SearchDHW09: BRAT_OK and Enivid after the Finals
Posted by Lasse "Get.Enron" Engen 2 years ago
DreamHack is over for this time, and so is the Starcraft tournament. The playoffs with the top eight players from the qualifications battled it out, and eventually it came down to Enivid and BRAT_OK in the finals, where the Russian was happy to win the best of five series with a 3-0 score.
BRAT_OK came out on top and is the winner of Dreamhack Winter 2009. He will take home 25,000 SEK (~ $3580). Find out what he had to say after the finals by watching the video below. Later we'll also bring you a montage of Starcraft 2 clips we filmed at the Blizzard booth where you were able to try it out.
The finals were finished later than expected so we were unfortunately not able to catch up with Enivid at that time, but had the chance to ask him a few questions online.
How was Dreamhack?
Enivid: It was the first Dreamhack I went to, and I thought it was fun. It was cool to see all the people that I know from Battle.net that I've never met in real life until now. It was also a success for me, so I'm very happy about how the tournament went.
Many of the people watching the game thought you had the upper-hand in both the second and the third game of the finals, what happened?
Enivid: In the second game I thought I was behind the whole game. I did some mistakes that added up. Like when I tried to recall I realized I was 10 energy short. So if I had waited a little while the game could be different. But it was close anyways. Third game I started off good, but he made an epansion I didn't know about so he turned it around as I made carriers but forgot to upgrade +4 interceptors, so they couldn't do enough damage - I guess that made the difference.

What's the reason for your mistakes?
Enivid: I was both tired and hungry, and the whole tournament took a really long time. (all the games of the playoffs were bo5). Nerves may have played a role too, I've never played with so many people watching - you could hear them cheering.
What will you spend your prizemoney on?
Enivid: Right now I don't need to spend them on anything so I will put them in my bank account.
Shoutouts:
Enivid: Shoutouts goes to all of my friends and my fans!
For those of you who missed out the other interviews, here are the interviews with ZpuX and Naugrim, giving their predictions for the playoffs of the tournament, talking about TSL and their thoughts on Starcraft 2. Enjoy!

| gosuuu Yea I was hoping if I yelled loud enough on the stream Enivid would notice he forgot the interceptor upgrade. He played some nice games to get to the finals, and I think had he not made those little mistakes we would have seen a different game. I didn't realize he was 10 energy short, I just assumed it was a fake recall I never realized Brat_OK can't speak english, I guess he could write enough online for me to think he was fluent :P |
| some dry interview with bratok :o |
| Lol Naugrim has never losed to Brat_Ok in Bo3 or Bo5... xD |
| pfff ''tired and hungry'' ''nervous'' the usual excuses from the little nerdlings |
| Did Brat_OK go through the qualifier to participate in this? |
| What is going on at 1:27 on the first video?? |
| low prize;[[[ |
| wow that was the most awkward interview i've ever seen <3 brat ! |
| Great coverage guys! =) Enivid, I hope you'll have a better luck next time! |
| #3 lost u mean? |
| #7 serious? |
| GG! |
| #2 It wasn't that easy believe me :) Big thanks to Enron and his crew for the videos and also to Luin who did a great job with those intros and livestream features! |
Leiz, you werent bad your self.  All did good at DH .. More fun this DH than last. |
| Easy win and money for BRAT_OK. |
| gg's , wtb reps |
| i think naugrim would win fairly easy against brat if he had the chance, unfortunately brat got on the other side of the bracket playing my tvt which wasnt too hard (did my best tho and no cheese^^) and enivid in finals when he hadnt eaten in the entire day i think it was altho i think he got a pretty decent sleep for being at a LAN like dreamhack. but ofcourse brat was in a hotel (i believe) or in his VIP room which makes it that much easier to preform well during the qualier and prepare for the last top8, and not to mention enivids lack of experience on lan and brat has been on many of these events but ye he definatly deserved 1st place (brat that is) but imo i think naugrim would have beaten him. watching the keyboards naugrim was definitely the fastest gamer at dreamhack tho (was rly cool to watch the zvp vs enivid behind his screen) enivid still made a great performance over there when it comes to pvz as it is his strongest mu :p so gj again eni and ggs nau beating me ^^ |
| Morrow why didn't you feed him? |
| i guess i was busy feeding brat to finals and naugrim to 3rd xd |
| #17 No way naugrim could win "fairly easy" against brat. Brat is one step ahead |
| I was fatigued during the finals, meant to say that. I got pretty good sleep considering how hard it is to get it on DH. |
| Yeah, short answers from Brat. Maybe he was stressed, tired or language made it harder. Or maybe thats just who he is. I wanted some longer answers though. |
| #23 I think all of that played a role :P It was around 2 am (I think), and he'd been playing bw since the morning, and the language barrier made it harder ofcourse. He seems so happy when he answers the question about Dreamhack :))) |
| I think Brat just don't know english, that's why he used translater It looks like Raistlin never do the interview before. Some curious situation, he didn't know what he should do, or say. But it is great work! Respect! |
| #7 +1 #11 fing serious :O |
| Brat_OK The Best!! :D |
| #25 ur english isnt to good either:) and watch the interviews with zpux and naugrim, they are alot better;) |
| I was expecting better coverage, here at the home of the foreign StarCraft . I was lacking results in news, not everyone is looking for them in gosubet, the last news like this was in saturday's morning. It was slightly updated, but nothing like second round etc. came up. |
| #17 Would Envind win fairly easy if he had the chance? Did they not play on the same terms? It's brat_ok fault that envid didnt eat on the whole day and not getting the beauty sleep? xD, he lost cuz he was playing worse than brat_ok, end of story! |
| interview with brat_ok. no. yes. no. thank you. |
| ^ :D:D:D:DDD |
| #25 There was nothing he could ask that would give him better answers in that situation. I even cut out parts of the interview. This interview is more of a way to show how BRAT_OK felt after the tournament, and we can see his happy face, so I don't think it matters if there were just yes and no answers like #31 points out. It also had to be done very fast, it was late at night, BRAT_OK and his manager were stressed out to find their things which had been locked in a room, same with our equipment so I was running around to find a security guard who could unlock the doors so we could get our equipment for the interview :P #29, we were responsible of both the SC and the DotA tournament so not much time to do the coverage at the same time the same way we usually do it, so the gosubets took care of the results. And ofcourse the blog. #30 Enivid didn't use that as an excuse, but there were some sloppy mistakes that he wouldn't have done at another time :) As he said, he's happy he came second, it was a success to him. |
| Good coverup (except for that brat_ok interview xD) no-one's to blame though |
| #28 I know that, i'm studying it just one year. And my post it's not hitting, I just told what i noticed. Somebody can be offended, and somebody can learn from mistakes. I prefer to learn #33 I understand that, as i said higher I say what i see |
| Great cover :D Gj Brat |
BRAT_OK <3  |
| Anyway gratz morrow and enivid and all the other swedes! and congrats brat_ok! for winning |
| i think he got a pretty decent sleep for being at a LAN like dreamhack. but ofcourse brat was in a hotel (i believe) or in his VIP room which makes it that much easier to preform well during the qualier and prepare for the last top8, and not to mention enivids lack of experience on lan and brat has been on many of these events geneve watches - hermes watches - hublot watches - patek philippe watches - tudor watches |
