For those who don't know about reddit, IAMA means I am allowing you guys to ask me almost anything etc and I get to answer! if I feel like it..

This could be a disaster, or could be awesome, its up to you fine css players.

About me, for those who don't know me.. I am an in game leader/strat-caller currently playing at invite/professional level (just recently) joining Team Immunity Counter-Strike Source. I've played CS 1.6 nationally since 2003 and started playing CSS on a national level in 2009. I also played a bit of COD1/2/4MW on the side during this time for gpx, sql, dot and im.

I've spoken to a lot of people and done a few interviews and there are a lot of questions out there that I don't mind answering. They haven't been released but this way you get to ask what you want, no complaining about 'lack of good questions' .

My achievements are listed here: http://www.sk-gaming.com/member/snyperau/

Topics can be:
Anything CS related
Anything CS Community related (players etc)
Opinion on things (teams, sponsors, leagues, tournaments)

Not blowing my own trumpet, this is just purely since I don't mind talking to noobs and I think it would be cool if others wanted to do the same. Now is your opportunity I guess, keep it mature and I'll keep posting, thanks guys.

CS:GO to restart the CS competitive momentum again, seems like many teams are moving to COD & BF.

CS:GO to replace 1.6/CSS in ESWC/IEM/WCG/etc/etc?

Not sure if good question.

But where do you find the motivation to play ? e.g (what makes you keep playing)

and do you do much else besides from competitive gaming? e.g (work, gym, family?)

what do you think of the current skill level of players today compared to maybe like 2006 or something? do you think the the players that are playing now would be better than the players that played back then at the same level of competition?

Have you ever pulled a chick @ lan?

Pretty sure this will be a question on a lot of peoples minds.

Are you scared of cars? And if so what models/makes?

Nah, a legit question;

How do you personally think CG could "resurrect" so to say the CS community in Aus?

How does it feel knowing you reached your peak because i carried so hard in team.dot?

And following up on this, why did you lose to sila on backlot with said carry? Not enough carry?

How can she slap?

Do you remember when you and the rest of sqL.09 (you, shadz, killerb, padz & someoneicantremember) beat iM.09 (spunj, digz, stv, dewshu, emag) two maps to nothing on Tuscan and Dust2 in the CEVO-P Season 5 grand final? Even though iM hadn't like lost a game all season you just decided to beat their ass???



You were playing the cheeky blue door line watching kitty on CT tuscan with the awp? And you killed digz like 4 times in a row? And you used to tag a way cooler 'sqL' instead of SEQUENTIAL/Tt/ or whatever it became which all shit CGo teams copied for ages???


Or when you went like 16-12 a second time (all thanks to padz from memory) on dust2?

anyway...my question is...do you miss the good ol' days?

LOL Ponco, yea. I remember those games becaues that team was meant to be the best thing everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, felt very good to smash them even though it was online. I don't miss those days because I was way shitter than I am now and I am just glad I had a sick team to carry me. (no joke)

Given the current state of CSS, where there is a lineup change at least every month to two months (bar voxe) how do you feel reinforcing that stereotype by making the move to Immunity after you and zoltan had played in a side together at ex5 for what seemed like a long time in CSS and rebuilt the team time and time again, with fairly good results given the circumstances?

(genuinely want to know, not trying to troll)

What other competitions do you think organisations eg cg, gg etc should run or should they just keep to the same 5vs5 mr15?

What do you think of coverage of competitions/esports content in general whether focused on css or all esports? How would you like to see them improve? How would you improve it if you were responsible for delivering coverage of comps.

Good Answer, I do understand.
Was more so impressed with how long you stayed at exile5 and were committed to rebuilding the team. Lesser players would have bailed much earlier. I guess i worded it wrong in the sense that alot of top tier players shuffle teams very regularly thus creating a stereotype, didnt actually mean you personally did that. IIRC you and Zoltan didnt change from ex5 for close to a year.
