Angel Munoz - A Man With A Vision

Posted by Fluke at 18:08 16/8/2002.

Myers has taken the time to interview Angel Munoz (founder of the CPL) for UKTerrorist once more. This time they talk about the 2002 Pentium 4 Summer World Championships and what the future holds for the Cyberathelete Professional League:
Angel, rather than explaining all about yourself and the CPL's history for the 50th time, how about we take a different approach: where do you see yourself and the CPL in 10 years time?
Angel - Ten years...? That's a long time, I'll speak in general terms of what the CPL is working on right now. We are working with a television network on the proper format for live television competitions (initially invitationals) in the US; we are working with a publisher on a monthly magazine about the new sport and we are working on solving our venue needs. The venue would be built from the ground up to perfectly accommodate our needs and would include in-house food franchises.
It's another excellent interview from our resident Interviewer with a prominent member of the Counter-Strike community and the obligatory UKT scoop is of course included:
Once again down to the UKTerrorist scoop part of the interview, let us know something about you or the CPL no-one elses knows.
Angel - Ok here's something no one knows: The CPL is in final negotiations with an international bank to introduce a CPL-branded Visa card. The card will be black, breaking all traditions of what credit cards should look like and will offer discounts on CPL admissions and products.
Read the full interview, here, and be sure to check out Myers' previous talk with Angel which gives a lot of the background information not covered here.

Tbh I fail to find cs fun any more the sheer amount of filthy whoring that goes on by f****t clan hoppers, because they have some diluded visions of grandure is w**k. Fair play to the teams like i-es who have stuck together more or less and achived some great things in cs, but the overall haze that surrounds the game atm is one of 15 year olds who just ruin the whole scene by forming and splitting clans left right and centre. What ever happened to playing with mates and playing because u like to play, not out of compultion because u think u have a rep and have to win ;). I believe the who professional slant will def bring the game to light but I think it will ultimately only positively affect a few. The knock on effect of this is that everyone belives they can be pros and it is my firm belief that this is stripping all the sportsmanship and cameradery that existed maybe less than a year ago.

I wasn't jealous, I was just thought it's sensationalist.

It wasn't exclusive. If any of the other sites wanted to review it (CSN, CSC), they could have. Exclusive means we couldn't have reviewed it. CSC basically did, they just didn't call it a review. I personally thought it was pointless to review it because it's free so people could form their own opinions without the risk of wasting money. So instead of that I dedicated my time to writing death threats to Bli--uh, err, planting flowers.

Personally I think it's bragging, but maybe you really wanted to point out that you were there first or something.

Myers was joking, but Angel does dozens of interviews a year so it's wrong to call it exclusive.

We're not jealous of UKT unless it relates to strategy guides, get it straight! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Not agreed Benji. I am 15, i may not be good enough to clan hop like that, but i've only actually been in 2 clans, 1 of which i started and ran myself. It lasted around 8 months, folded because I felt i was relied on too much and i needed time for other stuff. Recently I and my friend have decided to restarted. I don't think we 15 year olds are doing that cos we ain't good enough.

Anyway, back to topic. This i-view rocks, like i said on teh actually interview. I'm just bored. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
