Watched the entire thing with subtitles. Very interesting interview with a lot of topics including talking about Q3 tournaments like the WCG2002. He talks about some incident where he didn't show up for the match or something, also talks about unk1nd disappearing and changing his name which is still for unknown reasons. Playing poker. Importance of mindset on the game. Performing online vs lan. When he started making money playing games and their parents didn't understood what was going on as well as his current family life and so on.
He also talks about how he would still be crushing it if the pandemic and then Russia invading Ukraine wouldn't have happened. He is still competitive. It really sucks that they banned RU and BE. The most epic matches in eSports were the USA vs RU clashes.
Who knows now with Trump in power he may get a deal with Putin and finish the war so we can have these matches back, we just would need that QuakeCon also comes back. They should just ditch QC and throw in QL tournaments again. We also have SombrA making these KeenCon tournaments now which are pretty well made and as far as I know it's the only Quake LAN tournament left at this point. Would be cool to see a QL tournament as well, hopefully with the russians back in the near future.
