In an interview with Western Wolves, a new team formed out of the international players of LowLandLions, Alessandro "Stermy" Avallone talks with their journalist Alexander "zauron" Bratyshkin.

Alexander and Alessandro talk about several topics, such as the Ultimate Gaming Championship, where Stermy opens up on some of the games and more, Stermy's Quake Live team, colwn, the state of FPS gaming and much more. Here's a small excerpt:

Given the recent decline of Quake Live, will you be sticking to it, or will you move away to a more eSports potent title?

I will always stick to QuakeLive and I will always try to promote the game. I mean, let’s face it, QuakeLive is the best First person shooter for competitive play out there and it’s an awesome game for the spectators aswell. However the supports and the current state of the scene is just not working in favor of this title now. We had a lot of opportunities, but we failed to deliver – and now we are paying the price. I don’t know if I will switch to a new game now, it’s definitely an option for me at the moment and I’m taking it into consideration because I would like to compete in one last title before ending my career – I’m just waiting for the right opportunity.
