fatal1ty 1on1: should have won Qcon 2k2 (335 comments)

( Major News: Q3)

Posted by Thorin @ 05:35 CST, 11 March 2011 - iMsg

SK Gaming's 1on1 feature returns with

Johnathan "fatal1ty" Wendel as its first subject in a two part video interview. In part one the Q3, UT2003, AvP and Painkiller champion discusses his illustrious Quake 3 career which launched him as a professional gamer.

Why did fatal1ty's style of play change from being very aggressive early on to more disciplined and safe later? How does he think he matched up with

ZeRo4? What decision by the WCG caused fatal1ty to play AvP? Does he ever shadowbox against the legends who followed him in Q3? Why does he think he should have won Quakecon 2002?

The first part of the interview can be watched at SK Gaming.

( Major News: QL)

Posted by dallow @ 18:25 CST, 10 March 2011 - iMsg

Fnatic announced a short while ago that

David "deus Kinnaird and

Pierre-Emeric "l1nkje" Portier were leaving the organisation and they were folding their TDM and CTF Squads because of this. Shortly after this announcement, Reason Gaming posted the news that deus had joined their TDM Squad as of immediate effect.

This now leaves Reason Gaming with the following lineup:

Pelle "fazz" Soderman
Patrik "zyv" Siren
Richard "noctis" Gansterer
David "deus" Kinnaird
Dan "ddk" Kapadia

deus gave the following statement to Reason-Gaming.net:

"I'm really looking forward to playing with Reason Gaming, a team which i'll be playing with noctis/fazz/zyv at dreamhack this coming summer for TDM. They are a group of people who I get on with very well and have the same goals as me. I'd like to thank fnatic for looking after me and understanding why i had to make this choice."

What l1nkje does is yet to be seen, but we all hope he will find a new team soon.

I started playing Quake Live a few years ago, and even though I'm not really good at this game, I'm slowly beginning to have a feel for the game. I've put together frags that I've made during the period of november 2010 - january 2011, and since I'm not a top tier player, the frags might not be as spectacular as you might see elsewhere. However, this is the first Quake Live movie that I've ever made, and I am eager to learn and improve! So leave any comments you might have, what you liked about it, and what i should work on for the next movie.

Thanks in advance
