Ola Feage, welcome back to the competitive AoE scene. First, can you tell me what brought you back after you thought you would retire at the height of your career with winning the last Nations Cup? Then I will continue with a lot of questions for your fans.
- Hey man, sup! Well, it's going to be kind of a big answear: after nations cup I told my team members it was time to stop and become a lawyer (I was studying hard for it so I couldn't keep doing both, had to choose).
I chosed the wrong thing 11. Being a lawyer turned out to be so frustrating that I missed aoc everyday.
One day I was sitting at my car in traffic after a court hearing and I realized that`s not what I want to do for the rest of my life.
1. How old are you?
27
2. Since when do you play Age of Empires 2, have you played Age of Empires 1/3?
I started with 12 years old when I got my first pc from my dad. So damn! 15 years!
I have tested aoe but I really didn't liked. Tried aoe3 for few weeks and also didn't liked either. I tried age of mithology and played the campaign (thought it was really cool back then. It had portuguese dubbing translation, was really cool!) - But never tried to be pro at it... Just played the campaign casually.
Curious fact: years ago we had a big brazilian forum called rts games and when AoM was announced, everyone said aoc would die. AoM died and aoc was still there 11.
Then, they announced age3 and everyone said the same ("look at these graphics man, gg aoc!").
Age3 died, rts br community died (saddly) and aoc is still here 11.
2a) In which clans have you been since then?
My first one was a brazilian clan called Horda. I was Horda_FeAge_RoX 11.
When i got better, Horda was kind of dead so I joined MIB clan, which was a really strong clan back in the days (I think Wrath joined it too at the time).
I joined a clan called Yaga, and played some rts league tournaments with them (Was Yaga_DarkCloud).
After it I'm not really exact on the time and year, but I refounded SlipKn0T Clan with P7agu3. Slip was a really strong tag in Brazil in the past.
Then joined RVK for money and played a tournament with Tim, Chris, Dog. But that didn't really went so well. (Communication was a big problem with Tim).
After it I joined Legion to play WCL with Hani, Alive and Ruso, and after that clans were not such a big deal anymore, so I just keep my Slipkn0t tag.
Avengers, WolfpacK and BAD also happened, but they never even played a big tournament.
2b) How would you describe your playstyle and how much has it changed since you became an experienced player?
I think I'm an agressive player. I changed my playstyle after starting to practise vs Ruso for WCL. He thought me to start laming with these exact words "if you dont lame, you are going to be lamed". After few practise games I started outlaming him and never stoped anymore 11.
I think I'm a agressive player that lames alot. (On nations cup we used to pray for me to get side 11).
3. Which time (year, tournament etc.) did you consider your peak?
I'm pretty sure it was in WCL. I was playing 1x1's all day long.
My problem is inconsistency. I never really used to like playing too many 1x 1's. Always liked playing tg's more, but to be a really top level player 1x1 is a must. Some players are really strong at 1x1's but are kind of bad on tg's. Some tg's players are pretty strong but are bad on 1x1's. If you can mix and be good at the two you are in good hands.
4. What does your Age of Empires nickname mean?
It's short for Feudal Age.
5. Do you stream? What is your stream link?
Yeah! I've been streaming since 2012 11. I'm the 2nd aoc streamer of all time. I remember that a german dude one day came to me saying "hey feage, why dont you try streaming? I am doing it and I think you could do it too!"
I thought it was a crazy idea, becouse back then I had only 1mb upload 11, but I managed to configure it with him and started streaming. It was so hard to configure xsplit and stream aoc that I dunno how we managed (It had something to do with aoc not having window mode).
Nowadays you can just open OBS and check how to stream here in the forum and in 5 mins you can start doing it.
Back then after a while Dreams started streamiong too and he got really sucessfull becouse he had way better quality than mine and also used webcam, which was new thing no one was used to it.
BTW, my link is https://www.twitch.tv/feage
5a) How frequently and at which times do you stream?
I have a schedule on it, so if people are insterested, they can check it out. But on weekdays it's usually 17gmt and no time ti stop.
5b) What is special about your stream, why should it be watched?
This question made me go back and watch some old videos and I think I was way funnier back then. I've used to be more troll, flaming alot and people used to like it 11. I stoped doing that becouse few people complained and told I should stop doing it. But I think I will get back on doing that. It's a stress relief anyway 11. If someone get ofended they can just go watch someone else.
The video I'm talking about is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJKIOOnfY1U
I've used to do videos for Zak's channel back in 2012! 11.
6. Which city do you come from/live in?
Curitiba. I love this city and im lucky to live here. Brazil has some nice cities and Curitiba is definately one of them.
6a) I actually was there, when I was in Brazil in 2014 to change bus. It looked like a clean and modern city. But I was only there so short, didn‘t even have time to look for a Coritiba FC jersey. Can you tell more about the city?
It's one of the best to live in. Really organized, clean... We are having some problems with violence tho. I guess Brazil economy is going to **** becouse bad govermnent so saddly good and big cities are suffering with it. It's still one of the best to live in Brazil for sure.
7. Favourite things:
a) What is your favourite food?
Pancakes 11. I just love it since i'm a kid.
Do you like eating spicy?
Depends on the food honestly. Not too spicy becouse I have skin condition called Rosacea, and if i eat too spicy food I get red 11.
When you were in China, which were the foods you liked the most? (If you don‘t know the names, describe them)
The chicken was pretty good. Chicken and rice. Also one day they served us Shrimp at the hotel and I honestly was amazed by the size of it 11. We don't get these big shrimps here.
Which foods from your home country/region would you recommend?
Churrasco (Barbecue) With caipirinha for sure, and Feijoada (Rice and beans I guess).
I love to eat brigadeiro with my gf too 11. Prob the reason im getting fatty =(
b) What is your favourite colour?
5 for sure.
c) What is your favourite animal?
Dog man! Gotta love dogs. They stay side by side with you even if you are homeless! They just need some love and bit of food and they will protect and love you for the rest of their lives! I ****ing love my dog (and Dogao too).
d) What/where is your favourite place on Earth?
Probably at my house watching film eating brigadeiro with gf and my dog.
e) What is your favourite song at the moment, of all time? (can be top 5)
Linkin Park "In the End".
f) Do you have a favourite sports team? (football, basketball etc.)
Yes. My br team is called Coritiba (2nd division [since this year] sadly). I like Juventus - It's since im a kid because my grandpa was Italian and cheered for it (Go go CR7!).
8. What time do you usually go to sleep? What do you like doing before sleeping?
I have damn insomnia, so I sleep late. Usually around 3 am. I usually watch Netflix or read a book before.
9. Which countries have you visited and where would you like to go to? Why?
I have went several times to Paraguay. Have went to Uruguay and Argentina once. And on the Nations Cup travel I went to Netherlands (loved it, FCKING loved it) and China (Amazing people, amazing culture and beautiful Shanghai).
10. What are your hobbies beside AoE?
I love going to the gym. I like playing Counter Strike too, and watching film with gf 11.
11. Who would you like to meet once, who you have not met? One AoE player and one other person.
I would love to meet Hani. He's one of my oldest friends online and i'm sure it's gona happen one day (saddly I'm not going to Malta with him, Edie, Dog, Iviktorious 24242424).
Outside aoc I would like to meet Angelina Jolie. Now that she's single =D~~ 11. I used to watch tomb raider 200 times when I was a teenager (you probably know why xD).
12. Do you have an AoE idol?
Halen. Used to love watching his record games man! I was so happy I had the opportunity to practise with him, kkab,grunt when they made a comeback!
13. What is your favourite civilisation, map and unit?
Aztecs Arabia will forever be in my heart.
Unit probably those imperial camels 11. They look so classy!
14. Who is your favourite and least favourite 1v1 opponent?
I like playing vs StrayDog. I feel he has a similar crazy style and our games are usually funny.
Don't reaslly have a least favourite player. You cant really choose players 11 or you will end up not playing a single game.
15. Who is your favourite team mate?
Dogao for sure. He is calm, good and smart. Probably one of the best team game players of all time.
16. In the new expansions, what is your favourite new civilisation and unit?
I think Magyars are pretty cool to play. Slavs also have a damn good eco bonus.
Favorite unit so far is arambai. Theuy are so damn strong lol.
17. ECL: The tournament just started, would you
a) predict a placement for ECL?
1st Team Secret 2nd aM. I wish LoS could get to finals tho. Im cheering hard for them.
b) consider joining a team, as you still can be recruited as you did not play for any team so far?
I could. But right now I really dong miss the practise. It`s really boring and frustrating to waste hours and hours practising, testing new strategies etc.
18. Which players from your country do you think will form the A team, if there will be a Nations Cup next summer? It will probably be on WK, which maps would you like to be included apart from Arabia, Nomad, Islands?
Dog, Riut, Miguel and F1re. Altho I'm not sure Dogao will be able to play =(. But if he could this team would win almos sure of it.
Maps I used to like home map style. Few maps with home maps seems good. I',m not a fan of bo7/bo21/bo2223213. I think aoe should be bo3 and bo5 on finals maybe.
Right now I really dont want to see water maps on it. I think wk kind of killed water games becouse of the fireships on feudal.
19. Would you join TyRanT if you were invited?
a) Before Team Secret was formed
No
b) After Team Secret was formed and now play with RiuT, F1Re etc.
Still no. I guess TyRanT will die anyway.
It doesn't really matter to be honest. Tags nowadays are kind of meeh... No one cares about them too much like it used to be in the past.
20. Which 4 players would you like to see forming a team? (can included inactive players)
Matt (Blade), Chris, Slam and Mentalist/Hera. I think this team would be really damn strong.
21. Which 6 / 8 players would you invite for Nili’s Apartment Cup 2?
Carlos Ferdinand, Dracont, Ertug, 8th wonder, Tim and MBL. Becouse I just want to watch the world burn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1111111.
22. In which tournaments would you participate? Master of Islands 2, Master of the Sea (Islands, Team Islands, Baltic, Water Nomad and more), Master of MegaRandom 2 (1v1 or 2v2?), Master of Full Random, a tournament with just new maps that were not included in AoC?
Right now I dont want nothing related to water. I'm finding so boring to play water maps saddly... I would love to play a master of megarandom! That map used to be so fun!
23. If you visit AoEZone and Voobly, is there something you like especially or would like to have improved?
Not that I can think of right now.
24. If you were not in a relationship, and could date anyone, who would it be?
The girl I just saw at my gym yesterday. Damn hot bro! =X
No picture?
25. What would you like to do to make the world better?
I think I already try to do it. Charity is a really important thing that everyone that could should do it. Volunteer work is also really cool, altho its been years I dont do it. (every christmas for example in Brazil there is a thing in post office, where you can get a christmas wish card that poor kids write and help them buying the presents they want). It's these anonymous things you do that make you a better person.
26. Who do you want me to interview and what question would you like me to ask her/him?
I want you to interview Edie and ask him who was the MVP for nations cup 2017 11.
27. Add one more comment or question for me or someone else.
I think the interview was long already 11. Just want to say thank you and cheers for everyone that has read so far 11. =* love u guys.
Thanks a lot for your interview, FeAge. I hope many people will discover and watch you unique and fun stream.
