![]() We have such an amazing talent team within CS:GO, in my biased eyes we have some of the best talents in the world who love the game. The casting team may feature some names not as widely known as the likes of, say, Anders, Machine or SPUNJ, is there anyone who stands out to you that you’re excited to hear cast throughout the event? Variety is always good and this one will help us see some of the best players in CS history give us some more amazing and fun moments. Having events like this is something I would certainly like to see more of, like the 1.6 idea, more Kinguin Legends for sure and though sadly this time it isn’t a live event, I am sure as COVID restrictions are rolling back that the guys over at Kinguin and other organisers are getting ready to make it a possibility. We have plenty of amazing events in the Counter-Strike calendar, the top of Counter-Strike includes the Majors, Pro Leagues, ESL and BLAST but there is not much more room in the calendar for other events. With Covid restrictions rolling back, are you looking forward to seeing more events like this one take place and start filling out the calendar with more than just Majors, Pro Leagues and ESL tourneys? I was 100% sold on it, I needed no convincing for an event like this, I do a lot of the top tournaments that are very serious and are just amazing to watch the players compete at the highest level but watching these legends back in the game, I could never say no to that! Maybe I was picked because I am also an old relic, not a legend though sadly! How did you get involved with the event and were you sold on the format and concept straight away?Ī friend of mine, Pani, connected me with Kinguin when they were looking for a host. I’ve been lucky enough to meet him, work with him and even live with him in the past while we were working on products together at ZOWIE many years ago…I would have to come on and do him proud…sadly his team finished last so maybe he did need me? (Joking, of course) I watched every game that he competed in, I even copied his settings. Oh man, picking one is really hard…HeatoN most likely because he was one of the players I looked up to when I was starting my career, I would practice his Counter-Strike spray recoil videos he made back in the day for SK Gaming. If you had to pick one of the captains to play for, who would it be and why? Clearly, I am staying with the 1.6 theme, though both Edward and Neo competed very well and at the highest level within CS:GO. Who are you most looking forward to seeing back in the server and popping heads? I haven’t stopped coming back to it for over 19 years, no matter what games come out…though I do think I would love to see some old-school 1.6 events bring back the players from some of the legendary 1.6 teams for a little throwback event, if it happens, whoever does it, I MUST be involved!!! We are so blessed with CS:GO at the moment with tournaments hitting record-breaking viewership, the game continuing to have new players start to discover the wonders of it, truly as a gamer through and through and I have played many games, nothing can compete with Counter-Strike. With my absolute love and bias towards the 1.6 era, I would love to see us roll back the years but for Kinguin Legends, the focus is on CS:GO being accessible for all the players, new and old, with most of them having their experience in CS:GO. Of course, some of these players got their start in CS 1.6, do you think there’s possible value to running this event in true old-school CS for old-time's sake? ![]()
