Two hours left until the ladder closes, and GosuGamers grabs Peter "Legionnaire" Neate for a questionnaire session on TeamLiquid StarLeague.
1
You're currently in a 40th position, after dusts with top players in the ladder. What is your opinion on the skill level in the current ladder?
- The skill level nowadays is a lot better than it used to be, particularly in macro, everyone masses so many units now its scary. And fyi, I'm 38th now as I just beat some poor C+ guy for 25 MONSTER points!
2
When signing up, how far did you expect to go?
- I wasn't really sure. I work full time now, and i just didn't know how many games or how much time i'd need to put aside in order to qualify. I knew top 16 was out of my league just because i didn't have the time, so i was always hoping to make the top 48.

What are you doing nowadays, we haven't seen you for a while in the scene?
- After i came back from korea, i finished uni, and fortunately i was accepted into a pretty covetted graduate position. So i'm doing that now, as well as playing low stakes poker on the side.

Any players you have faced on the ladder that you want to raise a warning finger for the upcoming event?
- Somehow i haven't really played too many of the Top 16 players. Probably because they were all A while i was still fighting off the C level people. Boxerz/Creative is pretty solid, kwak has some evil macro, Cloud has some pesky hydras. Other than that i think i've only played brat_ok and that was back at D level. Still i think Mondi has the best chance. I guess i'll be diplomatic and say everyones got a chance so it will be interesting to see what happens. :)

When TeamLiquid StarLeague is over, will you fall back into the shadow and let us all be without KangaroToss? Will we see you in World Cyber Games?
- Australia didn't have Starcraft in the WCG last year, and most likely wont again this year, so I'm afraid so, yes. :(

Anything else before heading to bed?
- a shout out to all of the amazing stuff at TL, and ICCUP who have helped put this amazing event together. I haven't seen so much excitement (and i haven't experienced so much myself) in a long time. Those guys are legends who deffinately dont get the full recognition they deserve.
Also to all of the sc sites who have been reporting on it!
