Hej kompis, can you begin by describing your average weekday/weekend?
If I work I often work 9-18. After that I go to the gym or soccer practice. When I get home I have some dinner and play some games during the evening.

Soccer practice? Do you play for a female team or is it just a mixed group playing together for fun & fitness? Have you played against fox yet? :)
I play in a female team :) No, I haven't played soccer against fox since he isn't playing it. :)

How have you done in matches? What position do you play? Scored yet?
I play defence or midfield.. I score very seldom, I go more for the defence. :)

You along with other members of your clan caught the attention of the Quake community in the MsQuakecon 2005 tournament when your team secured the top 3 places and $30,000. Do you feel sad that such a tournament doesn't exist any more or do you feel it's better for guys & girls to compete together?
I don't feel sad msQuakeCon is gone, I was more sad when they canceled WSVG, since there wasn't a lot of tournaments going on after that. First of all I would like to see more big LAN tournaments for QuakeLive. If that happens it wouldn’t hurt to have female only tournaments as smaller side tournaments to encourage more girls to compete in the game. However, I wouldn’t want the tournaments to be gender divided as in CounterStrike. In major tournaments where the big prize money is, both genders should compete in the same tournament.

Looking back to the Quakecon events...what happened between Missy and Forever? =)
I don't know if anything happened. You better ask them about that.

Of the female Quakers you seem to be the only one still competing now, being active in both ClanBase and ESL competitions; why do you think the rest of the female community aren't as active?
We all eu girls in g0d are competing active. We have been playing tdm in CB and CA in ESL. Videl, Liefje and Anouc are also playing 1v1 in ESL and other duel cups that comes up. So I'm not the only one. :)

You and some other members of your team lived together in a house. What is your fondest memory from that time?
I have so many good memories from the house so it is hard to choose just one. I liked it when we celebrated a traditional Swedish midsummer at the house with gamers from all over the world.

You're currently dating the well known gamer, fox. For those unaware how long have you been together now?
3-4 years

Any thoughts of marriage creeping in? :) What about kids?
Hehe nothing planned yet. :) Before I have a kid I must learn how to knit so I can make this awesome link costume and that might take a while!

Haha...Nothing planned, but silently hoping? :)
no

Having played QuakeLive regularly since its release what do you think of the current state of the game? What needs changing? What features need adding?
I'm waiting for the private servers, that will be great for leagues and cups. Other than that I'm pretty happy with the game. A lot of things that I was missing before have been added now. It would be nice to see some new 1v1 maps.

Have you tried House of Decay? Easily the best Quake 1v1 map besides hub...
Yes I've tried it a few times and I played in the tourney 9 tournament last sunday. I think it has potential and it's fun to play. I'm looking forward to see top players play that map.

Quakecon will be hosting a QuakeLive 1v1 tournament this year...who are your top 3?
I think fox, rapha and spartie will be top 3.

When you take away rapha can the Americans even compete?
I don't know the American scene that well right now. I have seen some demos of rapha playing and I know he is strong, but I haven't seen that many games played by other Americans. It will be really interesting to see demos from QuakeCon and I’m looking forward to that a lot.

Quick fire round

Thanks for taking the time to do this interview. Any shoutouts?
Thank you. I would like to send some kisses and hugs to the girls in g0d. I also would like to take the opportunity to thank all the people and players involved in ESL invitational for giving the quake community excellent entertainment.
