sGPL: Interviews

[s]sgpl[/s] With less then a week left until the sGPL kickoff we've hunted down a few players and questioned them about their thoughts on sGPL. First out we have;
Germany ToT)Mondragon(
Norway Eriador[pG]
Sweden AyreZ

Other than their thoughts on the sGPL we've also questioned them about maps, race, opponents, league-system and how they think they'll do in the league.
Enjoy !


GioM vs Eriador[pG]
Well first of all, the usual stuff : Name/Age/Sex/Location

- Eivind Leknes / 19 / male i guess / Trondheim, Norway

Well, in exactly 1 week the first games of the sGPL will take place, what do you think about the invited players?

- Oh I think most seem like rather nice players, there's one guy I don't know who is (that Ayrez) guy and another one is yet to be announced.
But everyone else are very good players, should be many nice games =]
And im sure both ayrez and whoever you pick for the last two spots will also be very good, because well, everyone else are so why wouldn't they be ;)

You may have noticed that one particular "to be announced player" is actually in your group ! Who should be chosen in your opinion ?

- Oh, hehehe.

Just skillwise, who deserves it most in ur opinion ?

- Legionnaire would be a mad good option

Anyone else?

- Other options could be like, nazgul, which would be good for me since I've won against him in tournaments, but he's probably too busy :(

Unluckily Nazgul didnt want to participate

- Or feeling too busy, hehe

Anyhow, How are your feelings about your group? Any chances of succeeding there ? And is there anyone you are particularly looking forward to play against?

- I'm expecting to win vs socke ; I have a good record against him in both tournaments and practice games, it's usually close though, I remember last time we played a best of 3 in a tourney the games lasted almost 2 hours added up, it was really cool. I've actually never 1on1'ed trek, I think he's a player somewhat similar to myself (cheese! ;) ) so those games can go either way. And regarding to be announced im obviously unable to say how I think I will do against that player.

So we can expect some hot games there I guess

- I'm hoping NOT for leg tho, cause he tends to make sitting down painful

Haha. Well, thoughts about the map-pool?

- Hmm all the maps are pretty good I think, they might be a bit boring actually, but balance wise they're fine. Oh vertigo is gay, but the rest are cool

Which race do you play with?

- I'll be playing random in every single game

Ah thats nice, should be interesting

- Yeah that's like "me" and that makes everything more unpredictable

Ok well thats it for now, any shout outs ?

- All my homies in pG yeeee

well I wish you GL to all ur sGPL games, and we'll see you on monday then

- Ok, cya !

Cya !


GioM vs ToT)Mondragon(

Hellow Mondragon!

- Hi!

Name /Age /Sex /Loaction?

- Christoph/16/Male/Nuremberg - Germany

What do you think about the invited players ? And what about the league's system in general?

- The invited players are really good chosen by the admins and the system looks pretty good

Ok, so no player u consider as an underdog?

- No, I dont

How are your feelings about your group? Any chances of succeeding there ? And is there anyone you are particulary looking forward to play against or someone you fear ?

- Well, I think i can advance in my group, but it will be hard, and I dont want to play vs Willet =D

Hehe, you have a bad record against willet ? or is he just a scary guy ?

- Hehe no, i think it is balanced, but i like willi so much, so i cant win vs him

So if it should come to a Mondragon vs Willet match you would just let him win?

- Hehe, no I wont ...

Your thoughts about the map pool ? I heard ur not totally satisfied ?


- Yeah, some maps look very battered ... they are played in every tournament. maps like Plains to Hill, Nostalgia and Vertigo.

So what map would you like to see instead of those?

- Blade Storm, Enter The Dragon e.g.

Well thats all for today, any shout outs?

- Yeah, some greetings to ToTs and all my friends :)

Thank you for the interview

- np!

bye!

- Seeya monday, bye bye!

Well, in aproximitly 1 week the first games of the sGPL will take place,
what do you think about the invited players?


- I think that's well choosen players. many others sure fit in, but i'm sure that ther're going to be some gGs

How are your feelings about your group? Any chances of succeeding there ? And is there anyone you are particularly looking forward to play against?

- My group is pretty balanced i think. my goal is to get a 1st or a 2nd place in my group. And ya i'm really looking forward to meet ToT)Arch(, i hope it'll be some intressting games.

Thoughts about the map-pool?

- The map pool is good. nothing against it

Which race will you play with?

- Im going to use zerg all the way

You are unknown to many people, yet very skilled. Where have you been hiding?

- Hm i have been at west server since like 1 year ago. i don't play many tours or ladders, but i do enjoy gGs --;

How do you cope with the pressure from all the commotion around you, e.g. you've recived a good amont of negative comments.

- I don't feel any pressure from the public, only from myself. My goal is to get through the first round, then im satisfied.

Ok well thats it for now, any shout outs ?
