Major Interview
[MKK]Major (Adrealine Gamer) 2002

The Australian HL master [MKK]Major ...age just 17 years. You are probably the most well known of all the Aussie players but what other big names are there in HL down under?
IThe biggies at the moment would have to be 'Nasty', 'Dev' ermmm 'Horendus' but purely for his gheyness  'Static' 'Blink' a few guys are starting to make a name for themselves for eg, 'taulin' and 'raiden' and a lot of players who've moved on from the game but are still talked about such as 'mystic', 'toast', 'andilizer' and 'hitman' most of these guys are or were [MKK]'ers but sif bias opinion  

Does it piss you off at times playing the same old names unless you play on over seas servers?
Not so much as pissing me off but it gets really really really boring and repeditive.  Playing overseas is mostly for the challenge and adrenal rush of a good match, its pretty hard to get that same feelin here in aus.

When did you get into AG, I know there are only a few Australian servers but what version can you remember playing first?
First version was AG3.2 a dm'er called 'Casual' just stumbled across the mod and made a server out of it and basically all the valve servers at the time were been overrun with cheaters so we moved onto AG. For a time we spent our days toilin away on each others dedicated servers, but the 'pOwA' of forum spammin got us a few full time servers.

If Bullit was to develop AG for HL2 is there anything you would like to see included in it?
Can't think of anything  its pretty damn good how it is now and sometimes its best not to do to much tweaking of a good thing *points* --------------> at valve.

I know you play quite a bit in overseas servers but from your travels around the HL world if you were to name 3 players you respect the most who would they be?
For skillwise='Garpy' For putting up with a lot of crap and not moaning about it=new zealand, 'Dev' For making me laugh='Rigormortiz'

One thing that amazes me about you and players like the USA Dynasty is how well you guys play with what can only be said as 'shit pings' what's the secret behind the skill?
lag comp is certainly the biggest and main reason but otherwise i just try and play a smart game, keep it simple bow 'n' tau and not put myself into positions where im at a huge disadvantage which is up close to people as weapon whorin and spawnin are a waste of time.

The hot topic over here in Euro land is the old 'A3D Sound' what's your views… is it lame & should be banned or not?
Well as far as lameness it all really depends on how you use it which for eg, could be pitching your tent and just wg'ing and spamming players around corners but a player such as this will always lose to better competition I think it should be left unbanned simply because there are a lot of things out there that give you advantages and yes A3D could be a reason why you lose to someone but it can't be use as an excuse generally players who kick arse on A3D will kick the same arse without it  

Finally, what 3 players in this tournament would you tip to win?
mass, garpy or vortex
