SK-Gaming interviews Spart1e (44 comments)

Posted by draven- @ 12:41 CST, 17 January 2011 - iMsg

Event: IEM5

Professional Gaming team SK-Gaming interviewed one of the most entertaining players outside Quake. fnatic's player

Sebastian "Spart1e" Siira. How will he do at Kiev? What are his toughs on his Group.

Little preview:

Would I be right in saying that it's been a while since I've seen a dominant Spart1e?
Yeah that is true. I didn't change much in my playingstyle, while everyone else changed a lot and got a lot better. I find it hard to learn new things and change what needs to be changed when I am always tired while practising. The times that I improve are when I can concentrate on Quake and only on Quake.

The interview can be found on sk-gaming.com.

ESFIWorld.com interviews fazz (20 comments)

Posted by mki @ 07:40 CST, 15 January 2011 - iMsg

Event: IEM5

In a continuation of their IEM V Quake Live European Finals interview series, ESFIWorld.com have sat down with

Pelle 'fazz' Soderman from Reason Gaming. Fazz talked about how he considers himself an e-sports nerd and how he thinks the third spot in his group is a wide open race.

fazz: "I think in my first game versus k1llsen, I played really well, except for my aim, which was horrible. I managed to only lose by 3 frags on both maps (or something like that), while just hitting 15% of my rail shots. After that, it kind of got under my skin and it was all downhill from there."
