Introduce who you are in real life shorty.
Hello. My name is Pavel, I am 25 years old living in Riga, Latvia.

Describe your quake career up to this point.
About 10 years ago i was playing Quake2 (duels and ctf) and at that time we had a lot of tournaments in Latvia, so I was playing a lot. After some time when quake2 was dying I started to play quake3 and after some months it was dying as well and i decided to stop playing that game. After some years I've noticed that id released QL, then I started to play for fun until that moment.

How would you describe your playstyle? And what areas do you think you have to improve on?
Actually I don't know what my playstyle is. Depends on the mood... I can play aggressive (I am talking it) or I can play +back. Of course if I want to beat somebody i play as carefully as possible and dont give useless frags. As for improving: everything in general, aim, moving around the map, dodging, prediction etc.

What are your biggest archievements in quake so far and what goals do you have for the future?
I dont have any achievements and my goal is to enjoy QL as much as possible, because it helps me to clear my head after work. That's actually the only reason why i play it d:)



You mentioned the latvian scene was quite big 10 years ago. How is the situation today?
Honestly I have no idea what is happening in Latvia.

How do you like quake live compared to quake 2 and quake 3?
Hard to say , because I've played quake2 and quake3 long time ago , so i dont remember those games. I hope there will be new competitive maps. In general the game is good.

Looking at your qlranks profile I can see you play a lot more ztn, t7 and dm13 than the other maps. Do you think there should be more of these maps that are often called "brainmaps" or do you like the balance we have right now?
I played those maps a lot more just because I got premium only a few months ago and I haven't played as much on the premium maps as other players. Speaking about the "brainmaps", in my opinion any map can become a "brainmap", depends on the player level and on their play style. Regarding balance as I said before: we need more maps, so the game can become more competitive.

You say that you mainly play Quake to take your mind off work and relax. Yet you play duel more than anything which is the most stressful of all mods. How can you explain that?yes
Basically, after a hard day at work my head is a trash and playing duels lets me relax and clear my head. I play duels, because I like duels more than other mods. Because in duels you can rely only on yourself and if you loose you can blame only yourself and not your teammates.

Thank you for your time!
