Deeply in love with... Quake!

Tell us a bit about your first steps in Quake.
Once I started with the game, I got to know my ex-boyfriend on that comunity, he was a very talented Quake player and all my desires were to beat him one day =P

You mainly got known to the community through Quake3. What were you very first clans?
Well, Qworld was getting old and I hated Q2 so much... I was waiting so hard for Q3 to go out, and by then I was part of a Top spanish team, called Gore Quake Clan. At the same time, I had founded the female clan badGirlsclan with the idea to put together some female gamers and share experiences... once Q3 came out, I started to play really hard and wanted to go a little bit further. The connections were not so good, but I wanted to play against european girls, that's the way I got to know some german teams and that's how at the end I accepted to join SK Ladies, it was a new era inside gaming for me, and didn't know it was going to be that important!

SK|aNouC, ESWC 2003 Female World Champion

badGirlsclan was one of the greatest female organizations that esports has ever seen. Who was behind it? How could teams from differents countries stay in contact with each other?
Probably the problem to "control" or manage the whole clan, was that there was just one person behind everything... me. At the beginning started as a little team from spanish quakers... I thought it was the first time somebody did that in my country (and probably in many others) and the idea seemed very cool to me. In 1998 we were very few players, so it was just like a little bunch of friends. Once the connections got better and I started to get in touch with players from other countries, I was full of emotions and I thought it was time to create some kind of network between players all over the world. It was not easy to put them together, not everyone wanted to hang on the same iRC, not everyone had same time schedules and of course, not everyone was good at english, so sometimes they didn't like to be on a channel speaking all languages. I, together with the different squad leaders, managed to have a big clan for a while. I was everywhere trying to solve problems, but at the end I was getting too stressed and thought that with time, the teams with solid basis and big wishes to develope inside the scene, would continue, while the rest would banish.
