VVV’s cubed has finally come out with his frag video tribute to former CoD eSport legend rob-wiz. We’ve blogged about Rob for a very long time as he was and is an FPS eSport magician. It’s a compilation of some of Rob’s best moves both here in the North America and in Europe.
The video has some quality shots. Watch especially for Rob’s famed Deagle shots.
And now, without further ado: rob-wiz, the Canadian Sensation
I had the occasion to talk to Rob when the movie came out and he had the following to say:
BS: Yo Rob, what are you up to these days?
rob-wiz: I’m just working nowadays. But looking to go back to school and i havent been following eSports lately. Sometimes sc2. But i’m outta the loop.
BS: No fps at all?
rob-wiz: Nope. Games in general havent been fun to me lately.
BS: I heard that CS is getting a face lift. Interested?
rob-wiz: Ya, I saw some of CSGO and didnt really like what I saw but I’ll have to look into it some more.
BS: I’ve known you now a long time and asked you a lot of questions over the years, but I don’t think I ever asked you how you got your tags?
rob-wiz: I used to go to an internet cafe called net 24 way back in the early CS days, and there used to be this guy that played there who used the name mr. wizard, who was f***** amazing (at least i thought he was at the time) and I stole it. I used mr. wizard when i started playing cod (cod:uo), eventually i started hating the name and switched it to wizard, but that name was taken, then i switched to rob, and that was taken, so i made it robwiz, but just incase that was somehow taken i made it rob-wiz, cause no one would ever be clever enough to put a dash in there.
In his time, there weren’t too many more clever in FPS eSports than rob-wiz.
The video above showed Rob’s skills through his eyes. Now take a look at what it would be like to go up against him. This is a vid I compiled of me and former BASH CoD4 pubber eXplicit! going up against Rob. The vid is taken from OUR perspective. It’s not pretty…we get it handed to us.
