Research about video games has mainly studied its negative aspects (as dependance or negative behaviors, as violence for instance) but little is known about the other aspects. As I'm personnally a gamer, I thought it would be interesting to investigate the motivations of the gamers who participate in online cups (as ClanBase, ESL, JeeSports, ZOTAC...). It would allow us to have a more exhaustive knowledge about what online gaming can really be for a player.
Thus, we would like you to fill in this short questionnaire as truthfully as possible. This should take around 5 minutes. The info will not go public.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you need some more information. Thanks for your help !

Given his recent great performance at QuakeCon 2011,
WinFakt wanted to take some time with
Sebastian "
Spart1e" Siira for an interview. He gives some insight about how the tournament was from a player's point of view, discusses about his performance in duel and TDM, as well as a bit about his future in online gaming.
Here is an excerpt:
Before we talk some more about your performance in TDM, I'd like us to go back to this match versus CZM. Did you expect him to be such in a good shape for this event ?
No, I really did not. It was a tough tournament. I think some players really underperformed, and few played better than expected. I didn´t see rest of czms games. But against me he made some nice moves, which worked several times because I made really bad mistakes over and over again.
