Please tell us about the equipment you use, including discussing the types of component and a short statement on why you use them.
Logitech G5 mouse - I really like the feel, precision and speed of this mouse as it helps me to control my aim whilst playing.
Creative fatal1ty headset - these headphones really help whilst playing an fps game to pin point where an enemy is when you hear them.
Steelkeys 6g keyboard - the fast reaction and smoothness of the keys make it easier to move about in game.
Qpad EC-R mouse mat - unlike most other people I prefer to use a hard mouse mat as I find it smoother and faster to move my mouse around.
I have just received my new quad core machine which loads all of my games really fast. I gain a huge advantage in game due to the fps i get which helps to shoot faster and jump to places you can't normally.
How do you think the equipment you use helps you play better?
I think it is all down to personal preference on what type of equipment you like to play with and what feels most comfortable to you.
How'd you join Team Dignitas?
Well after i30 and cpc2 my former team, reason, had performed well but I didn't think we could get anywhere further with the line up we had. mint was kicked from Dignitas after cpc2 and I was approached by Ben and of course I took up the offer. After a few weeks of playing games with the team I felt at home and was picked up as a full time member.
What are your favourite games?
CoD2 and WoW :D
What's your biggest success in pro gaming?
Probably placing 2nd at i30.
Tell us something about one of your team mates we don’t know…
raz has the biggest lips in Europe!
How did you get into professional gaming?
Shameful as it is... my dad. I used to play Medal of Honour with him and found I was good at it. I played it for a few years, went to WoW for another year or so and then finally ended up playing CoD2.
How did you get noticed by Team Dignitas?
I'd probably say after my performance online before i30 and my performance at i30 and cpc2 sure helped me get noticed.
Who's your toughest opponent?
tek9.
What's your favourite gadget?
This little thing that tells you to think about something and then asks 20 questions then tells you what you were thinking...freaky.
What do you think you'd be doing if you weren't in Team Dignitas?
Earning millions.
