- When did you start playing ET, and how did you get into it?
Oh boy, I believe I started playing Wolfenstein Enemy Territory (ET) in 2004. Prior to that, I used to play Habbo Hotel with my cousins. However, one day they introduced me to ET and it was love at first sight. One of my most vivid and first memories of the game dates back to when I played the map railgun. Back then, the game's modern art amazed me. And in fact, it still does till this day.
I began my ET journey on a public server, where I founded and led the clan Pc| on the Gamesmajor servers. My primary objective was to dominate the server by recruiting as many members as possible. The power I gained went frankly to my head, and I believed I had control over who stayed and who was kicked. It was during these initial years that I learned a great deal about myself and underwent personal development. Looking back, I realize I used to engage in a lot of trash-talking, oblivious to how much of a nobody I was at that time.
Nearly 20 years later, I'm still actively involved, seeking to relish the same enjoyment I experienced during my initial years of playing.
- What's your most memorable moment so far in your ET history, and why?
That has to be our first LAN victory in Krefeld against TMT in 2017. By that point, I had been playing ET for 13 years. As a naturally competitive person, striving to be the best at what I do is an inherent part of my character. It was during the Grand Finals in 2017 when everything came together in an incredible moment. In our very last map, we found ourselves with our backs against the wall, on Adlernest.
A seemingly impossible challenge awaited us—an astonishing three-minute time on Adlernest stood between us and the title of being the best in the game. Against all odds, we achieved the impossible by surpassing that three-minute time. To make the moment even more extraordinary, the match was being shoutcasted by none other than TosspoT. To this day, that moment remains the happiest I have ever experienced in my life. The sheer adrenaline I felt upon realizing we had become world champions is indescribable.
- What do you feel is the most important skill in terms of contributing to winning in ET?
The determination to adapt, improve, and overcome is most important. Undoubtedly, teamplay, aim, and gamesense are crucial and unquestionably necessary to excel as a player in ET. However, to rise above and become the best, possessing these qualities alone is not enough. Dedication, willpower, and focus are essential in setting oneself apart from others. I must say that these qualities have served as significant factors contributing to our success throughout the years.
- How does it feel to be the captain of
Elysium and to compete in the LAN event?
I am deeply humbled and honored to serve as the captain of my team. Being able to surround myself with friends whom I have been playing with for over 8 years feels like living in a continuous dream. Since the formation of our team in 2015, we have always aimed high and strived to be the best in the game. Our past successes in 2017 and 2019 are testaments to our dedication.
As we approach the 2023 championship, we find ourselves in a different landscape. After a period of retirement, we have returned to discover that many players have made significant improvements over time. Additionally, we now have less spare time compared to previous editions. Despite these challenges, I am immensely grateful to my teammates for their sacrifices, dedicating so much of their lives to our practices and discussions.
Regardless of the outcome at the championship, I will forever be proud of experiencing this adventure with them, as a team and as a family. It has given my life a profound sense of purpose.
