Event: RS
First of all introduce who you are in real life shortly.
My name is Andrew (called Andy), I'm 16 years old and I live in Sweden.
You renamed from Andyzor to Jewro quite recently. What's up with that?
Andyzorz was just something i came up with on the spot. Jewro has been my gaming nick in other games such as battlefield or tf2, and since I started taking the game a bit more seriously I decided to change. I guess i'm just not so diversive :p
Maybe you could add where the nick Jewro comes from.
The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma aka I just came up with it, dont know where it came from other than my brain. There's also some youtube guy named Jewro but I only found him after searching my own name.
Describe your Quake career so far. (when you started, how active you play, what mods).
I started playing Quake about 2 years ago (just reached 1 month gametime). I play duels quite often but sometimes dont feel like timing etc. so I just play some clan arena but duel is definitly my favorite. I also play quite often, if you'd spread it out i'd say maybe 8 - 10 duels a day.
How would you describe your playstyle? Simular to any pros? Which maps are the best for you?
I'd suppose how i wish to play is very hasty, but hasting so much has a bad result, so i try to slow my pace down thus the outcome is my playstyle. I am also a very aim based player, and my favorite weapon is the LG. People often tell me that I move my mouse strangely, I've tried to notice why I do it and have just come to the conclusion that its a habit of mine. Basically I like to keep my wrist in the same spot with a relatively low sens (23 cm). As for maps, my favorite is definitely dm13. That's where I feel that i can really think freely and do whatever I want. Second would be t7, I like the situations there, and also like to practice my rail on that map. I dont really like ztn, and im not that great at it, even though I've played it by far the most.
We all know the likes of Toxic, Fazz, Spart1e and madix. But how does the Swedish dueling scene look below that?
Well I think there are a few quite talented Swedish players, but none of the top ones are at the level of for example top amateurs of the Russian duelling scene. I think most of the Swedish gamers are just too busy playing wc3 and LoL. As for amount of players I see quite a lot of Swedish people playing quake, but most of them are oldschoolers. Newschool swedes just dont seem to be getting attracted to the game.
What are your archievements so far in quake live and what goals do you have for the future?
My acheivements? None in my oppinion. An acheivement for me would be like winning a cup or maybe perhaps beating one of the top 5 players (when they are sober). I've beaten pros like zsx, fazz, uareaper, fraze, lotn1k and probably someone else i just cant think of at the moment. Most of the wins are on dm13, as mentioned my strongest map.
In your qlranks profile it says you beat Strenx. How did that happen?
Hehe I played him once in zotac brackets, and his connection was terrible. He was warping like mad and I couldnt get a single hit in. So he felt pity and gave me the win and decided to fix his connection and come back.
You are one of the last 6 players who got invited to dreamhack. What made you decide to apply and what are your expectations going into the event?
Well, I go to dreamhack every summer and play LAN with my friends, and once even participated in Tony's FFA cup. Though the duel cup was very limited and only the best could get in. I noticed that there were alot of new players getting invited, so since im there anyways, I thought why not participate? I decided to apply after the last set of 4 players that made it in. And after a few days, I had forgotten I applied and was very happy to find my invite in my inbox. I guess i was really just fortunate to be one of the last 6. I also think it's going to be very fun not being the only noob there. I think it will be quite fun to socialize with the other players, and see the game a bit more from their point of view and talk the game. I've noticed that people see the game very differently, and its a very good opporunity to learn more. As for expectations on my outcome in the cup, I think if I dont get matched against the top 5 or so, I will maybe win some matches, anyhow it will be great fun!
Thanks for your time!
