What's the best way to use the M14 at close range, and what's the best way to use it at long range?

Close range = sit and spray. Range = 1 shot bursts ducking. If you use silenced you can also spray at range if you know the recoil well.

What's the best way to use the AK at close range, and what's the best way to use it at long range?

Close range = sit and spray. Range = either 1 shot bursts if you are ducking, or 2 shot bursts if you are strafing.

What sensitivity do you use and what do you think I should use?

I use 1.2. I think you should use a sensitivity somewhere between 1 and 2 because it's low, and it's much easier to hit on distance with a low sensitivity.

What resolution do you use and what do you think I should use?

I use 640. I think 640 is the best resolution for Counter-Strike because it gives by far the best feel for the game. It feels as if you have the best control of the game in 640

Do you play with the rifle to the left or to the right?

To the right, it feels natural when you are righthanded in real life.

Do you play 1on1?

No I only play 5vs5 and public.

How important do you think it is that you have the "right" hardware. Quality of your headphones and mouse, mousing surfaces etc.

It is super-important, my headphones broke last week so I had to play with 25 kr headphones - it was like a completely different game. Without the correct mouse and mousepad you lose a big part of your aim.

Who do you think is the best CS player in the world?

Potti, he has been so since Beta 6.5 and is more or less great at all parts of the game

What advice except playing a lot could you give to other players trying to improve their skill? In a cw/pcw and while playing public?

On public try to practice positions and maps that you use in matches, and on pcw's it's all about practicing to get the teamwork good, that's the most important thing.

When you have installed CS, do you change anything in your config?

Yeah my controls, sensitivity and other settings in the CPL gui.

How much money have you earned on all the CPL tournaments, and what have you/will you buy for all the money?

I've made about $25'000. I've gone on a trip, and bought way too much clothes for that money. The rest I'm saving for a car.

Do you aim for the head?

No the feet... Nah but of course I aim for the head. :)
