Counter-Strike: Interview with 4K^Dark

By: Jason Coene - Published April 03, 2004 at 1:25 PM EST - Writer Archive
One of the more famous CS players in the World, 4K^Dark sits down with GotFrag to talk about the recent Intel Extreme Edition Challenge 2.
4K^Dark took some time out of his schedule to talk with Midway about himself and the Intel Extreme Edition Challenge 2 event and video.
Midway: Please introduce yourself to our readers.
4K^Dark My name is Ruben Alexander Bielenberg, im a 20 year old student from Oslo, Norway
Midway: It's been an interesting road for yourself having played with a lot of well known teams, you have also played at a lot of major tournaments. How was the atmosphere and event compared to those other tournaments?
4K^Dark I thought the atmosphere there was really good, alot of people who came to watch us play, and even though the games did not go as well for us as we wished for, the crowd still cheered for us.
Midway: I spoke with TsN staff, broadcasters at the event, at the location and they spoke of this event being an evolution in eSports coverage and presentation. How do you feel about that and do you think that eSports can grow into a similar format as soccer/football where teams travel to each others locations and play in front of crowds?
4K^Dark I dont think it will take quite some time before something like that becomes an everyday business, but the showmatches Intel has arranged with its lan tournaments so far is a big step forward for eSports.
Midway: I noticed you were not their for the de_cbble match, what happen that made you unable to show up?
4K^Dark Cbble was nightman's map, and I had a couple of lectures early on Friday that forced me to take a later flight.
Midway: How did you feel about 4K's performance and what can you guys do to improve between now and the coming events?
4K^Dark More practice is the key with the team we got now, I have not played since september really, so i need a bit of rust scraped off me. And we need to work on the team as a whole, we just need a bit more time to play with each other again.
Midway: What was the experience like working with the film crew on location? Were they in the way and were the cameras annoying? How do you think the movie will come out?
4K^Dark After a while you really get used to all of that stuff, the film crew were cool, they were not in the way at all imo. I think its going to be a good movie, the people making it seemed very professional.
Midway: I'm under the impression that you are inactive with 4K at the moment, will you be rejoining the team anytime soon or are you looking at other teams to join?
4K^Dark It's correct that I was inactive, and had been for over 7months, but now that ive been able to free up my schedule a bit at school im back with 4kings again.

No, I'm not looking to join another team.
Midway: As a member of an English based team but born in Norway what challenges does this present to you and do you enjoy playing with 4K as much as some of your other teams such as eoL?
4K^Dark It doesn't present me with any challenges at all really. I really enjoy playing with the 4kings guys alot, and I think we have a really good thing going for us now as well.

The eoL days was a bit different and i dont think you really can compare the two, in eoL we were all irl friends basicly and it was cool to be an all Norwegian team and wooping swedes all the time :)
Midway: A lot of questions, thanks for your time and any last words/shoutouts?
4K^Dark I just want to thank Intel, ATI and Alienware for their support and work they have done for us.
