Introduce yourself shortly.
Hello everybody, I'm Niels 'n0ns' Dutry. I'm 22 years old and I just graduated as master of science (IT).

Describe your quake career up to this point.
I started playing quake 3 against bots in the year 2002. In that time i still had a dial-up modem and a crappy pc. But a few years later I found out about quake 3 online and the addiction began. I played a lot of defrag, instagib and clan arena in the past. About a year ago me and Smofo started thinking about a TDM team, named gentlemenclub. Anyway, at that time I started dueling and I've been enjoying it!

What’s the nickname nons all about?
Long story short, I started playing with the nickname n0nsense. Everybody knows the word and it stays almost the same in most of the languages. Everybody in q3 called me nons, because they could be arsed typing the long name. So when i registered to ql i called myself nons.

How does your defrag experience help you while dueling? What are the most underused jumps that if mastered would give players a decent advantage?
Having a history as defrag player gives me a big advantage in my movement. As defragger you are always searching for the best routes and tricks that bring you to the places you want to go. This means I'm sometimes sitting in a server trying to get a grip on hard rocketjumps or strafing tricks (the so called underused jumps) :D Lost world has a lot of underused tricks like the baksteen-nadejump, rocketjump in the curved corner from red to mid platform, etc. These movements help to surprise the enemy and catch them off guard. So ye basically having a history as defragger gives me some advantages, but its not the biggest deal in duel! There is so much more to think about...

What pro players would you say you play the most simular to?
Stermy, because im a bit of a rail whore :D
Avek because i can be rushy until 1 frag pays off to turn over the game.

You play both duel and tdm actively. Which do you like more and which do you think you are suited for more?
Well thats a though one. I really enjoy playing both modes. As Gentlemenclub, we are a happy group of people making a lot of fun while practising and competing in cups. As dueler I like the fact of improving your game style. As I said I started one year ago with dueling and I'm still enjoying to search for weaknesses in my game and how to improve them. On the other hand TDM helps you with the combat skills and accurate timing (weapons, mega, armors, powerup) in duel. I like both the gametypes and I don't really know for which gametype I'm suited better. Spectators should give their oppinion about that!

What are your goals in Quake Live? Are we ever going to see you on any lan events?
I don't have any specific goals in Quake Live, I'm just loving the game. Otherwise I'm happy we won the finals in div 1 on clanbase with gentlemenclub. Although it has always been a desire to attend a lan event like Dreamhack or UGC, but in most cases I just didn't have enough time and money to get to these events. If I would go to such an event, it would be to make fun with Twister, Insan3, Tony etc :) I would definetly go to the Adroits LAN if Malaka, Redemptor, dem0n, etc are willing to make a belgian team! I think we shouldn't be that bad at all.

If you were allowed to pick any players to form the strongest possible tdm team around you who would you take?
I guess I would go for noctis. I've talked to him occasionally and he's a really nice guy and of course strong teamplayer. Too bad he ain't active in tdm or duel recently :(
Pavel because he like never dies? oO
And toxjq because he just provides all the aim the team needs ! :)

If you were given the task of creating a completely new weapon for Quake 5 what would it do?
SHOOT PORTALS, imagine how great the positioning could be then! For example on hub at red, keep a portal there and just run map and go back to defend red. No really, i don't have any idea on what to create in Q5 :/ The weapons now suit me well enough. The new weapons as chaingun, proximity mines, etc on ql didn't work out either so :)

If you were to be trapped on a remove uninhabited island and would have the chance to take one book, one movie and one album with you which would you go for?
WTF are you asking
Book: How to travel back home from a uninhabited island?
Movie: Donnie Darko (so I can get more paranoid than i already am)
Album: Bob Marley - Legend
Don't forget to mention that: WTF are you asking

As far as i know you tried playing shootmania. What's your opinion of the game?
I don't like the fact that there are only 2 guns in the game. Especially the rocket launcher is a pain in the ass. In my opinion a lot of shots are random-spam-luck-cross-map-hits.. The 3v1 gametype, known as elite, would be awesome with a various gamma of weapons, but it's boring as hell to spec. Also all the maps have the same look, which gets boring after a while! Last but not least, it doesn't run on a solid 125 fps like quake!

Thanks for you time! Any last words/shoutouts?
I want to thank Twister and Memento and the sponsor of this event, my whole TDM team for the great games we had together and everybody who's supporting me in this cup! ;D
