[M] DamCx - Hi Michael, it's nice to have you for another interview. How are you?
[M] GosWser - I'm doing well!
Great. So, how is life lately?
It's been really good. I've improved a lot there, and have had a good experience inFrance. Practicing on the european ladder is nice as well. Bob is fun to be around :)
Sounds good. Let's talk about the ShoutCraft. You succeeded in qualifying by being in the top 16 of the NA Ladder. How did you feel?
I was expecting to get top 16 on NA without much trouble, so I wasn't that elated to qualify.
Ok. Then, you made is second of your pools. Were you a bit disappointed, or not at all?
I made top 4 which isn't bad at all
Second in my pools didn't matter to me
In group stages advancing in top 2 is all that mattersOk, good philosophy ;)
;)
Now, about the WCS, you were invited, and made it to the Ace Match, on the Ro32. Were you happy, or not at all, given you were the only one with Suppy to win against a Korean?
Not at all
I wanted to win and I didn't succeed. But I think I learned a lot, and I had a hard group.
I just am working to improve my results over a long period of time, over the next year or two I want to improve to be one of the best. I'm not even close to there yet, but you just keep working at it as hard as you can.For the next season, you will be in Challenger League. So, if i understand you well, your goal is to be back ASAP in Premier League?
Yes, hopefully I can make it back through the bracket, if not I will try to advance through groups. I was crushed when I didn't make it this season in groups, and I don't want that to happen again.
About the Acer TeamStory Cup, the news of the day was Karont3 kicked out of the tournament. Any particular thoughts about that?
It's really unfortunate that they were removed. I think some arrangement could have been worked out. Usually teams don't disband until the end of ongoing team leagues though, so this is a tricky situation to deal with.
During the last match of the ATSC in which Millenium was playing, you almost all-killed Mousesport. What a bunch of games! How did it feel?
I wanted the all kill, but I was really happy to take 4 wins. Now I want to do it again. My goal during the second half of the ATC is to be top2 inwins on Millenium. Mouz was one of the teams closest to us in points at the time so it felt especially good to play a large part in our victory against them.
Would you say it was luck or the result of hard training :P ?
The result of hard training! Maddelisk recommended me a build aginst hOpe in the first game and it worked perfectly <3 ! There is obviously always a bit of luck involved as well though.
How are you feeling, with the other members of the team? Who are you the closest to?
Probably either Feast or Forgg. I think Forgg, since we've both been training next to each other for a long time now, and I've been teaching him a bit of english as well.
Well, it seems you are a good teacher enough so ForGG can answer in english to interviews by himself ;) What did you think of the WCS Finals? About ForGG, first, and then, about INnoVation winning with a quick 4-0?
I was really happy to see ForGG make it so far, I think next season he can do just as well. It's about time Innovation won a tournament, right now he is probably the best player in the world. He made TvP look imba in the finals against sOs. I don't know how protoss is supposed to win against him.
What do you think of the results of your teammates, in WCS ?
I think Dayshi and Feast are good enough to make the ro16 or even ro8 of WCS EU, although Feast will have to requalify first. ForGG performed up to his level for sure. Adelscott should be able to qualify for premier as well, lately he is very motivated and has been practicing a lot.
Your next big event will be the DreamHack. What is your mindset, so far?
I think I have a really good shot. Last time the only player I lost to was Jaedong, and that was my weakest matchup. Right now I'm stronger in every matchup than I've been at any point in HOTS so far. I just want to play the best starcraft I can and see how far that will take me.
Now, about the game, one change is actually being tested, it is the Warp Prism's Speed. And there's a thought from David Kim thinking maybe Hellbats are a bit too strong. What do you think of that?
A buff to warp prism speed would make protoss too strong. For how much they cost they already are great units. Hellbats are too strong against terran, and maybe a tiny bit against protoss, but I don't think they are all that great against zerg.
Thank you for your answers. Do you wanna add something for the readers and your fans?
I hope I can do well at dreamhack and other tournaments this month. Thank you for your support!
