's done since 2005 and the PainKiller times, but most importantly, on why United States of America Tim "DaHanG" Fogarty will become the player to beat on his continent:
"I truly feel, putting aside any bias, that DaHanG will eventually be the player to beat on the continent. The way I see it is that it is inevitable for the game to retain maps like DM6 and DM13 forever, assuming id Software is in development or at least has plans for new maps.

DaHanG is the type of player that can adjust to a situation or scenario without breaking a sweat, whether it be a new map or a new gameplay change. He has probably the least QL duel experience as opposed to players like rapha, Cooller, Cypher, and other top players, yet is able to compete with them on their terms. I feel that his biggest downfall is just the vast experience that players have vs his inexperience on the older maps and unfortunately that trumps his ability to adapt to a situation quickly."
