Event: CPM TDM NC 09
Who are you? A small presentation of yourself please.I am Daniel 'voodoochopstiks' Platt, a mediocre quaker, one of those players who lack the skill to be in the spotlight through simply playing well, but must resort to other means to gain their fame. For me it was making levels on the side, being internet buddies with 8bitlobster and being coach for probably the best tdm clan in the world that brought me the fame I enjoy today. I also enjoy photography, dancing and listening to music.
What made you choose these players as your team?
I had a certain list of must-have players who I enjoy hanging on comms with as well as them being very high-skilled when it comes to the in-game part. They then helped me pick the rest. Some factors like activity, team spirit and likelyhood of whining were also important factors.
Star player of your team?
Either Fox because he is so famous, or Fluff because he likes black women.
Underdog of your team?
Probably me because I am not that good a coach and I don't have a very strong idea about what TDM is about. I couldn't name a player, we have a consistently strong squad to field I think, as long as everyone stays happy and in good spirits.
Preparation before the tournament?
Some PCW's I wasn't around for while disco dancing and drinking beer, and some reworking of the team mentality from previous years, the players have decided to not use comms this year, which saddens me a great deal, because I love talking to all those guys, but maybe I've been talking too much. Everybody says they play better without it, but I think maybe we have maybe gotten too serious :D
Performance; what do you expect out of your team during this tournament?
Winning and nothing else. If we don't win the team will probably be so angry that everyone will give up quake for several months :D. Some tough maps here and there perhaps but I think we've got a quite diverse field of FFA-players that are good at several different maps, and we'll outrun and outgun all the other teams in the end.
Who will be your hardest opponents?
Probably one of the polish teams, or the UK maybe if they don't rage. Looking forward to playing the USA too because they've got some famous players I can't remember having seen play TDM.
