Quake: j4rno interview

By: Alex Grantz - Published February 18, 2006 at 11:47 AM EST - Writer Archive
j4rno talks to ESR this week in an interesting i-view.

J0k3r from ESReality has taken some time to interview the rising Finnish Quake 4 star, j4rno. In the interview, j4rno answers questions about his past in gaming, his thoughts on Quake 4, and his future playing the game competitively. Here's a snippet:


Well then, let's start. I wanted to make few first questions, about your past in gaming. I know, that you "tasted" titles like Quake 3 (with clans like team.alpha, PolarBears) and UT(?) (with Destination Skyline), before you started playing Quake 4. What clans did you play in before, and what did you achieve?

Well, as I said, I played CS first, our clan [oath] won Finnish CS championship (or something like that) at year 2002-2003, and after that we were in some CPL qualifier in Sweden, which didn't went to well. I've never played UT for DSky, I was in their Q3 squad. Quake III was never so serious for me, just some fun with me and my mates. I still knew that I had some skills in it, but back then I wasn't that interested to practice hard enough. During the year 2004, I played Q3 TDM with clan deluxe, which is probably best Q3&Q4 TDM team in Finland (not so much tho;)). Nowadays, dueling is the thing for me, TDM is just for fun. Latest achievement is maybe the first place Q4 tournament, sponsored by Creative, wich was held at Cafe Level7 @ Helsinki. There were all Finnish Q4 players around, so it was quite fun.
