Video: Pre-EM4 with Sunde
By: Nix0n
Time: 2010-03-01 01:00

In our pre-coverage for Extreme Masters IV World Championship Finals, we sat down with Christoffer "Sunde" Sunde at HKLAN to talk about his trip abroad the last few months and a lot more about the tournament next week.

Sunde returned shortly after mTw had just attended the Extreme Masters IV European Championship Finals, seeing his team qualify for the World Championship Finals. We sat down with the mTw-sniper at HKLAN, to hear about his time in South American, the eagerness to play again, the preparations for the World Championship Finals and much more.



Stay tuned for more pre-interviews with players attending the Extreme Masters IV World Championship Finals, which kicks off on Tuesday next week. HLTV.org will be on site during the entire tournament, to bring you top-notch coverage from the tournament.

The "Get a better microphone" comments is now a thing of the past.

Could be even better if it wasn't because of Canons retarded firmware that does not allow disabling of automatic gain control..

very nice interview indeed.
one thing bothers me though: the interviewer is not loud enough at times, perhaps you could use subtitles for the questions, especially as the interviewer seemed to stumble across certain words.
The overall quality has improved greatly and the purchase was worth it!

my fault then, or my laptop's speakers =)
2010-02-28 20:41:42
he is quite quiet compared to sunde. you can't put the volume too high or sunde is too loud, but when i put it lower i can only hear sunde, and not really nix :/

Same as Nomad, I can tell the difference but not like its a problem. I will test something new in Hannover.

Are you quite far from the mic when talking to him?

Maybe some "distance tests" would give some hints of "fixing" it ;)

It is a directional microphone, Nix is behind/besides it, Sunde in front, but really, he is totally clear here..

I did not meant to state it as a problem, just as Nix has done, but to see if that could be the "source" of the difference Nix himself is aware of, clear - less clear ;)

As for the firmware stuff you mentioned previously, it does not seem that Canon are much in a hurry to fix this issue according to some random messages I have read (besides using a hacked firmware, not yet available though I would not be sure if you would "risk" the cam that easily, it seems that a "walk-around" would be to "inject a signal in one channel to fool it (the AGC)".

Yea it is really stupid, I bet they could easily do a firmware to fix it.. Apparently the 5D has the exact same issue.. Stupid of canon.. Anyways it can be cleaned up reasonably well, so it isn't a huge deal..

Just behind the mic/cam.

Then, taking into account the directional mic, it seems that this might be the "issue".

Well naturally, except for the fact that some can hear him just fine, I think it has more to do with peoples crazy audio setups tbh.. :)

Well, as said previously, I hear him too fine but there is a noticeable difference between how you can hear Sunde and you hear Nix :)

More than the weird or crazy setups I presume it is a matter of crazy "standards", f.e. comments on latest Heaton's video.
2010-03-01 19:47:25
Waiting for pov's !!!
2010-02-28 20:39:48
I dont belive that stuff, I still belive that he was tired of cs, he team was under-performing. Nice have him back dough.

Just like my HD channels...

Sunde is one of the few genuine guys in the CS-scene who doesn't think he's some kind of god just because he is a professional gamer, like some (or most) guys do.

Good interview and good answers, thumbs up!
