Division 1

Clan: Loaded/Gunz
Team leader: Djackz

viaIImaximus: Hello! Congratulations on winning your Round 1 match! How do you feel about your win?
Djackz: It is always good when you win your first match :) We would like to follow up in the common matches. Our goal is to end up in the first three places of each division but this will be a long hard way.

viaIImaximus: How satisfied are you with your team's play? Did anyone surpass your expectations? Are any improvements necessary?
Djackz: Nobodies perfect, we need to specify more in detail. We are going to analyze and speak more about mistakes.

viaIImaximus: Your next opponents are 2 Steps to Hell (div 3), TEAM CODIAN (div1) and nubz (div 2). What do you expect from these matches?
Djackz: Our div3 squad should not take their opponents on the lightly shoulders. We must continue to stay focused. We’ve seen Team CODIAN against TNT this was a very close game with a better end for TNT. Team CODIAN is now under pressure this will be a very interesting game for both but we are afraid of no one.

A couple of questions from Loaded/Gunz for the community and myself.

Loaded/Gunz: Hello viaIImaximus, we have some questions for you too.
Loaded/Gunz: This effort you doing to write content for ESR is AWESOME!, and we appreciate it very much of what you are doing for the quake community. But.. wouldn’t it be more cooler if you could upload live video documentary content like; twitch.tv {fiding streamers, getting donators, make a price pool}?
viaIImaximus: Hello LG! Thank you for your kind thoughts. I’m actually having a good time doing this and I’m glad people appreciate my efforts. Other than that, the proposition that you suggested is not bad at all. But! I have never really done any video streaming related content and only recently had started writing for ESR. I really enjoy writing and am still learning about it so at this time I would pass on the opportunity to someone with more experience with video streaming. I also know that funnyb is doing this for HoQ CA and TDM, with VOD’s and commentary. But if anyone else would like to help out with streaming and promoting CA, they are more than welcome.

Loadedgunz: There is a prizepool for TDM HoQ Leagues, wouldn’t it be awesome if we could add this for Clan-Arena HoQ leagues as well?
viaIImaximus: I agree. But it seems that the interest in CA is somewhat less than in TDM. But on the whole Quake Live is less popular than it used to be. It is my intention to bring CA much closer to people as I can, since I feel it’s the most player friendly mode of all and should be able to get new players in more easily. Still, I’m pleasantly surprised how many people actually play CA and TDM. The HoQ CA and TDM league sees roughly 40 teams signing up, and to me that’s an outstanding result for a ‘dying’ game that some ESR users make it out to be. I believe it lacks some serious coverage but also developer’s support. Yes, the community itself can sustain a game but to keep it from ‘dying’ it should be more open to new players and also an interest to ‘pro’ players who play it for money. Anyway, it seems I have strayed off course so let me just say this to everyone; keep playing your favorite game as that is the only way to keep it alive.

viaIImaximus: Hello! Congratulations on winning your Round 1 match! How do you feel about your win?
Xron: Hi. Feeling fine. Everything went as expected.

viaIImaximus: How satisfied are you with your team's play? Did anyone surpass your expectations? Are any improvements necessary?
Xron: We played poor and worse then we were playing before, so if we want to win more games we should step up and try to open quake more often).

viaIImaximus: Your next opponent is The Northern Tribe. What do you expect from this match?
Xron: I think last time we played them we lost and they are favorites here. But we will try to put a fight and hopefully will perform well.

viaIImaximus: Alright! Thank you again Xron!

viaIImaximus: Very grateful and good luck on your next match! :)

viaIImaximus: Hello! Yesterday you played a Round 1 match and lost to whylove. How do you feel about that loss?
PerpetualWar: Hi! Well we knew it would not be easy match for us but we expected win. Unfortunately, that did not happen.

viaIImaximus: How satisfied are you with you team's play? Did anyone on the team underperform? Will you be working on improving your game for the next match?
PerpetualWar: I guess we have to work on our game more. Nobody to blame for loss, we just need to take into account different playstyles, that's all.

viaIImaximus: How satisfied are you with you team's play? Did anyone on the team underperform? Will you be working on improving your game for the next match?
PerpetualWar: Well, it will be very tough match for us (if not toughest), we do not expect win, but we will use it to define our game for the upcoming matches.
Thanks for covering this cup and for the interviews ;)

viaIImaximus: Thank you and good luck!
