Angua interview
2006-02-02 03:17After calling Mr.Angua's agent for several months I finaly got an appointment for a interview and here it goes
Hello and thanks for agreeing to do this interview!
Hello my biggest fan
What is your irl status? I.e name (firtsname if you are shy), age, work/school, other basic stuff?
Adam Lindsj?, not shy obviously, 20... soon to be 21, hot stuff, doing the military service and gets out in 71 days
Give us a brief resum? of your qw career. How and when did you start and why do you keep playing?
began like one year after quake got released, some lanaction with my brother who was called daver, after a couple of years of sporadic lan-gaming I got internet
then me, daver, nikita and marx started a clan kinda
spartacus, we owned like every clan there was
then started playing cs, won eurocup and got inactive
returned to qw, joined X, played a season, joined bgsr, played a season there too, and now in cmf
btw. vladde and mrlame taught me alot in bgsr
and I play nowadays mostly because I still think it's fun.
What is the greatest moment in your qw career?
got a few, like winning a duel vs xavier, winning nqr, and winning vs fs every now and then, always gr8 fun
What do you think about EQL compaired to NQR and other tourneys?
I think it's quite the same to nqr, I like it, except for 3pointsystem... 2-1games should be rewarded as they are more fun to play, rapes suck
witch player do you look up to most in QW and why?
tough choice, but I think I'll have to say fifi, he - if anyone - is the most intelligent player ever (hint gaz)
What is your worst QW moment?
oh my, already at flamequestion? can't say _one_ moment, could start with bgsr-fs, mrlame gets banned fs gets wo in groupgames, or why not bgsr-fs playing 3on4 in semi/quarter...
Do you usually whine alot during games or do you belong to thequiet ones who just keep playing and have a fun time whatever the outcome?
a code we started in X was to never talk during the games... so no, I do not whine at all during the games, afterwards I can criticise, but no, not whine.
What is your comment on the milton pic?
hahaha
Who do you think is the most underated clan and player? and why?
hard to tell, overrating is easier... tho the angry harwester from aq is quite underrated
I'd say, clan I dunno, as I said, more overrating in div1.
Who is the most overrated player and clan? and why?
murdoc seems to be rated very high nowadays even tho he's quite the egocentric player, to not speak of the whining and eventual teamkilling. Clan, well there are a few... no need to put them up until the tournament is ove
Who do you think gonna win eql (if u count cMF out) and why?
LA will probably pull it off this year... they aren't scared of the opponents lineup, opposed to tVS for example
Give me a few comments of all players in cMF.. what you think about them etc..
siv - the man of big games, defensive player with nerves of steel. Our not so secret weapon for deciders.
jus(dare) - ra-camper deluxe, haven't played2much with him tho
fifi - like I said before, most intelligent player there is, offensive.
Zhin - same as dare here, haven't really played alot, but history tells here lies gr8 skills.
hlt - the helena, very offensive, and mostly jumps around like he has quad even tho he hasn't.
Vore - mostly plays defensive positions, aerowalk-guru.
Archi - Master of 2on2 together with me, ez win vs riker and rock ggthx.
vana - former sr member, more I don't know, have played like one map with him, where he was quite offensive.
mooniz - mostly speccing & playing wow nowadays even tho he's got madskills in dm2 bigroom teleports.
jester - the god.
fix - probably the perfect player, plays every position there is, and quadruns like only fix/fifi can.
We have heard that Carmack himself called you and said that he have renamed e1m2 to "castle of angua"! is this true? and from were does Castle of angua come rom?
It's actually true, probably because of cmf-gtg nqr semi where I topfragged over former e1m2-champs griffin & mrlame.
There has been alot of talk about this ilf dude from russia, that he cheated on an EQL game, some russians still say he did not cheat and just used low sens or something.. what do you think about this whole situation?
the russians who say he did not cheat are either dumb, brainwashed or just simply haven't checked the demos...
You have lost vs L0 and AQ in this EQL so far, how does it come that cMF (former NQR winners) loose vs previous eazy clans?
dedication quite obviously, we could've used a different lineup in those games, but we didn't as we want to give all our players who _want_ to play the chance.
What do you think about the community at the moment?
Let's see... last week I was in the army, tVS asking us for eql whole week, this week, when I'm home, fix and fifi available, they suddenly don't want to play. They say mirage is away for the whole week, but you see them prac with all 4 members daily. This, I'd say, is bad sportsmanship.
During the last years, we have seen a few topclans come and go. What ingridients do you think a team needs, to stay at the top and win games/leagues and do you have a good recepie to create a winning team?
Nowadays, the team is probably best with 4 allroundplayers, all who can quadrun and play defensive positions. Most clans use mm3 now too, something which kinda gives a different dimension to the whole teamplayaspect... we in cmf haven't bothered to get it, 2oldschool4that. But back to the question, further on it probably depends on the map too, as I like the setup of two defensive and two offensive players on e1m2 for example.
Some ppl like to play 1on1 some 2on2 some 4on4 and some pov/endif, but it seems that you love prewar, how come?
Probably because I'm the bestest there is on it... 1on1 is just hide, 2on2 can be fun if all players play 4fun and no hiding, pov/endif just suck.
and I have never lost a single prewar
Im planing to run a povdmm4 soon, UL won the last one vs Interceptor in the finals, the upcoming tourney will be held on wargamez without minping, who do you think gonna win?
I have no idea about povdmm4, probably the one with 12ms and a killer shaft, perhaps dave paradoks larsen ?
I have seen on some demos that you use tracklist during games to see who got pent/quad, and that you have tracklist bounded to mouse2, is that true?
actually, I don't use tracklist to see who got pent/quad, I use it to see if the specs are speccing me, which makes me win the tracklist, it kinda goes hand in hand with my prewardedication. If I get many specs tracking me, I'll do hot moves and everyone will be happy.
I do not have it bound to mouse2 tho, but y, like one button up from my moverightbutton
i know you always got the latest qw gear, the qw glove the hottest mouse and qw pants. What it the latest high tech qw item you have bought
there's this new qw-helmet.. it gives me +50% sg and 125hp when spawning.
What map is your favourite? and why?
e1m2, no shaft, many sg-duels, lots of survival and sneaky tactics are needed, perfect.
Rumor is that you played with ToT_Slabby in the topsecret clan gatugeng a few years ago...what skills and techniques did you learn from him?
I learned to not care about getting teamkilled constantly
and the topsecret take ring-tactic
Okey some fast questions now....
Sassa or Gaz ?
he he, gazsa
QW.nu or besmella?
qw.nu
Link or Kingpin?
HAHA, link
prewar or play EQL finals?
prewar, we're already out of reach for the finals :D
Fallbunny on or fallbunny off?
fallbunny off, more hot skillz needed
russia or poland
russia
Vladde or Manu?
gatugenget
Obv or SD?
as long as it's not the whiney SD's, i'll go for SD, as OBV are all whiney except muti and nas
Thnx alot mr.angua... some final comments before we call it the day?
sometimes, dead is better.
Thx to manu/vladde and nas for helping me with the questions

Flame interview
2006-01-09 01:50Got some time with
Flame from IRL in div4AHi and welcome,tell us abit about your QW history
I started play Quake in 1996. First year i played only on keyboard vs my friend Teether, which was the best quaker in the Czech Republic :). After 1 year i began play on the mouse. About 1997-1998 i did enter to my first clan RN (Radiant Nails), where i was for 3 years i think. After that i had age of Quake 3 ;) for 2 years in my second czech clan NR (The Necroraisers) in which still im but i dont playing quake 3.
Now Im in IRL (In Real Lifers).
Tell me abit about IRL, the clan you are in right now
IRL is clan about only 4 czech players which are the best in Czech Republic in QW i think. Four people which are Johnny_cz (student of High school), moris (student of High school) and me + shpeq (working ppl ;) )
What is your goals for this EQL2 Season?
We wants win 4a div sure:) ... I think we wants especially good play.
What do you think of EQL, how was season1 and what can we get better at doing?
Im not of one players which watching all about QW :\ and i think :) i didnt play season1 but EQL is from my side good league which has all:). Maybe i wish EQL with 2on2 and 1on1 with same style as EQL 4on4. ;)
Who is ur favorite QW player of all time and why?
Hm, difficult question ;) but my favourite QW player i think is Lakerman, coz i like dm2 and i liked him. He was which maked first time jump in dm2 from top over lava to ya-tele. :)

Qhlan9 has been fantastic from my pov.
My clan SuddenDeath(1) have played 46 4on4 games.
Me and bps hade killing time to take care of, a few hours ago, and made some nice stats from the lan: cheack it out here
The day?
bps
and ok98 lost vs dje/muti in a close 2on2 game and were out
muti was the stronger man and took the 1on1 dude out in the earlie stages
retic
with sassa = the weakest 2on2 team @ the lan and lost earlie in "the group of death"
Won the 1on1's for semi-noobs :) bl0n
sassa
lost vs molle in a close 1on1 game and then bps took care of me in the LB
ok98
lost in the first game vs bps and then out vs locktar?
votary
Bronz winners with phrenic in the 2on2's.. very nice played in the last game vs the obv. kickers :)
phrenic
came FAR FAR in the duel compo and the best game was prob his win vs bps
trash
reppie was the stronger man, but he get to taste the bigmans(trash's) shaft abit
molle
him and trash won their group game and lost in a even game in the quarters :/
that was the 1on1/2on2's, lets go to the 4on4's?
SD1
lots of games, first the win vs obv. (tight on dm2 :) eller va s?ger ni?) and the rape vs crew etc...
Winning GroupA
vs SD2 in the semis and a nice preformance by SD2 on dm3 but dm2 is not their map vs us!
FS in the finals? shiiit way 2 hard 4 us specially on dm2/3 but on e1m2 was abit closer but was not even close to tuch those crazy 13ms div0's
Lost a close one vs cMF in EQL
SD2
runnersup in groupB with FS as the winners.. but the teamplay looks good specially after the close dm3 vs SD1 in the semis.. very nice!!
SD.P
Winning their first off. game in EQL vs Vitun Kova Bosse
This looks very good in the future and VKB had raped them earlier on both dm2/3!
Nice comeback from those earlier pracs!!
Rating this QHLAN?
I always go by the IMDB ratings (1-10)
and Ill give it an 8
Why?
obv., SD1/2/P, FS, melkor (?) and ofcourse LORN/GRYMT and the rest of the crew with their normal "hetsande" made us laugh alot of times!
Spec room wasnt as big as before (due to renovation but it was tight and friendly..
Big GG*s goes to my teamm8s that fixed up lots of things!

I was up all night (sleept 20 min) and was finaly around 08 in sthlm and p3pp3 picked me up and we were headed 2 m0lle!
Retic in my clan got some problems with nas that didnt get hold of a car so we somehow got him to fix his way here in some unnaturaly way for a rock star that he is :)
