Chat-session with MYM] elemeNt


EG|Ediaz[tw]: What is the Secret - How did you get that god ? :)
MYM]elemeNt: No secret, just talent - took me 6 months to from i started up before i was in one of norways top teams. also i had the best players in norway teach me how things were done

GT-aSh[R]`-: Do you play CS Source sometimes? And what do you think about the game?
MYM]elemeNt: Never touched it - CS is the only game i've enjoyed playing

What about if CS 1.6 dies - How does the future look for you then?
MYM]elemeNt: I've been expecting cs to die out for the past 3 years but people cant seem to grow tired of it even though i personally have many times - ill keep playing for aslong as the money is good and competition is there.

Do you play other games besides Counter-Strike?
MYM]elemeNt: No. But I did try out dance revolution the other day! done

keKKeN: Is it possible that you can teach me to be good at Counter-Strike if I give you some money for it?
MYM]elemeNt: Unfortunatly no, i think paying for CS lessons is rather stupid when all you have to do is look at demos of whatever player you enjoy watching and try to copy his moves

If people wants to download demos with you, where can they do that?
MYM]elemeNt: I hardly record demos, but when I do they should be up on www.meetyourmakers.com so go sign up

luibao: What hardware and cs setup including refreshrate etc. does you use ?
MYM]elemeNt: The PC im on right now should be a 4000+ with Geforce 7600, not great but optimal for cs. always used 120hz but thats only to remove that glaring thing that comes when u use 100. On tft's i use 75

b0ychild^^^: can i download youre config, that you use right now somewhere? :-)
MYM]elemeNt: Should be on the MYM page if im not mistaken

c`pherouz: What's your favorite breakfast at lans?
MYM]elemeNt: I dont eat breakfast before 3-4 hours of the day has passed by, i usually start the day with 2 cups of coffee to keep me floating until lunch time

Fliippo: Have you ever tried any trickjumping ?
MYM]elemeNt: Yeah but was never very good at it because my duck button is on Q next to WASF so it makes it very hard to trick jump to the left. Also theres not many situations you really need to trickjump in, more for show unless ur super good at it

rEmy: Do you wish that Valve wouldnt have created CSS and are you looking forward to Promod?
MYM]elemeNt: Don't mind, it had to happen sometime. CGS taking over the industry isn't good for CS 1.6, but you cant really complain about anything thats good for the evolution of gaming

hoxtra[F]: How many pracc does you guys in MYM play everyday? is it just against .no clans or clans all over the world?
MYM]elemeNt: Depends on what day it is and how people are feeling, but the optimal thing to do is play 4-5 days out of a week and mostly against teams from scandinavia

Which clan is the best that you ever have been playing in?
MYM]elemeNt: SK.swe was a few steps infront of everyone else for a whole year, but NoA and GoL was also awesome at their peek

Emerson: Hello Element, you are one of the biggst players in our lovely game and have been it for a lot of years now. What do you think is the diffent between you and some of the big danish gamers there have been on the top for maybe 1 year and then after that they will be forgotten.
MYM]elemeNt: Cuz im hot and they're not

gorN: What have you heard about Estonian Counter-Strike, about teams,players or smth like that?
MYM]elemeNt: I dont even know where estonia is on the map, sorry no.

Flaeger: What is your favourite map and why?
MYM]elemeNt: Favorite maps changes all the time, at some point every map in the cycle has been my favorite over the years. Depends alot on what team you play with and what they're good at, it naturally becomes ur favorite map

J`sir_Scary: Why'd he chose a name like eleMent?
MYM]elemeNt: I was 12 and lacked creativty

J`sir_Scary: What does you think about fatality?
MYM]elemeNt: Johathan is a good guy with a great business talent, hes done really well for himself.

c^seryo00o00: ola did u ever think to make a new eoL with new players ?
MYM]elemeNt: No way, out of respect for the players that was a part of it i dont think anyone would like to see a legends name being pulled down in the toilet for marketing purposes

Krullmonk: Hello , how much do you play each day?
MYM]elemeNt: Not as much as I should, but I can take breaks from cs and after 1-2 hours im back in my a-game

mishL: do you still have contact with your old mates like knoxville 4 example
MYM]elemeNt: sorry no, knox went irl mode for all the money so we lost contact

What about the other players?
MYM]elemeNt: Some of them that still plays.. people take things very personal when a player gets kicked/leaves

MYM|Losemann: Who is the best cs gamer ever since the game started?
MYM]elemeNt: Potti. never lost while playing next to him, awesome guy with a big heart

tecnica`allmost: what is the best lan you have been to
MYM]elemeNt: never really been to a great lan, always lots of delays. The CPL is the only event thats been able to keep shit on schedule, but now they've just made themselves look like fools to the community, everyone but angel whos makin tons of money by promoting Sierra games

tecnica`ztuhr: What year do you have the best time in cs?
MYM]elemeNt: 2002, 2003 and 2004. cuz i raped everyone back then

c^seryo00o00: is cs a job for you or a hobby ? how do you win $$ (job or smth?) ?? and when will u retire ?
MYM]elemeNt: most hobbies cost money, fortunatly for me gaming is one of the few things in the world you enjoy doing without having to put ur life into making it successful

VnB-WaYne: Do you think it is hard work who makes you a good gamer, or is it rather being a natural talent ect?
MYM]elemeNt: if you have talent you should definatly work on developing it, but if you have played cs for 2-3 years and still havent gotten anywhere maybe you should try something else

gonky: What player do u admire the most?
MYM]elemeNt: Don't really admire anyone in the CS scene, but barcelonas lionel messi is up there :D

Maxi|niFx: do you have friends that dont game??
MYM]elemeNt: Most of them

Oliver: Have you ever heard about the danish clan Evermore? if yes og what did you think about them?
MYM]elemeNt: rings a bell, cant put my finger on it tho

dA_skunk: Whats your opinion about heaton?
MYM]elemeNt: hes a legend and will always be remembered, even though he wasnt so good the past year doesnt mean you can forget what he has done.

joaergen: best norwegian cs players from 1-3 scale.
MYM]elemeNt: #1 REAL, #2 REAL, #3 prb

Koss: what do you think about the polish powerhouse PGS? have you ever been with a kurwa?
MYM]elemeNt: never been with a kurwa, and the polish guys are a funny bunch of guys with good team spirit. They're always able to win games nowdays which is very hard, so props to them

pirate_rep: How much time do you play cs alone and when do you play with your team.
MYM]elemeNt: I play with my team as often as possible, and at night I get together with friends from time to time and try to have some fun

zekt: When and where was your first big experience to play CS in big stage, do you remember how did you feel and was it great?
MYM]elemeNt: I was pretty nervous, but who wouldnt be? It was at ESWC infront of a few thousands spectators, I didnt have a problem performing though. Nowdays I'm cold as ice ^^

NiP-triger: Which are the main mistakes you see people doing when playing them?
MYM]elemeNt: anything I wouldn't do.

korre: mym|34graders_element, who's the best awper in the world? luq, cogu, frod or the unknown pro Koss[PL] and do you like pizda?
MYM]elemeNt: I LOVE PIZZA!! I usually order with just ham, beef, pepperoni and whatever other meat they got availible. Stay away from vegetables when it comes to pizza. Best players in the world is very hard to put a finger on, you have 10 players who can be the best if they have a good day. It's all having a good start

Bortii: well we all know cs wont last forever, so i would like to know: do you have a clue what you will be doing after that? do you have any plans for the future?
MYM]elemeNt: ofcourse, studies are very important and I dont wanna be 24 without anything to fall back on so Im going to start studies very soon

Sandra_: How did you guys communicate in mousesports? Do you speak german?
MYM]elemeNt: Not alot, but i can safely say i understood more german than they did english. So it was very hard.

Which Danish player do you think there is the best atm?
MYM]elemeNt: I dont have the required knowledge to answer that question, but im sure its someone from noa/theclan/yourname

Which Danish player is the most overrated and the most underrated atm?
MYM]elemeNt: I dont have the required knowledge to answer that question, but im sure its someone from noa/theclan/yourname.

Sandra_: I heard some story about you and shaGuar including a mousepad, can you explain to us a little further about that?
MYM]elemeNt: I could, but that wouldn't be very nice now would it?? But it was naaasty

zigg-: Well.. What do you think about knifes and stuff in real life.. All the violence.. Did you ever get threatend in some situations? Like with a gun or a butter-knife mayby ?
MYM]elemeNt: Yeah me and method got robbed with shotguns and pistols once in L.A. Ofcourse fights from time to when you go to bars, but thats normal. boys will be boys

Nookie^__^: Wich clan is the best in your eyes for now in the counter-strike 1.6 scene?
MYM]elemeNt: PGS

bullseye[S]: Do you think that MYM can be better without REAL? because from what we know REAL is gonna be on NiP , what do you think about it?
MYM]element: REAL wont be on NiP, thats just a rumor. REAL is commited to work things out with MYM

c`pherouz: What does your mom and dad think if your gaming?
MYM]elemeNt: from what i know, they dont mind. But i guess you have to ask them if you want the truth

nepz: which CS-match would you rank as the best one ever? Your best and the best one you've seen, thanks.
MYM]elemeNt: eoL vs SK @ clikarena, and SK vs Team3D winner bracket final CPL summer 2003. Dont really pay attention when other teams play.

Why not?
MYM]elemeNt: good questions, i dont know :P

x17: What do you think about Heatons choice to step aside?
MYM]elemeNt: smart, he wasn't doing so well anyway. Hopefully he can find a place in gaming that he can use his name for and make good money

How do you think he will be doing as a coach?
MYM]elemeNt: propably well, hes loud and good at motivating teams

Do you have any last comment to all your fans?
MYM]elemeNt: Thanks for all who showed up, its a pleasure to answer your questions even thought i dont do it so often anymore. Ill be back. Much love!!
