theSGL.com interviews HLTV.org

8-9-2008 13:24

UK's leading esports website, theSGL.com has released an exclusive interview with HLTV.org.

HLTV.org has been around for almost 8 years now, since 2001. We have grown and expanded our services and developed global recognition over the years.

theSGL.com recently asked one of our founding members to conduct an exclusive interview. Martin Rosenbæk took some time to answer some of Laurence "Ecto" Mitchell's questions.

The original concept for HLTV.org was a central location to gather HLTV ips. HLTV was everywhere, Counter-Strike games were being broadcast everyday, but no one was tuning in.

The interview is both interesting and informing. It covers how HLTV.org has progressed, where its headed and what our plans are. It also looks at our views where the Counter-Strike, and esports, scenes are heading.

HLTV.org is now much more than just HLTV servers, we have a huge community. We just show people what they want to see. I think the next step for us is to improve the spectators experience, perhaps by shoutcast or something like that.

Therefore I would insist that this is a must-read interview and it can be found here.

Haha, nice answers Martin :)

I had to use ctrl+gray_plus to make the font bigger and blocking images in order to read it. Keep the good work hltv.org staff.

Next time I see Nomad at ESWC I'm going to have to just smile, pat him on the shoulder and draw on his face. he's clearly just a teddy in a suit. Hope the Interview was a good read, If anyone is interested a new one goes up every Sunday about all and everything. <3 HLTV.org - Ecto

Iv never ever experienced Nomad as an evil or mean person, a CRAZY SICKLE KILLS EVERYBODY WHO STANDS AGAINST HIM DICTATOR perhaps. But not evil or mean. ;) Good read Martin
