Cooller: death asked me to put ZeRo4 out

ImageCooller talks in part 2 of his 1on1 about fellow Russian dueler b100.death persuading him to put ZeRo4 out of the 2002 WCG, uNkind quitting Quake and whether he'd like to have taken out Fatal1ty.



In the second part of his three part 1on1 interview Russian Quake master Anton 'Cooller' Singov reveals that he threw his WCG 2002 group stage game against the Canadian Ni3 so as to put out tournament favourite ZeRo4 at the request of his fellow Russian b100.death, featured at the left in the photograph. At the time this move was highly controversial and had many observers, particularly American fans, upset at Cooller's actions. The veteran now explains his position on such a move in contrast to how he now would behave.

Staying on the topic of that WCG: what does Cooller think of uNkind's decision to quit playing not long after winning the event in light of all Cooller went on to accomplish and uNkind's own potential? Why does he consider that victory to have been aided by luck as far as specific factors are concerned?

Cooller also addresses whether he wishes he'd had the chance to beat Fatal1ty, since that player's era ended before his and the American was no longer competing when Cooller knocked off ZeRo4 to take over the scene.

As always Cooller's answers are frank, interesting and often unexpected in their nature as he works his way through the topics laid before him.
