Gaz

Gaz is a British QW player, admin and commentator.

Started playing QW in 1999 and played for various UK clans before settling with The Shadow Warriors (TSW) in late '99. Played on 56k connection throughout his time with TSW, eventually playing in Division 1 of the UKCL and playing a small part in TSW's 3rd place finish in the final season.

After a break of around 2 years, gaz returned to QW as an LPB for the first time with Funky International Pirate Superstars (FIPS), a clan made-up of former members of UK Clans StrikeForce, Kamikaze Telefraggers and TSW. He played 2 seasons of NQR with FIPS, before the clan folded in the summer of 2004. gaz then joined Osams, and played with them during NQR seasons 7, 8 and 9, plus EQL seasons 1, 2 and 3.

He gained fame within the QW community for his work as an NQR admin, and as a TeamSpeak commentator with the Quakeworld.nu team. He commentated on the NQR6, 7, 8 and 9 finals, and produced his best commentary when working alongside fellow-Brit HangTime, and Osams teammate Xerial. gaz and Xerial also commentated on the QHLAN finals in January 2005, where they were both attendees.

gaz retired from QW after EQL3, and played his last game in May 2006. He made a comeback in late 2009, playing with Osams in EQL season 10 division 3.
