Video: Chat with GeT_RiGhT & hooch

5-12-2009 15:28

We had a short chat with Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund and Dmitry "hooch" Bogdanov, who both are at Arbalet Cup Europe.

The All-Star tournament saw fnatic member Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund play with the all-Swedish roster, losing against .DE.DK.PL. Alesund is on site at Inferno Online, to watch the remaining matches of Groups C and D, plus the All-Star Grand Final. Dmitry "hooch" Bogdanov qualified for the Grand Final in the All-Star tournament by defeating KSU (Korea/Spain/USA).

We caught up with the two, to hear them about the All-Star tournament and the main tournament, check it out below.

Stay tuned for much more content from Arbalet Cup Europe, as we are on site in Stockholm to bring you all of the action.

Suggestion: You should get a standalone microphone. Nice anyway.

Sadly we only got one guy on location, so we do not have time to do sound and video separate and then mix it, it simply takes too long.. Again we work with very limited resources and sadly that will sometimes affect the quality of our work, we of course do not like this anymore than you guys, but we have to be realistic..

Can u ask some of your sponors, to help out with this problem ? That is a minor cash for any of them , but big help for HLTV.org. They can help with buying some good camera, u can give them free advertising etc etc.. Something like that.. its just an example, Im pretty sure that there is a solution.

We don't really have sponsors, we have advertisers who buy ad space, so no we cannot really ask them to help out.. It is fairly simple, new hardware costs a fair bit, but nothing we cannot handle, EXCEPT for the fact that so many events have been in Asia lately, every time an event is in Asia and not in Europe it easily costs us 500€ more to go, this quickly eats any budget we have for extra hardware.. It also does not help that many sites just take our content meaning we do not get as many visitors to our site as we could, and thus sell less ads..

2009-12-05 15:45

2009-12-05 15:48

2009-12-05 15:53

do u guys want them to stop making videos? I don't and i know many others don't either so stop telling them to get a new mic even if it is in a nice way. they do their best to bring u good quality and everything but sadly thats all they can do. ontopic: i lol'd at the "THANK-YOU" at the end it was so random haha

2009-12-05 15:58

Hooch<3

2009-12-05 15:56

The RUSSIAN power can change this

2009-12-05 16:00

gah, almost couldn't stand watching the whole interview. get_right's english is terrible! and it ain't getting better by him saying the word "like" one or more times per sentence...

2009-12-05 16:00

10 replies

Then that's your choice if you don't want to watch it, he's getting better and better after every interview, and after all it's not so easy to speak perfect english when you only have one chance. We understand him and we get his point, that's what we want right?

2009-12-05 16:07

yeah i know. but imo this was way worse than his last interviews. and honest to god, its not that hard .. i mean, even hooch speaks better english! and he is from russia where the population speaking english fluently is extremly low in comparision to sweden as in this case. get_right must try to improve, this was, as previously stated, terrible.

Who gives a shit if his english isn't perfect!? As long as you understand him it doesn't matter -.- And if you had trouble understanding him your a fucking retard.

Don't need to be so hostile but yeah, I do agree with you. As long as we can understand him, it's good enough.

2009-12-05 20:33

i wouldn't given a shit if his english wasn't perfect, like hooch's for example. it's not perfect but it's good enough, while get_right's english on the other hand is mostly based on repeating the word "like" as many times as possible. and i, the viewer, find that annoying. everyone is entitled their own opinion, aren't they?

2009-12-06 16:01

Yeah I get what you're saying, but when you get interviewed you're gonna be nervous and you can't focus 100% on what you're saying. I'm sure he tries his best and atleast I understand what he says.

2009-12-06 14:06

yeah sure, i do understand him and that's the important side of this matter. however i really do think he should do something to improve it at least one level, especially if he is doing this much interviews.

To some people learning or speaking new languages are harder than to other, so yeah it might be hard for him. :O

yeah i know, but that just means that he have to try harder! i mean, get_right is the biggest face of fnatic(the worlds best csteam and perhaps the worlds best esport organisation as well) outwards at these days...

2009-12-06 17:20

that english is very fine.

2009-12-08 13:42

They have a nice english accent! Especially nixon :D

2009-12-05 18:22

hooch speaks surprisingly good english. get_right needs to stop with the likes, seriously, it's ridiculous.

2009-12-05 19:35

2009-12-08 12:59

I turned the interview after GeT_RiGhT had said 6 words and used "like" three times.. And btw, what is wrong with the sound? I find it really good, there's no problem at all hearing what they're saying?
