Long Form Answers

Best skill?

Well I was known for my 2 rax level 5 rush, many people used to think I hacked for that reason alone. I perfected the art of it, and I really dont think anyone has ever duplicated the rush the way I once performmed it. Nerzy and a few other have stated its the one strat of mine they dont want to have to face.

Worst “skill”?

I dont think I have a worst anything. however I was never excellent at anything but the 2 rax level 5 rush. I was just good enough at everything else to play with the best players in the game and compete

If you could change one thing about War2 what would it be?

I would made it so the game was unhackable, Contrary to popular belief I never used a hack. I have always openly admitted to having one on my computer for a few games to see the advantages one would have, I also openly admit to downloading one, just to play summoner in a game. Lothar.. was my ally and we decided we were going to catch him hacking one day.. So I downloaded a map hack watched him move from 4 to 5 I was at 12 and went smith first he went rax first and he beat me to level 5 when the whole point of that game was to get to level 5 as fast as possible I cut peons and gruntsjust to have enough resources to click one level after the other he beat me to level 5 by about 15 seconds.

Favorite strategy?

2 rax level 5 rush

Anything you regret?

Nope to many good years and good times

Confessions

What is there to confess other then I am the only player in war2 history to be #1 on every major ladder from Cases (IGL) Kali/Zone Till the game died completely in 2003

Most memorable games/times?

Carrying wulfgar at the seattle net party and almost making it to the 2v2 finals after winning the first game 2on1 and almost beating ash/ywfn the second game 2v1 I steamrolled ash only to miss a sapp that would of ended the game by approximately 2 seconds, only to finally beat ywfn down far enough to have it won and not realizing that ash had gotten a peon out to rebuild and ran over me with about 18 lusted ogres

What makes you memorable?

Im hawkerz what else needs be said

Who was the best of all time?

Well I dont have a computer with 100 of the top 20 players of all times games, that can reconstruct games and pull out a winner... In the Early days of war2 it was TanthalaS but he quit about 6 months after the game came out and went onto Tribes, Then came DethWlkr who was probably the most dominate ally in the game for a good 2 and a half years after that. 1v1 he wasnt nearly as tough but during that time he is the one ally I would of wnated to have. After Ash about 98 I think Ash was around 16 he finally grew into the game with his full potential. From 98 to 2003 or so he was consistantly one of the best 1v1 and allies to have. He wasnt to shabby from 95 to 98 either, and I imagine hes still not to shabby today either. While not necessarily the best overall player for 13 years. He has probably had the longest run as a top player in the game

Describe your “career” from start to finish.

I started on AOL playing in an AOL league with Redrum, Dano78, Ash, BHEnglish otherwise known as hugh. I got Kali around 80k Serial and Played there joining the Fat~Clan and then moving onto ^SoL^.. Around 97 I beat Azteca for the first time, where I finally started to get noticed as a top player.

Over the next year I refined the art of the 2 rax level 5 rush at a level that has never been duplicated. I became very dominate for about 2 years staying at the top of every ladder. At one point I had a smurf account that was 164-0 playing the best players on both EF and Fastest. until I finally lost a game playing 2s. During the Bnet era with Archangels IWL I held Gow Pudking for around 7 months before they held a tourney for gow pudking that I could not attend, in which buzzbomb won.

I took a long break in 2003 for about 5 months from the game which resulted in me never coming back to the level I was previously at. From 2004-2008 I have played off an on a few games here and there never really getting serious again.
