Goodfella Interviewed

Posted by Myers at 08:15 15/9/2004.

Lets face facts, most interviews are boring. The same boring questions provoking the same boring responses which barely scratch the surface of what you really want to know. Which is why Fragbite's interview with Goodfella is such a refreshing change. The interview covers most aspects of the players life, from his time playing with several sides in America to his hopes and fears for the newly formed begrip lineup. Have a snippet:

Tell us about your visit in Los Angeles. Why did you move there in the first place? How did you later on happen to play with the famous CAL-i-team Rival?
Ok! First time I was in L.A I went there together with Team9 / Adrenaline[GX] for three months. During that time I had great fun and when I came home to a cold winter in Sweden I felt it would be much nicer to go back there to do what you want to do instead of being in Sweden training CS six days a week hehehe! I lived in Santa Monica for three months with a oceanview over the beach which wasn’t bad at all… during that time I got in contact with Rival and we played some local tournaments in Cali which earned me some extra money! So that’s it :)
As for almost two weeks ago we saw a newspost entitled “Begrip collects a starlike lineup”. The lineup consists of five well respected players by the CS-community, Legenden, phyrre, Snajdan, zaffe and you. Zaffe commented that he knew he had a lot of potential to go very far but as for you in todays position didn’t have the sponsors to. First, why did you decide to play under Begriptag – what possibilities does it give you? How did you guys decide to make up a team? How has its been doing with the sponsor part?
Hmmmm. As said I had a couple of offers when I came back home to Sweden, but I needed to play with a team where I could play from home and have time to do something else that for the moment has higher priority than CS! I know every one in the team since earlier, especially Legenden who convinced me to take the chance and go for it. At the same time I would never started to play with them if I didn’t see that they had big potential! We are currently looking hard for sponsors, we have a great organisation who deals with the most stuff for us so that’s nice. We also staking on to just play us together as well as it goes before Oslo-LAN, 011 and hopefully CPL later on!

Good questions, honest answers, a highly recommended read. On a related note, begrip comfortable defeated Justplay in the CSCL 25 - 5 last night.

	-Naz- fightclubclan 18:23 15/9/2004	yes unfortunately there arent enough kids playing q3, there should be more crates to hide behind and more wannabe clans threatening each other. Also it sucks the way that the aiming is based on skill rather than connection quality - no offense but the only reason the q3 scene is so small is that cs is so freaking easy to play in comparison, and you dont need a lot of aim to do well. gah bunch of idiots on this site [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Bard- 18:24 15/9/2004	Quake3 is easy, theres not even any recoil!!! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Roar^ 18:59 15/9/2004	UT2004 instagib on lan is amazing. Just does away with every variable other than aim and reactions. Quake 3 you need alot of experience to know the maps and where all the power ups are, where everyone spawns etc, aim is only half the game. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Bard- 19:54 15/9/2004	But theres more to aim than just point and shoot, like in insta-gib. Normal weapons is more skillful, also means you have to time items. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
