Posted by draven- @ 12:41 CST, 17 January 2011 - iMsg

Event: IEM5

Professional Gaming team SK-Gaming interviewed one of the most entertaining players outside Quake. fnatic's player

Sebastian "Spart1e" Siira. How will he do at Kiev? What are his toughs on his Group.

Little preview:

Would I be right in saying that it's been a while since I've seen a dominant Spart1e?
Yeah that is true. I didn't change much in my playingstyle, while everyone else changed a lot and got a lot better. I find it hard to learn new things and change what needs to be changed when I am always tired while practising. The times that I improve are when I can concentrate on Quake and only on Quake.

The interview can be found on sk-gaming.com.

EQL:Pro Round 3 tomorrow (8 comments)

( Major News: Q1)

Posted by Åke Vader @ 12:25 CST, 16 January 2011 - iMsg

Scheduled: 13:00 CST, 16 January 2011 to 14:00 CST, 16 January 2011
Schedule: Passed

The third round of EQL:Pro is coming up in just one day and this is when it will be settled what teams move onto the semifinals. In time for the games tomorrow, which are scheduled for 20:00CET, Refragged has taken a look at what will be the likely scenarios and also interviewed the coach of one of the teams that will be in the spotlight. In the preview article of the games it is concluded that

Suddendeath vs

Quakeklan will be the most exciting game in the last round of the group stages;

The most interesting game of the evening is the one between the two Swedish teams Quakeklan and Suddendeath. This game is a direct decider as to which of the teams snatches the second spot behind Slackers in Group A and after having beaten Teamkillers with a 2-0 map score. Quakeklan finds themselves in the position they probably have aimed for and desired before the tournament started; beating Slackers was never really realistic and there was the possibility of losing against an ambitious Teamkillers match-up, which they had actually done in their two previous encounters.

Make sure to buckle up at 20:00CET tomorrow to follow the games either via QTV or the live streams that will be provided.

Update
Watch the game on live stream at http://sc2tv.ru or via QTV on QuakeWorld.tv. Commentators for the game Quakeklan vs Suddendeath will be

ESFIWorld.com interviews fazz (20 comments)

( Major News: QL)

Posted by mki @ 07:40 CST, 15 January 2011 - iMsg

Event: IEM5

In a continuation of their IEM V Quake Live European Finals interview series, ESFIWorld.com have sat down with

Pelle 'fazz' Soderman from Reason Gaming. Fazz talked about how he considers himself an e-sports nerd and how he thinks the third spot in his group is a wide open race.

fazz: "I think in my first game versus k1llsen, I played really well, except for my aim, which was horrible. I managed to only lose by 3 frags on both maps (or something like that), while just hitting 15% of my rail shots. After that, it kind of got under my skin and it was all downhill from there."

Check out the entire interview at ESFIWorld.com!
