About KnOfF

Hey!

So now me and LiiLD.C will start blogging. We will give you replays/vods/pictures and everything else you cant imagine about a professional warcraft 3 player!

First we will introduce ourselves and tell a bit how we started for the people who doesn't know us very well.

So my name is Fredrik Knopf im 19 years old and will turn 20 at the 11 September. I play for Raptor gaming which is an German organization. Together with LiilD.C, ThorZaiN and some of the best German players HLA and TryDying we make one of the best European teams. I played Warcraft for about 4 years now. I started to play warcaft in last class of high-school and I had a friend who learned me playing. He was a pretty good player but never got known. We talked about the game everyday in school and we started to play some Arranged Team(2vs2) together. But then he got tired of me making us lose all the time and he told me to start play solo and there we go. I made one account then one more and another one and always wanted to get better stats than the old account. I didn't really know you could play at GG-client this time which is a program most players use today because of the good ping. I was playing for myself mostly and didnt really have any friends at warcraft. Then one day I heard about a internet cup called incup(today its like Zotac which will be running tomorrow, so sign up all!). Which many of the best European players played every sunday. I thought of it and wanted to try it out. I didn't stand lot of a chance at this time and lost every first or second round. But I made better and better and then one day I made the breakthrough which was my game against the well known 4K.Grubby. The game was at Treasure Island. And he played the normal farseer firelord at this time with kodos and a towerrush. I made good in early game and didnt lose any grunts and could creep my blade to level 2. I just got my shadowhunter out in time and because he push me with towers wards will do the most damage at this time. I manged to defend against the towerrush and I win the game.
After this people where asking each other, who is this knoff? And then I got an offer from Prae, which was team pgs and ngize for a while.



Picture from dreamhack winter 2005. This time I was playing in team Tdon with players like AntWarrior (oldschool player, played in fnatic at once) Tdon-Vanilla and some other Swedish amateurs like Bulliz and Xine.
