Interview with PF's Luis
First off, everyone thought you were leaving for good...what happened? =\
nite I quit was having a rough nite as I already talked to jeff and a few friends and explained them what happened... besides work's been really intense last couple of months and next 2 months aren't cake either, but for the most part I did miss shooting some games in pf and tp which is why I'm back
Ah, so basically it's like cocaine. Get hooked and it's hard to let go huh?
lol not really, I just enjoy the game, as long as I always play on free times it's not bad, like weekends for example, it's not like when I was in college and I could stay till 3am playing, nowadays with work and the different assigments out of town I'm just thankful I can get to play sometimes, for example tomorrow I won't be here vs ph unless something doesn't come up tomorrow
Well, something you mentioned to me before, it seems almost every week there are a lot of PF players in the cam tourney, is there anything provoking that or is it strictly for the double points?
well that goes back from season 2 actually, we always got accused of aa back then and there was no way to really prove we were legit. Which is why we strongly supported the cam idea for the first moment and when it was inserted in the big league tour in season 3, we did have some points to prove, as we were considered aimers everywhere. We have now won the blt 3 times in a row, 2 of those on cam, so I think we've proved our legitimacy so far, but it doesn't end there. Just because we've proved we're legit doesn't mean we can't download some lame program to help us play better in the game, right?... so I think it's mostly about proving we're legit and our players can actually enjoy the game not having to worry whether they're gonna be accused or not. The double points thing is actually a plus for us and of course, 2 is better than 1 :) lol.
Yeah and the whole ivey thing last year proves one of the points you just made.
yes exactly, I still don't understand why he went and downloaded aa, but he used the excuse that he simply wanted to win... well look at it this way, we all want to win so who's gonna say I can't download aa tomorrow? just because my name is luis doesn't mean I can't do it, which is why I always play on cam whenever I'm asked. Doesn't matter how much you've proved to be legit, if all those people have managed to get an aimer program, it means everyone can get it.
Now, this marks the first season that PoolFiction and PoolFighters aren't in the same conference and won't meet potentially until the World Series. Will you miss them at all? And also, is there anything now that's stopping PF from getting to the big stage this time around?
lol figured you would ask that... to be honest we didn't do that bad vs pfn, we beat them in regular season 3 and 4... BUT lol they pounded us in playoffs and of course, those wins actually count... but when I think of the ways we've lost to them well, you gotta admit we did have some bad luck on our side. Season 2 I failed to show up, judgerob was timed out, danny scratched on 8... season 3 we lost on the very last shot, I still remember how that cue kept rolling and rolling till it scratched, that was a heartbreaker. And last season I didn't show up either (out of town on business) and we lost on timer as I was told... I mean it really sucked. But can't take away pfn's credit for those wins... they did the little things that we failed to do and that's why they won those 3 games, and I'm sure we have learned a lot by playing such an organized and very tight team altogether. Now the road to world series, there are other leagues that will of course try to stop us on our way there... but for the most part we just gotta keep doing our thing, getting the wins to make it to playoffs and when that time comes, that's a whole new ball game and we will need our best gunners to show up if we really want to make it that far...But we need to make it to playoffs first and that's one of our main goals just for now, when playoffs time come (if we make it) then I'll worry about that.
Who's the one person you respect the most in MLP?
the one person I respect the most... hmmm wouldn't be fair to mention just one person. I've got great deal of respect for mlp admins, because they've always been supportive towards me, but of course I do have to mention kayla and jeff, because our friendship goes way back and they were there for me when things got rough at times. I respect their friendship and most of all their sense of fairness, sometimes we got into arguements because we had different views about certain little things and they always knew how to separate friendship from doing your work properly.
Another single-out question, don't feel too obligated to answer if ya don't wanna. If you could challenge 1 player in MLP to a race to 7, who would it be and why?
lol it's ok I can take that question, I have nothing to prove and unlike the usual idiots out there I don't go from room to room demanding races or taunting players or just saying "nah I own that guy, we played like 100 years ago and I won 2-0"... some stupid remark like that lol. But I think I could want to race more than 1 player, because I think their level of playing are the same, besides I'm nobody to "tell" that guy is better than that other guy... I mean I could be wrong, but to finally answer your question lolol I'd challenge players like bran, tyler, jj, james, corey, jamie...and I'd challenge them for their styles of playing, they all play very smart pool and I'm always ready to learn anything from them. btw, just let me throw this, might not have another chance... I would also race kayla to 7 in dominoes, I think she uses dominoes buddy lolol. I'm serious, she pulls some freaky stuff outta nowhere... but in the end I think I won :P lolol.
This is the most important question of them all: Resident Evil 4 or Silent Hill 4?
lol to be honest, I haven't played any of them, buuuuuuuuut, I was told RE4 kicks some serious ass. But depends pretty much on what you like, I think I'd go for Silent Hill 4 because the previous I've seen are scarier lol.
So would you play either of them? Or would you still stay away from the survival horror genre?
lol I would play them, but I wouldn't play them at nite... yes I'm a sissy lol sue me =))
Alright thanks a lot Lulu, good luck getting over that conference championship hump, the Eagles did it this year maybe it'll work some magic for you guys.
lol thank you man, just let me add one more thing... you never know, another pf'er might not get this chance lol. Just wanted to mention guys like danny, nick, toni, kaz, all the pf admins and all my homies in pf, I thank them for their support and friendship and all my great friends also in tp, peachie, jess, netty, rob (he's a fag though lol jk)... all of them in tp, they know who they are, all of them are winners in my book and kayla and jeff, thanks for putting out wth me all this time lolol and bran and jj *sighs they're gonna love this, but you guys are cool... and please one last thing. Madrid got robbed today from a 3-0 win vs juve, but it's ok 1-0 will be enough, mark my words madrid will conquer the champions league... I hope lolol. Before you close it out, gary, he's always been cool to me and I know we've had our share of discussions, but he's iight, just want him to know that.
So there's the interview with a man who's long deserved one, if you ask me, like I said before, no single player, has ever been as great a guy, both as a player and an actual person, as Luis. Hopefully we'll see him around at least occasionally for Season 6.
