Started out badWhen he first arrived at Inferno Online in Stockholm, it didn't work out at all. Misclicks, pressing the wrong buttons. But once the tournament started, things changed. "I calmed down a whole lot and started playing very good." he explains. He further adds that he found zen.
"I think I will play better than I did in Stockholm."
Eriador explains that he will most likely play better in San Fransisco than he did in Stockholm. This because he will be the underdog once he gets to the USA, and that he's not in the same pressure. In the end of the interview, he adds: "I will play with a viking helmet at WCG finals, just so you know.".
"I play better when there's a prize involved."
Further down in the interview, Eriador talks about his recent » Face 2 Face game, where he won versus
Clawson. However, Eriador states that those games weren't that exciting. He believes that exhibition games like F2F are more important for the upcoming and new players. He himself says that he plays a lot better when there's a prize involved."Non-Korea lacks in good Zerg players"
A very interesting subject they talk about is that Europe and USA lack many good zerg players. They came in to the subject by talking about
