| Player Spotlight falls on purityy |
Over the next few months we will be interviewing some of The Imperial's players from both the PC and console teams. This weeks interview is of  Jesper 'purityy' Larsen, one of The Imperial's Counter Strike: Source players
Q. First of all can you tell the readers about yourself and your gaming history?
Purity:
Well, hello! I’m Jesper Høj Larsen. I’ll turn 20 shortly and have been playing Counter-Strike: Source since 2005. When I’m not playing CS:S with my other teammates, I’m working on getting through HTX (Higher technical exam) where I’m on my 3rd and final year. Back in 2005 when it all began, me and a couple of mates were heading out to try the new net café which had moved to town. When we got there we realised they didn’t have diablo2, which was my game of choice at that moment, but the owner talked us into paying for an hour to try this new FPS game. I got hooked instantly and spend the next 2 months at the place until I bought it myself. I played my first PCW about a year into the game and realised that CS:S is more than just running around and shooting headshots, and that’s when I got into competitive gaming. Went to my first LAN that same year, and loved every aspect of it. Since then I’ve just wanted to be the best at the game, and look at us now, almost there.
Q. By doing this HTX course what career are you hoping to move into and will you continue playing CSS?
Purity:
*When I'm done this summer, I'm hoping to take a math course so I can qualify for DTU (Technical university of Denmark) and hopefully by the end of next year I’ll be studying as an electronic design engineer. CS:S-wise I don’t know, one thing is for sure though: I don’t want to quit because of other priorities, I want to quit because I don’t care for it anymore.
Q. Sounds promising, so throughout your illustrious CSS career what has been your best moment?
Purity:
*There have been so many good times I'll remember for the rest of my life, but if I was to pick ONE it would be our trip to Outpost On Fire 3. From our 11 hour train ride, to Wantz realising he had spend 200€ in the mini bar, to 3k2 and wantz kissing (!). Never think we'll ever lose touch of each other, and I'm so happy playing with such good teammates.
Q. What things do you get up to when you’re not playing css or working towards your qualification?
Purity:
I got a job as a driver for a catering company, other than that I love partying of cause and hanging out with my friends. But with CS:S five evenings a week and school plus homework , it’s quite a puzzle to make time for it all.
Q. The team has already played 2 LANs under The Imperial, what LANs next year are you most looking forward to and do you think the Xmas break will have an effect on your performances?
Purity:
*I’m really looking forward to LAN79, where I know VeryGames and Roccat will be attending so we’ll have a chance of beating them. We’ve only played the current VeryGames once officially and lost due to us not showing our A-game. The Christmas break is out of need and not cause of us losing our motivation or anything. Gravity and I had some exams to attend so we decided that we would take a minor break and only practice the day our officials were being played. We haven’t lost a game in DEL, EMS or ESEA yet, I don’t think it will effect, nor has affected us. We’ll just come back wanting to win even more now!
Q. Last question now, who do you believe are Europe’s current Top5 CS:S teams?
Purity:
*Reason, VeryGames, Roccat, Power Gaming and us, in any order depending on map and side.
Q. Finally, any shout outs?
Purity: *I want to thank The Imperial and all of our sponsors for making this dream come true. I want to thank my teammates, without them I probably wouldn’t play this game and I’m hoping 2010 will be the year The Imperial will have the best counter-strike: source team in Europe! |
