GotFrag got a chance to speak with Khalid "Ooi" Althani, a member of the Qatar royal family, about his experience at the 2008 MLG Orlando WoW tournament
Tell us a little about yourself and where you're from.
My name is Khalid Althani (char name Ooi), played with my brother Abdulaziz Althani(Char name Resiliance) we are from Qatar, this is our first time attending a wow tourny , and we got to meet alot of our wow friends, it was worth the trip coming here.
"...we got to meet alot of our wow friends, it was worth the trip coming here."
Whats your home server, what battlegroup do you participate in?
Was in Frostwolf Server Bloodlust battlegroup, recently transferred to Maelstrom Server Shadowburn battle group.
Justin Dalton is an American on your team, how did that come about? How did you meet him, how long have you played together? Does the distance ever create obstacles?
We just met each other on Frostwolf and we have played together for about one year.
What is your history in WoW? Any previous tournament appearances, any accomplishments online that you are known for?
We have been playing wow since the beta and this is our 1st tournament. We had the highest rating for shammy warlock in WoW. killthozad had the best pally in full pvp gear, the other 2 that were ahead of him had full sun well gear. martyr was on frostwolf known as resiliance and he hit gladiator in 3v3 rmp. Myself and killthozad hit gladiator in 2v2 he ran with a warrior named shaka, I ran with with lck.
What sort of community does WoW have in Qatar? Do many people play? Are there other PC games that have a large following, and do you yourself participate in any others?
The main people that play wow in Qatar are our cousins, there are a few internet cafes with wow, most popular games in Qatar are wow, battlefield, counterstrike, and halo.
How does the competitive LAN scene in the United States compare to that of your own country?
We don't have anything like this in Qatar.
What do you feel is your strongest setup in 3v3? Do you like to switch it up and counter your opponent, or do you lean more towards sticking with a single setup.
I prefer pally shammy warrior and and I like to stick with that set up WINDFURY! sword proc BLEH dead
