Posted by @ 07:48 CST, 30 November 2010 - iMsg

After this weekend's DreamHack Winter,

Shane "rapha" Hendrixson has once again underlined the fact that he is one of the best duellers in the world, with a victory at MSI BEAT IT and a 5-8th placing in the Kaspersky Quakelive Championship.

Timely as always SteelSeries has now released an indepth feature interview with Hendrixson on their site. The interview touches both how Hendrixson's childhood was aswell as the traits that has made him one of the best duellers ever.

Excerpt from the article

The interview stretches for a full twelve pages of content, so be sure to set some time aside for this thorough portrait of the most accomplished American dueller since Fatal1ty.
