Templars of Twilight continued their Korean clanwar rampage yesterday, facing [Name]. This proved to be a war ToT couldn't win, losing 3-5. However it was close, the games ending in 7-10. GosuGamers has talked to the leader and one of the three who won a match in this clanwar - Mondragon!
Sunday evenings has now, for the last couple of weeks, meant a top notch clanwar between Templars of Twilight and a top Korean clan. This time the opponents were [Name], which proved to be a tad too hard for Templars of Twilight too defeat. The games ended in 7-10 which showed that they still are comparable. Mondragon, SEn and Twisted (picture) were the three players from ToT to win, and we have talked to one of them. The front man figure for ToT - Mondragon!

ToT's clanwar against Name ended in a loss for you. How does it feel?
- That's fine. :P
You gave them quite a match with 7-10 in games. Were there any special player in your lineup that
impressed you greatly?
- Center ShinWha (or however he is called) and FlyHigh impressed me. Especially FlyHigh with his 400 APM
Your opponent were Baka, tell us something about that player, and how the games went.
- I haven't known Baka before my games against him. He is a zerg player and his zerg was quite okay imo. The first game was pretty 'easy' though the second one was very very tough where each of us could have won.
The majority of the voices in the community says that you and Testie are the two that can really compete with the top Koreans, and here we see Testie losing against HitEmUp. Comments on that?
- Well ... Testie hasn't played much lately because he works much at the moment. He's just out of practice and then something like that can happen. Not dramatically at all.
With these three (four?) recent clanwars against top Korean clans, are ToT becoming more and more famous in Korea?
- Well ... I don't know if ToT becomes more famous. I just can say that I get messaged more on west than before. Though uhjoo from tl.net told me that there were forum threads in korean boards where every clanwar of ToT vs a korean clan was discussed.
Have any of your players been asked to come to Korea and play StarCraft for a living? Do you think that these clanwars will help some of the players on the way?
- I didn't hear anyting that a player of ToT got asked to go to Korea for a living. If someone of us really considers to go to Korea to become a progamer, those clanwars may help, but the only significant argument is skill.
Do you believe that any of the players have enough skill to do it?
- MAYBE 2 or 3 could compete in korea, at least a bit.
Who? ;)
- No comment :D
Next up for ToT is a rematch against POS. Do you believe they will show up with a different lineup?
JulyZerg maybe?
- They will defintely show up with another lineup because there are seven 1on1s now. Therefore they need at least 2 more players :P I really hope that July will show up - would be awesome.
Will you be facing Hexatron DreamTeam soon again?
- I don't think so. Unfortunately there are some intricacies
What kind of complications?
- It's not worth to be explained in public.
Okay. Well, thank you very much for this interview, and good luck on Sunday!
Thanks, bye.
