CSN QuakeCon Interview Roundup (88 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by FishStix @ 16:22 CDT, 15 August 2011 - iMsg

Event: QC'11

Cyber-Sports.net had the opportunity and pleasure of running the QuakeLive Open Duel Tournament at QuakeCon 2011, as well as various other tournaments in the BYOC. However, that's not all CSN was up to - we also had the chance to gather Quake pros at our booth for interviews. Without further ado, here they are:

Johan "tox" Quick

Shane "rapha" Hendrixson

Sander "Vo0" Kaasjager

Tim "EG.DaHanG" Fogarty

Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel

Chance "EG.Chance" Lacina

Josh "Ziel" Remington

Quinn "Mongo" Taylor

Jeff "FienD" Abbott

Also, if you want to check out CSN's presentation of the QuakeCon QL Open Duel Tournament, you're in luck. Check out the GRAND FINALS w/ Vo0 vs. Mongo - the winner takes home a brand new gaming PC and $300 in cash!

Why interview irrelevant hasbeens like fat/voo? Who gives a fuck what they think. Interview someone like noctis/cooller/strenx/czm aka people who actually play quake

I'm not a fat hater or anything, i think hes one of the best duellers ever (maybe even the best overall when you look at money earnings)

but im getting sick to death hearing him say hes "trying to grow esports" what exactly has he done for Quake in the last 2 years?

I learned that fat (not creative or anything else) is a personal sponsor of QuakeCon. But yeah, I agree, he hasn't done anything that anyone could recognize as actually growing eSports in the last what... maybe even 3 years now?

a free t-shirt isn't really supporting esports, nor is advertising your brand. Advertising your brand, is supporting your brand.

<< Comment #15 @ 17:49 CDT, 15 August 2011 >>

By

koji - Reply to #11

when did he ever support e-sports? Don't even bring up sponsoring players..he basically employed them (them, being the best) to practice with him. Free t-shirts isn't supporting quakecon either, you heard wrong.

<< Comment #16 @ 17:51 CDT, 15 August 2011 >>

By

FishStix - Reply to #15

I'd say housing pro players in a bootcamp setting for free is supporting e-Sports :P

<< Comment #20 @ 18:08 CDT, 15 August 2011 >>

By

koji - Reply to #16

if he wasn't competing, then yes. He stopped sponsoring, after he didn't want to play anymore. So yeah, that support was mostly to support himself

Running is stupid. It kills your knees. If you want exercise, lift weights. If you still feel you need cardio so badly, then do some impactless shit like swimming/bike riding.

Tayski - Reply to #23

you are actually wrong. It all depends on the intensity, and if you mix sprinting with jogging when you run.

you can get better results out of a 10 or 15 minute high intensity running session than you would out of a slower long distance 1 hour session.

I'm not not defending fatal1ty btw, I haven't even listened to the interview yet. but I felt I had to correct your big mistake :)

If he also walks a bit, 2 miles a day is not that bad, it's 3.2 kms. That's a reasonable amount of exercise in my book :p

yes its easy, you dont need many weeks of training before you can actually run far longer distances.. But what do i know, maybe he is very busy and dont got the time.

Well, there's a difference between walking it and running it. I could walk 500 miles but i certainly could not run that.

It might be a bit off-topic, but I think eating food on acid is a highly under-rated experience. Around the 6 hour mark, when you're not tripping balls, but you're still tripping... maybe that's the best time. If only chefs would use acid to make better food, the world would be a better place.
