LongWalk To Success

by Noname on April 8th, 2007 at 13:55 CEST

Introduction:
Hey can you introduce yourself to us give a little bit of trivia that no one knows about you?
Hi, I'm Phil Crawford, I'm 16 years old and I'm a junior in high school. I play tennis and soccer, and I have one younger sibling. When I was in preschool (4-5 years old), I failed, somehow, but then I skipped first grade later.


How did you get into computers?
I was at my cousin's house one day and I saw him playing some weird game with aliens and monsters running around. I thought it looked pretty boring, but then I heard NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED, so I asked what the game was about. Anyway, I ended up buying Starcraft, and after playing Use Map Settings games forever, I finally bought warcraft. Even thenm it was pretty much just a one game per day type of thing. But, once I went to sites like mym and wcreplays, I realized that there was good opportunity!



Which clans have you been part of?

If you closed your eyes and clicked on a random clan on the Azeroth solo ladder, I'd probably have been in it a long time ago. But, the most recent ones were "TGS," "PoP," "Zn," Verge, and now sCa.Tagan).


You just switched your team some weeks back, why did you leave verGe?
flag VerGe, up until now, was always the greatest clan I'd been in, and not just because of the skill level. Everybody enjoyed playing, and it was a great environment. However, we sadly failed to secure a spot in next season's WC3L. Before I had started playing "for real," I promised myself that if I was ever given an opportunity to play in the WC3L, I would take it, and that's been my realistic goal.
So, when I was offered to take part in sCa.)Tagan's lineup due to inactivity, it was an extremely difficult decision to make, but I decided that it would be stupid to pass up an opportunity like this, to join another group of exciting, talented people.


There are some rumours floating that verGe has run into some issues, is that a reason for your departure as well?
No, if anything, my departure has caused verGe to run into issues, something I never intended to happen and hope doesn't get worse. The timing was just extremely unlucky for them.


What sorta issues are we talking here?
Well, by "issues," I'm speaking of my own departure. I'm not too sure what else has been happening, but I know flagverGe will shed light on this only when they are ready to do so.


You reside in team sCa right now, what is so special about this team?
Well, my team's players are all excellent players individually, and you can't just count them out against a supposedly "better" opponent. Everybody is extremely friendly and personal, and if one wishes to improve on this team, all one needs to do is ask another member to play, and there will always be somebody who wants to play. This type environment should lead to good results and improvement, so I'm very optimistic about the way things are run here.



Can you tell us a bit about your team mates and what each of them means to
you?

Although I recently joined, I know a bit about each person already. First, flag flag Naniwa is always ready to play, even though I might not feel like getting nuked, so maybe eventually I might be able to beat undead.
Combined with Naniwa, flag flag Pato is probably the most humorous person on the team, when he's not busy practicing hard as random, although he does waste precious time playing elf once in a while.
I haven't talked much yet with neither flag flag Nilk nor flag flag Kaki, but I've met them before and they're obviously both determined, but friendly people,and I hope to get to know them better soon!
