I just found this mini interview with atr|James. He was going to be playing in the VIA ESi tournament in January but couldn't make it in the end so it never went live. I thought I may aswell just post it here in my journal rather than hit delete.

ESR: Tell us about your gaming background.

acelethal: Played the command and conquer rts series for 4 years, followed by a year of call of duty. Then played some painkiller on the world tour as my first deathmatch :D


ESR: What hardware do you use?

acelethal: Using a shuttle as they are good for travelling with. Using a logitech G5 on a Steelpad Qck+ as they both rock and a Logitech media keyboard.


ESR: How do you think you'll do in the VIA ESi tournament?

acelethal: Not to sure really, never played a quake before so this is all new to me but ive been playing quite a bit for the last 2 or so weeks so well have see :)


ESR: Who are you most wary about in the VIA ESi tournament?

acelethal: Im expecting to see deus, toogood, garpy and kuula placing well.


ESR: Quake 4 has been out for a few months now, what do you think of the game and do you think it has a future in Esports?

acelethal: Yeah I like it. I think its got room for improvement but its not as bad as people make out. I think its got atleast a year or 2 in it depending on how good ut2007 is.


ESR: How would you describe your Quake 4 playing style?

acelethal: Erm... defensive ?


ESR: Who do you think will dominate Quake 4 in 2006, and why?

acelethal: I think when it comes down to it if Fatal1ty has his heart in it then he will take the world series. There are a number of others like Cooller, Ztrider and Vo0 who will be up there but his dedication, practice regime and especially experience are hard to match.
