In the 480th episode of my "Reflections" series I interviewed United States of America Kurt "immortal" Shimada, CPL champion and Quake 2 legend.

immortal was one of the pioneers of the professional Quake 2 duel scene in the late 90s, along with friends and rivals United States of America Thresh and United States of America Makaveli. The champion of the CPL's Extreme Annihilation in 1999, he is best known for upsetting Thresh at PGL S3 on Q2DM3.

immortal discusses his time as a pro, why he stepped away and some of the other adventures he had over the years.
