Cooller 1on1: "this is why I'm Cooller" (59 comments)

( Major News: ESR)

Posted by Thorin @ 03:02 CST, 27 February 2010 - iMsg

The third and final part of the 1on1 interview conducted with

Anton "Cooller" Singov has been released. The Russian Quake king talks about his uncanny ability to break an opponent's control as well as the importance of analysis to his game.

Did Cooller give up any kind of sporting aspirations to dedicate himself to Quake? What does Anton do outside of gaming on his PC? What does Cooller think of people taking the opinion that he is arrogant when he refuses to answer a question?

The interview can be watched on SK Gaming.
