Event: CPM TDM NC 09
Who are you? A small presentation of yourself please.Hi there! My name is Rafal, but im known as Raul in community. Im 23 years old and I play Quake sience I was 14. Quake 1 was my first multiplayer FPS game, then I switch to Quake 2, but It was pretty short period. I remember the day, when I found coincidentally q3mptest on some random CD, with was delivered with odd game magasine. It was really great, and I could never go back to previous Quake episodes. I played vQ3 to time, that first promode modification was released. It was 2000 or 2001 if I remember well. Sience this time I say definitely good bye to vanilla physic. Promode was really popular in Poland at those times. We had around 5-10 TDM servers, and every was full all time. So many teams played regular. Everyday PCWs. We loved most 1.11 version, but times was chaged and many ppl turned away from new version of promode. Now thinking abut community you have probably #cpmpickup on the mind. And its true. Only few ppl stay in community in compare with those years. In my private life I just finished Electronic and Telecomunication University and I'm interested in football.
What made you choose these players as your team?
It was really hard to pick my team. Especialy clan tdm community is dead. I put on some active players (I mean #cpmpickup active) and on solid oldshool nickname, like dzuki, pod1 and zoom for backup. I also took v3rb, he isn't well known to cpm community I think, because he is vQ3 player. But he got a lot of experience in TDM so he catch up everything pretty fast and become a solid member of my lineup. I organised few internal draft games for invited players. Best of these play in Team "A".
Star player of your team?
Everyone player in my line up is a big, or little bit smaller star. Everybody on CPM community known nicknames like dzuki, pod1 and zoom. Wap, pejn and bomba was played in cgx. Team with excellent TDM performance, and the most important they are still active. But if Im forced to choose one, I think this will be v3rb. His universal Quake
player. He got good performance and unbelievable skill and aim. He is also Team Poland vQ3 and Quake Live player.
Underdog of your team?
Nobody. Everybody is important for me on the same level.
Preparation before the tournament?
We played few internal games and few PCWs as well with teams like Poland "B", Bulgaria, Germany and Russia. And this is all I think. We are ready to kick-off.
Performance; what do you expect out of your team during this tournament?
I dont like to talking about expections. We try to do our best and of course we are well motivated to fight for the top places.
Who will be your hardest opponents?
We going to treat teams on the same level. Every game will be hard, this is Nations Cup.
Your top3 predictions?
No predictions. We will see all soon.
Thank you for your time, any last shoutouts?
Good luck to everyone. I hope this will be a manner cup, like previous
editions. See you on the arena.
