He's probably one of the most dazzling and controversial players ET has had to date. Despite his young age he was able to show off his impressive skills, helping (among others) Team-Helix and the UK national team to score some respectable results. He was called a clanhopper and a wannabe, but he was still able to outaim many of ET's key players.
His ET career came to a tragic end when chaoz and drago became suspicious during a prac they played. They took PB screenshots and posted them on xfire, razz was using RivaTuner to make leaves and bushes disappear. Triggering an iTG two hour special and news post which easily sparked 400+ comments, his eventual ban from CB was undoubtedly one of the most controversial things the ET community has seen in a long time and has in the end caused hx to miss the EC playoffs.
Even though he is not a part of competitive ET anymore, razz has caused an xfire news post. Why is that? Well, his newest movie just got released.
Made by indu, they're both proud to present
razz vs. violence !
Featuring impressive frags of all sort, be they grenade, airstrike or simply SMG frags, the movie concentrates on the important thing - the kills. Luckily indu has decided not to bore us with an endless intro and a neverending outro but has cut those both parts extremely short. With the movie's length amounting to a total of 11 minutes and 19 seconds, at least 10 minutes are nothing but pure Enemy Territory action.
I caught up with razz and indu for two small interviews:
Interview with razz
FlyingDJ:
Hey razz, thanks for your time. First question: What are you doing right now, gaming wise?
razz:
Well I'm mostly playing with some friends, some mix 6on6s but not that much - I got a girlfriend and i have been outside most of the time =)
FlyingDJ:
I guess it's way too hot for gaming at the moment anyway...so what do you think about the current EC, any surprises and who will be the winner?
razz:
Yeah here in Inverness it's so sunny :D Little bit crap I'm missing EC and I feel bad helix don't go through because of me :\ But in EC I have been suprised alot, I thought Vae would own Maybe but I got suprised and now the teams that are left are not that strong I must say compared to other ECs. But I think idle will win for sure because of their ace spawnkilling and tp :).I also think ND have quite a good chance because of the players like jakazc and emorej I think they can go far and put up a fight against idle. Also 141 are pretty outstanding, I played with all of the players there and I can see they're outstanding. =)
FlyingDJ:
Did you personally (without considering hx and their matches) regret your decision to use RivaTuner in those pracs?
razz:
Well ofcouse I did lol :) i felt so bad... since I used it in only a couple of 3on3s and now hx get put out of EC and I can't play CB. But it has been proven I didn't use it versus Vae, t34 and sFx Evil =)
FlyingDJ:
Tell us something about the movie. Is it more artistic or does it rather show a lot of fragging action?
razz:
Well I haven't seen it yet :D I hope it's good but knowing indu's skill in making ET movies I think it will be great. My frags won't be to great because it's like only from the last 3 months of me playing :( I deleted ALL of my old demos :p.
FlyingDJ:
Too bad then. Well, I hope people will enjoy the movie nevertheless and you can cope with the English summer in some way, any final shoutouts?
razz:
Shoutouts to helix, old-141, uQ.gaming, Rewind, BiO, w!ngs, influx, riZe, Mutilation, dfiance and of course indu! <3 =)
Interview with indu
FlyingDJ:
How did you get the chance to make a movie for razz, did he ask you or did you offer to do it?"
indu:
He asked, before he got busted.
FlyingDJ:
How long did it take you to finish the movie?
indu:
Demos to avi took a month, but I didn't work every day. The editing (effects etc.) took a day.
FlyingDJ:
Do you personally think he used RivaTuner before?
indu:
You saw the other PB screens in the movie, these are not fake. I play in pstarZ now and I manage our server. I found an old PB screen and it was clean. So I can prove he didn't use Riva all the time. I can't prove he didn't use it before.
FlyingDJ:
Now helix missed the EC playoffs due to this thing, do you think they would have been in for the victory if razz was still playing?
indu:
For sure, but it's too late now. I also spoke with the admins to help helix, but they ignored me most of the time.
FlyingDJ:
So what is your opinion on the cheat busting thing going on at the moment? Too much or the right thing?
indu:
I also hate cheaters. But what is a cheat? Like when razz used it, was he unhuman? Yeah, it was wrong he used Riva, but getting banned from CB and all other cups and ladders forever is wrong, at least for me.
FlyingDJ
Ok indu, thanks a lot for your time, any last shoutouts?
