Night - I enjoy winning badly

I am trying to finish high school this year and score as high as possible on every exam. After that it should be the time to pick a university to go to next year. On the weekends I try to get out of the house as much as possible and spend some time with my friends. I used to play football for a long time(10 years), so I'm into many different sports.

Of course they know what I'm doing, at least most of them do. I doubt that they are jealous, because they don't enjoy gaming that much, maybe only the traveling for free part. Neither do they judge me for doing what I like, they respect me as who I am.

A small percentage of the winnings just disappear somewhere, mostly on the weekends for different kind of things :D. At the moment I am planning a vacation trip with my friends to Canary Islands with the money. I think it's a little smarter to waste it on something like that. I've already been to Spain and Greece with the money over the past year.

To be honest, I had nothing else to pick than ET. I was playing RtCW, which I really enjoyed and then ET came out. In the beginning I didn't like it at all, I didn't wanna start playing the game. But after basically everyone called it a day in rtcw, I had no other choice, because I liked playing with my friends. So I started with ET, time passed, I started to enjoy the game very much and here I am now. Why not CS? I don't like “wait+shoot” games, where aim is basically everything. ET is a nice mix of many FPS games for me.

I believe there are many-many guys who can play all the classes, but a few who can play every class perfectly. I am not saying that I do everything perfectly, not at all, I know that I suck playing medic for example. But I think that achieving a high multiclasser level comes with time. The more experience you got, the better you can control the game as whatever class.

There's always something more to win, for example the current EuroCup, upcoming lan events (SHGOpen, CPC2). Also, we enjoy playing together and have a lot of fun doing it :). People have gone and come, but usually atleast half of the team stays and that only inspires us to get new teammates and build a team to win once again. Teamspirit is the keyword.

I think our biggest plus is our experience and teamwork that comes with time. Most of the top teams nowadays are quite young compared to us or our core of the team, because we've had many major line-up changes as well over the past months. And one more thing, we're not beating our opponents "very easily". We give the best we can on important matches, all of it doesn't come without any serious attempts.

I don't support having too many maps like adlernest, where none of the teams are favorites before the match starts. Supply is a great map and just making a decision on couple of our matches, where we played really well, is wrong. I also enjoy playing goldrush and radar from the old maps, I cannot say that I feel that confident on maps like frost and adler. Maybe it is time for a new excellent map in ET, but I haven't seen one like that yet. Not cathedral, not svarvadel, not dubrovnik, not anything.

Let them do whatever they want to as long as they don't play on any important cups or leagues. I don't get the point if buying a cheat, like why do you do it? :D Maybe it is fun for some people, hf to them.

I think that we have never been preparing worse than we're doing atm for that particular lan. We'll do everything we can to get back in our best shape in those next 2 weeks and the time will tell what happens at Shg, anything is possible, but of course I am hoping for the best.

I don't wanna sound too negative, but I'm guessing that we will not have that many big lans coming up. Though I have nothing against lans and meeting different people. So let's all hope for the best!

I sure wanna believe so, but every game is a new game and absolutely everyhing can happen. It depends a lot on the maps and how well we're prepared for the match. I don't like preparing for SHG and EC final at the same time, mostly because of the cathedral map, but I think it'll turn out as we expected and worked for.

I tried some version of it at the previous QuakeCon, and to be honest I didn't like it at all. Was too different from ET, but hey, it was the same with rtcw -> ET. So I got to say that the time will say again. Depends on what the rest of the community will do, what my teammates will do etc. But if I had to decide now either EQ:QW or quit gaming, I guess I'd have to pick quitting :(

I don't upgrade it much and nor do I spend much money on it. It's totally fine for playing ET. The last thing I bought, related to PC, was a pack of Hyperglides in September.

Doubt I can say that I play for the money. I am not playing a game that will bring me a lot of money. So I got to say that I am playing for fun and I enjoy winning badly =D. It's just nice to earn some pocket money from some tournaments time after time, but that's all.

For most of the time, we're living kinda peacefully, of course there are some arguments sometimes, but that's all. We're having a lot of fun while playing, either by flaming someone on the ventrilo or just making fun of each other.

I think that winning my first EuroCup was pretty huge and the panzer I shot on radar to get docs back and win some extra time. Also I enjoyed winning my first big lan, QuakeCon 2005, a lot. It was something different than just beating teams online. I think that those moments are priceless for me because I worked for those results for quite a long time and finally managed to succeed.

It was fun playing Nations Cup for some seasons, but the previous season was everything but fun. I didn't enjoy playing with some of the guys at all, so I decided then already that it's the last NC for me. We also discussed it with idle guys that maybe it's smarter if we all skipped it, at least this season to prac some on our own. We weren't very active back then, that's why we needed a couple of more days a week to play. Having 6 people in a clan from 3 different nations is kinda hard, considering there are NC matches every week. It basically means 2-3 days a week our players are playing with their national teams.

Individual skills is growing very quickly. Sadly, I cannot say the same about the teams and teamwork. There are many aim-based teams in top of the ET scene, but I doubt they will ever make it as a number 1 clan. The overall level is pretty much staying the same, I can't say it's falling or growing. Maybe Parodia can change things once again :).

idle^sol: You better give a shoutout to both of us(sol&decem), otherwise you're a dic*.
