Disclaimer: If you don't know what I'm writing about in this blog entry, please read this first. It was a tribute to one of my favorite players ever. The following is just something that happened tonight with regards to my GitzZz` blog.

Oh my god! I got a banana grin right here. Smiling from ear to ear!!! YEAH!

I joined our clan-channel on IRC this evening only to be contacted by frodo. He pasted a comment by a player who joined our channel.
[18:13] <@frodo> * gitz (~gitz@dslb-188-105-201-029.pools.arcor-ip.net) has joined #JallaHabbibbi
[18:13] <@frodo> <gitz> is ionize here by now ?
[18:13] <@frodo> fyi

I was kind of baffled at the start, but thought "well, wait and see what happens".

Just about half an hour ago I received a query by gitz and it turned out it was actually Christian Hoeck himself. We had a little chat for half an hour in which we talked about our gaming life and stuff in general. It started like this:
+ Show Spoiler +
[21:45] <gitz> wollte dir nur gratulieren zu deinem super blog ;D
[21:45] <gitz> du weisst mehr über mich als ich selbst =)
[21:45] <io^spl> danke
[21:45] <gitz> zockste noch ut ?
[21:45] <io^spl> bahaha als ob das so wäre. aber ich fühle mich geschmeichelt!

Translation: G: Just wanted to congratulate you on your nice blog ;D
G: You know more about me than myself =)
io: thanks
G: Do you play UT?
io: bahaha as if [I know so much about you], but I feel flattered.


I feel really happy right now. Not only did Christian think I did a good job, but we actually had this nice little chat. I can't deny that I always was a admirer of him as a player, so talking to him as a private person was really great.

I just love video games, what's your excuse?

GitzZz is surely one the best e-sports ever had. I remember watching him on DE-Ironic, comboing in the smallest space possible while jumping in circles around his opponent...good times. Such a mannered guy, too.

@surfinbird1 Actually I didn't ask him, so I don't quite know. Should ask him the next time around.

gitz is a nice guy.
i remember when ut2003 came out and i was still playing ut99 mainly because i hated the shieldgun.
but then the time came to make the switch and i entered #ut.duell to find a 1on1.
so i sent out my message and a query opened, i looked at the name and was like WTF.
as you can probably tell by now gitz qryd me and wanted to play even tho i told him its my first game. he proceeded to kick my ass like 23-1 on campgrounds and was just being super nice.
and i had been a gitz fanboy since i saw a demo of him crushing mtw|horny 15:0 on deck (even before his shuuk time, sadly i cant remember which clan he was on.. ISF? something like that).

later on when i actually got good at the game our clans trained together quite often (sadly i think by then gitz didnt play much of tdm/ut anymore and just helped out from time to time)..
but when he played he always was a scholar and a gentleman
