Event: IEM5

It is quite a long time since Intel Extreme Masters hit

Hanover at its World Finals and you have seen for sure a lot of interviews and movies from this great event. Also Czech expedition was at CeBIT and here are some of our movies we took with some of our stars.

I would like to start with

unHuman, really great German guy that did a lot of stuff for Quake community and we took a bright look to history of Quake and also think about its future. Check this out.

Our Interview session continued with other famous German players and local stars. For the first time we asked

K1llsen about his game and also checked

calipt, awarded as Intruder of the Year. Naja, Natürlich

With second multi-chat we hit Polish Powa,

neo of Frag eXecutors and

Av3k, who - unfortunately - wasn't able to find his aggressive game style in Hanover. Polski Rozmowa

We can't of course miss Master of Lightening, and my big favorite,

mr.strenx, to watch some demos and also ask about his secret stren-eX alter ego. Trrrrrrrrrrr

Second place was achieved by Beast from East,

Cooller. We tried to solve some high difference and aimed our questions to his opponents and future plans. I'am TALKING iT!

Winner of Global Finals and second time Champion of Quake Live, was

rapha. We can't forget to ask some question to this great person of gaming and best Quake Live player of the World as well. Buffed, Beautiful and Bitchin'

I would like to thanks this way to all players for such a great event and I wish all participating players good luck and fun at

Stermy's LAN starting on 31st March.

Cooller which continued in the ESWC 2005 final and the CPL Winter 2006 upper semi-final.

Would czm have won ESWC 2005 if he hadn't made that infamous rocketjump? Was Cooller czm's true rival in Q3? Did Cooller choose to let

Jibo progress to the final to face czm at CPL? Describing his matchup against Cooller czm says it's a "style mismatch" and adds "I beat him most of the time."

ESL Bundesliga with another Sunday Night (9 comments)

Posted by chzzen @ 12:58 CDT, 20 March 2011 - iMsg

Tonight it will be the 6th play day of the

ESL Bundesliga. Most recently, jaysson took a map from k1llsen and psyrex took Battleforged in his match against calipt on play day 1. This puts both players in the favorite position in their today's match.
So far every player lost at least on one map in the German league while there are still many nice games to be expected let's hope that the the unexpected may happen tonight as well.
