1How was your trip to Seattle?
- It was decent, couldn't sleep tho, but no real problems occurred. With a stop in Chicago, it was 15 hours all in all.
2Do you get along well with the rest of the Team Germany?
- Yeah, the German team is art! They are all cool guys, and know many of them since before, many of them are qualifying regularly every year!
3We saw two German SC guys play today, Breakdown and Goody. Goody advanced from his group while Breakdown ended third. Surprised of the outcome?
- To be honest, yes i am. I did not expect Goody to advance, but I am very happy that he did. A bit upset of Breakdown though, never expected that.
4You're in a killer group, once again, with sAviOr, Testie and ReasoN. Do you think that you have even a slight chance of ending in first place?
- Hmm... Nah, I am very convinced sAviOr is gonna take it anyway. It will be a very very close race for second spot, I consider ReasoN very very strong, and Testie is just Testie, obviously very gosu!
5If you end up in second place, you will eventually have to play Draco, considered by many your nemesis to take the top position (not including the Koreans). If you should meet - how tough will it be?
- Yeah, the group looks tougher than the bracket itself, but still it will be tough after. I think I'm gonna face Androide or so, and then Draco in semifinals eventually if get that far. Draco and me are on the same level I guess, could go either way, and he is a great guy, he would deserve it as much. Being my favorite matchup (ZvP), it's still so damn hard against Draco, he is just the best Protoss around in the non-Korean world! The key factors there will be macro, timing and upgrades.
6How's the WCG venue, if you would compare it to Monza?
- It's much better than Monza, that one was just awful. No off-activities at all here though. And the weather is like the worst one you can expect, it has been raining every day and its fucking cold, I feel like I'm in Scandinavia! Food is awful as well, Americans seriously only know hamburgers. You don't get any other food here.
7Going in to this World Cyber Games, would you say you are in better shape and have a better shot in ending in first place than in Monza?
- Yes, my chances are slightly better IF I pass the group. My group this year is definitely tougher, since we got 4 art players, I consider reason VERY better, so we got 4 top notch players!
8What is your take on the map pool? Was it a mistake of WCG to save three maps from last year?
- Bullshit, bullshit and bullshit. They are even using Paranoid Android 1.0. Thats so motherfucking sick, everyone preferes 2.0 and they don't give a damn about it. It's disappointing.
9Lastly, what do you think of the GosuGamers coverage so far?
- I have just checked it, but I am definitely missing more interviews of short comments of gamers and pictures. You are lacking of it! Though your score coverage is as usual very fine!
