With the Playoffs of the #ET-Cup and the rise of his new team, I have decided to ask NxM some questions about the Cup and for sure about ET.
Furthermore he will tell us a bit about his gaming career and the maingoals of his team.
First things first, who are you?
I'm Nick "NxM" S, also known as blaKe, student from Kampen, the Netherlands and 16 years old.
Playing ET since 3 years now and I still like it a bit.
I'm on an ICT school in Zwolle in my 1st year and doing it nice there.
Okey, and now tell us a bit about your gaming-career.
After playing pub for a long period, I made a clan myself called SoD (Survive or Die) with random noobs from publics. We played in the OpenCup 1 duel while using Teamspeak
with 1 guy with a mic and got owned by d#227, after that match I left SoD and joined up with Opium Overdose. In that clan it wasn't going very well either, I wasn't skilled enough and decided to leave before they were gonna kick me.
After that I became demo-maker of dikketrip and after playing 1 prac-match with them they saw I'm not very bad and later I came in there lineup and played together
with Option and other guys. While I played for dkTrp, I also played in paparazzi, the old 3v3 clan with Option, Drunk and me. We played some nice matches together, but later when I decided to leave dkTrp we didn't play together anymore.
After I left dkTrp, I started adminning for ClanBase, first OC and later on the bigger cups.
When I didn't like it anymore, I was searching for a clan again and a guy called "albski" pmed me to join the wannabe team (old pwn-team) for their 6on6 squad, a clan with nice guys like mAnki, asd., daze, cYcis and some more guys.
After an issue with the leader albski and mAnki we decided to stop, they were going on as 3o3 team.
Meanwhile I started an own clan and invited guys as asd., MuD, kyV, Yoker, Hein, LioCo and some more guys there.
After asd. left to rvL, we decided to stop and I was searching for another team again. I came in contact with a guy I know, SnooZer, and we made iG/cA/incr with guys as Efax, foSt, mize and some more nice players. Later when some guys were caught for cheating, we stopped with the clan. I started paparazzi, the mix clan, where alot of great players
played in together with me and others, players such as ae^, jafo, T-Shot, gyze, ExquiziT, cor73x, jdoe and alot more.
When i didnt want to continue playing for this team, I came in contact with Mordholion (aka MoRd/addict) and I joined up with the guys from Dark Alliance, I teamed up with players such as addict, EtRnL, Estaloth, Xeus, slwmotion, guest, the clan was alive for a long time, at the beginning we called the team paparazzi, renamed to addicted eSports and finally to illuminated. We had players such as Fuchs, HerBaL, Mikkis and Nighthaven,when they left our final lineup was Estaloth, indu, Komar, slwmotion, Treaver, sky, Meth, EtRnL, addict, Xeus. We played alot of nice matches and had alot of fun together.
After the clan went inactive we stayed friends and chose our own ways,For a short time I played in the united-Souls 3o3 team with chosen and criatura, later on I joined outRaged.eu where we had a great skilled lineu, with fazz, battle, anim, antz, matz, snuble and myself. we became a part of oceans6 and had alot of lineup changes, some players left and vEg, inSi and qraigu joined.
One week before the EC Quali game I decided to go inactive and started adminning again at CB, WL and ET-Cup. But after a few matches, i realised that I didn't like it anymore
and now I'm only adminning ET-Cup. After leaving CB and WL, I revived paparazzi again, I played alot of matches with them, but realised that it was quite useless and that I wanted to be leader of a clan again,i started to recreate illuminated again with Meth and tried to recruit some players. When I started to talk with duro we decided to merge (vero and illu) so we torecruit only 2 guys and started some wars.
Now we almost have our final lineup, we're only recruiting 1 rifle and we're already praccing and participating in alot of cups.
Besides active gaming you are in the #ET-Cup Crew. What was the reason for taking such a position in the gaming-buisness?
Well, while I was playing for dikketrip, DaN (the leader) was adminning a game in the CB OC and I was doing it with him 1 time. I liked writing a report, taking demos etc and that's why I became admin.
But, after a while it gets somekind of boring because everything is the same and I didn't like it anymore, I wanted to do something else. That's why I switched 2 times between adminning and active gaming.
I stayed in the ET-Cup crew and left CB/WL because adminning et-cup is way different and more fun. When you admin a cb / wl game you always have to do what the supervisor tells you, its difficult to change something, but et-cup is right the opposite.
Last week you lost after an exciting match vs. elite with 2:4. If you have had your rifle do you think you could have won the match?
Well, we played well against them, Meth was rifling for us, he has a nice aim with it, unfortunately he is less skilled in shooting riflenades. Real rifles can kill a lot of guys with their riflenade,
Meth is unable to do this because normally he plays fop. I think we could have performed better with a real rifle.
What are the main goals of vero ?
We want to show a nice performance in the cups we're playing at the moment , and stay alive this summer. If we have our new rifle we will prac alot with our final lineup till we go
inactive for a summer break. I'd like to play 1 more CB OpenCup with this team, maybe some things change, but after I played OC with illu/o6 we never showed our real potential. Before I quit ET, I'd like to finish an OpenCup first ":)
After you went inactive at oceans6 you established a new Squad with which you decided to join a few weeks later the multigaming clan #Lucky-Bitches. Introduce your bitchy asses!
We're a team with a lot of potential, currently forming the squad and praccing alot. We still have some things to solve and things which have to be alot better,
but the teamplay is coming. Having 2 great medics who can aim nicely (appel and rocky) and 2 fops who know what to do (mjo and Meth) and besides that having duro as thinking person
and myself as the ingame leader and rambo engi we're a mix of nice players who only need a rifle to complete the lineup.
My personal goal: I'd like to become a better player, I see alot of players aim better every day again around me, but I'm sometimes thinking that I can't get better or something.
I'm waiting till a guy like teKoa/butchji pms me to learn me how to play this game and get skilled so I can dominate a little bit in ET :P
Lets come to the Eurocup. Idle.ee beat 141 with a good performance. Do you think there`s any team left who can prevent them from climbing the Eurocup top?
I guess Idle.ee will be unbeatable this EC, they got Night as master-spammer and teKoa as best ET-aimer and they have a great teamplay together. deMi and Team-ND might come close to the first place,
but they won't be able to defeat idle.ee.
idle.ee will be like uQ last season, where uQ dominated the EC with an easy win on this squad - This EC you'll see idle.ee dominating the EC.
Last question: Does the ET-Community pay too much attention on the "cheater-hype"?
Yes, I think players probably won t get banned as you can see there is not enough proof or that admins don't got time for it. Only when there comes something like torspo ( I for one think he does not cheat) they give it a little bit time.
I guess players like torspo and mAus are clean, like foSt, mize, butchji where people also are whining about.
Okey, thx a lot for the nice interview. Now gimme your shoutouts!
My shoutouts are mainly for asd. and addict because they are the coolest guys! Also shoutouts to the players who played with me in dkTrp, oceans6, illuminated and now in vero (and the people I forgot!), I can give you alot of names but I guess this is better :P
