The guys over at SteelSeries sat down with our American QuakeLive world-champion Shane "rapha" Hendrixson. The result: The most awesome 12-page interview you will read in a while.

The interview goes from Shane's humble beginnings all the way to his recent victories and his current reputation of being the #1 dueller in the world of QuakeLive. All in all, it's a great piece to read if you are interested in how rapha made his way from the unknown kid with a lot of talent to the international superstar he is right now.

Looking for some samples? Here they are:

"Well, at the time when SK picked me up I hadn't really proven that I could be a champion and they are known for the fact that they win, and win quite often."

"Rapha was a diamond in the rough in early 2008, and then ZeRo4 happened to play him and pick him out for his talent. Before anyone had heard of rapha, ZeRo4 was willing to bet me big money that he'd become a world champion."

""Drive is very important. If I didn't have the drive I've had, I probably would not have won so many tournaments in a row, maybe only two in the past year and a half. I think it's the main reason that I won the IEM World Championship."
