Name: Kimmo Kurola
Age: 22
Team: Epsilon / Among the Apes
Location: Oulu, Finland
Started gaming: At public in DoD b1.0-b1.1

Hi, could you introduce yourself to readers?
Hey! I am Kimmo Kurola, student from Oulu and I play with nickname "Sagi".

Why did you start playing?
My brothers used to play Quakeworld Team Fortress. At the time, I was too young to play, but I liked to watch my brothers gaming. When DoD was released, I just had to test it. Before trying it, I had played first person shooters only in single-player games, but that DoD test in 2001 got me addicted and I'm still following that path.

What still inspires you in DoD after these years?
Version changes have been changing the game during the years and kept the game interesting. Even if the Source hasn't been developing much since the release, it has been fun game to play. Also competitive gaming in high level is new to me. I'm still learning more about the game, teamplay and tactics in every match and of course forthcoming LAN-events are giving me more motivation. Main reason for playing the game is enjoyment it's giving me. No-one does things for long that they dont like.

Do you play other games than DoD: Source?
Nowadays I play TF2 just for fun. I also play some single player games randomly. These single-player games are always changing between new "hit" games and nostalgic retro games.

In your gaming career, you have been in various Finnish top teams and also in foreign teams. What made you to join to foreign team to play DoD:S?
I have always played in Finnish team when the suitable one has been found. After
Afterlife's DoD:S team dispanded, I couldn't find any suitable Finnish team so i decided to look for other European teams. Practically, only difference is the language. It's also a good change, because as we all know, Finnish scene is rather small.

Currently you are playing in Epsilon. According to zP!, they are going to attend LAN-events. Is Sagitarius going with Epsilon?
Yes I think so. I'm going to France for sure. We are gonna discuss more about Danish Kwazq and LAN-event in Madrid, but probably we are going to attend if financial problems won't occur.

You are playing rifle, but can you handle other weapons aswell?
In Source, I have been playing mainly rifle. In previous versions, other weapons have become pretty familiar too. I think I can adapt to automatic weapons pretty easily, but adapting to the sniper rifle wouldn't be so easy even though I often pick it up from the ground. I play rifle routes that are going with the heavies or sniper. That's why I pick up other weapons time to time so I gain experience from other guns too.

In DoD: S you have also made some movies. Could you tell your opinion what is the best DoD movie, what makes it best and what is the best movie you have ever made?
I'm not on my own computer at the moment so I have to trust my memory. Most unforgettable movies have been Nuker's Britneyxxx vol 3 and tigii's tigiilan. What makes these two better than other is that they have the speed and the high quality of music and frags.

What comes to my own movies, I have to choose the latest Source Hero because my skills in game and editing are developing. That's why the new is better than the old one most of the time. Making HIID's movie was also fun, because of the quality of frags.

Any plans for the future?
Options for the future are still open. They depend on LAN-events, studies and fitting them together. The spirit is good and there is still loads of motivation, so the future is still open.

And some short questions to the end:

Favourite map? Anzio
Favourite weapon? Kar
Favourite player? xyfo
Finnish or foreign team? Finnish even though the current clan has a good spirit
zP! or dayofdefeat.fi? zP!
Tykari or tepesa? Masa>Tero
Source or 1.3? Source

Do u have any hard question for the next interviewee?
Do you play with your pants on or without?

Thank you for your time and good luck on the upcoming LAN-event.
Thanks and cya!
