Vo0: The WT-final will haunt me forever

In 2004, I had the chance to spectate history in the making. Netherlands Sander 'Vo0' Kaasjager was dominating his opponents in a new 1on1-shooter at ESWC. The game was PainKiller, and the tournament was just a stepping-stone in what went on to become one of the most impressive feats in duel gaming.

The Dutchman won 9 out of the 14 PK-tournaments he participated in, and is to this day considered the best PK-player ever. Over at SK-Gaming.com, Poland Carmac has picked the Dutchman up for a lengthy interview, which covers his past, present and his Quake 3-future:

What feelings do you have when you look back at your PainKiller career?

I had a fantastic PK career. The best out of everyone. The most tournament wins (9 out of 14), the best results, the most prize money earned, it was really fucking fantastic . There is just one thing that still haunts me and will probably haunt me forever, and that is my 0-4 loss against [Johnathan] “Fatal1ty” [Wendel] in the finals. I had played such a great tournament up to then, but I completely choked and played such a horrible match that I still have some flashes of those matches in my head sometimes. I never watched the show/demos of the final, because it is such a sour spot. I was the best PK player but did not play my best match that day and it hurts.

[...]

How good can you become in this game [Q3 red.]? Vo0-in-PainKiller good?

I will try. The time is limited, though. I have too much catching up to do. CPM/PK are where my true skills come out. Games like Q3/Q4 are just holding me back. I do think I will be a serious contender in this game. Maybe not at the ESWC Masters, but at the ESWC Grand Finals, when I've had a lot more practice, I think I will do very well.
