Up and Coming: Zerg

[s]gg_tour[/s]

The time is here again for a GosuGamers Tournament. This time it's also a 16man invite tournament but not exactly like The Ace. The concept this time is high skill, but not the highest profile in the BroodWar community.

This time we have deliberately avoided inviting players who are really well known in the community to try and allow someone else their time in the spotlight, and hopefully discover a star in the progress. The tournament will be played on Saturday 15th at 18:00 CET and will be best of 3 single elimination with a best of 5 final.

We've previously introduced the Terran and Protoss players, plus 1 racepicker. The final few are the Zerg, and here they are:

Poland mRv.Hullah

Krzysztof Sazon, 20, Zary/Poland

So I saw you did really well in the ToT tournament. How are you expecting to do further in that tournament?
Yes, I didn't really expect, that I would win with so many great players. Now, after losing to SEn I will play with Testie/Mondragon and later, if I manage to win with the winner from this pair, A2/Ex/White-Ra. It will be very hard.

And in this tournament on saturday?
I look forward to playing in this tournament, because there are many very good and maybe not well-known invited players. I think that each of them can win, and each will do his best to show himself from the best side.

That was the idea . Anyways, what's your best/favorite matchup?
I think that it is ZvZ, because I like it very much, since I have started to play StarCraft

ZvZ? That's unusual. Who do you usually like to practice/play with?
Hm, this is very hard question, because nowadays I practice only on op tot) and I have such a luck, that I play only with p or t users In the past I used to play with my old teammate SF)Odyn.

Your opponent in round 1 is Australia ExistenT, have you ever played with him?
No, I haven't played with him yet. I saw him winning some matches in GosuBet so I suppose, that he is very good and he has nice pvz

I guess that's it. Anything else you want to say?
Thx and greetings for all friends and readers.

What do you think about this tournament? Were you surprised to have been invited?
The tournament sounds like it will be fun & interesting. Yes, I was suprised to be invited to this event.

Recently, you were casted on WGT Radio during the first week of WGTCL against DkH.muh. What did you think of your opponent? Did you enjoy having your match shoutcasted?
DkH.Muh is a very good protoss user, and yes I enjoyed having our matchs shoutcasted.

There are many other skilled zerg users in this tournament including mRv.Hullah, HeRoS)OctZerg, uG-ALF-vc, and your current teammate rS.LzGaMeR. Have you practiced with any of these players before? Any opinions about them?
I haven't practiced with anyone of those zerg players really, except I played HeRoS)OctZerg once before

Your opponent in round 1 is 3D.Demich. He mentioned in his interview that he has played you once before and he won. Do you remember this game well? If so, how did it go? What do you think your chances are against him now?
I don't remember playing this guy, but I guess we both have equal chance in this match.

Thanks for the interview. Anything else you would like to say?
Sure, no comments.

Jacob Winstead , 20 years old, and i live in Louisiana USA~

What do you think about this tournament? Were you surprised to have been invited?
I think this Tourney is a Great idea for the fact it gives alot of Other not so known Gosu's to bring what they got to the Table.. and yes i was very shocked to be invited to this tourney.. i am not very well known outside of the USA, but maybe that will change who know's?

How long have you been playing SC:BW and how many games on average do you play each day? WGT/PGT high?
I been playing SC:BW for about.. 4 and half years... yet for the first 2 years i played BGH UMS and FASTEST Maps... i range in games per day.. some days i can play like 25 games in a day.. and then next day i play 3-5 games in a day.. so it just depends. Im A rank WGT high and A rank PGT high.

There are many other skilled zerg users in this tournament including mRv.Hullah, HeRoS)OctZerg, uG-ALF-vc, and your current teammate rS.Vanilla. Have you practiced with any of these players before? Any opinions about them?
I have yet to play any of those gamers except.. rS.vanilla a few games, but octzerg I've seen play.. very good gamer ..just yet to play vs. him

Your opponent in round 1 is iG.StarClan. What do you think your chances are against him?
iG.starclan will be one of my hardest opponents. For the fact im weakest vs. terran but... maybe i can pull it off with a little luck, and just the right timeing. I would say i have a 50-50% chance of winning lol ^^

Thanks for the interview. Anything else you would like to say?

Ukraine aFz-ALF-uG

Oleksandr Yatsenko, 17, Ukraine -> Kiev

Now you've played in quite a few ggnet tournaments and even qualified for the kickoff tour final if i remember correctly. What do you think about this tournament idea? not the usual very well known players, but high skill
Sure great idea. You give a chance for young players to show themselves. And such champs stimulate players to play harder and make thier skill higher.

Who do you think will be the ones to go far? And how do you think you'll do vs PredY in round 1?
Most of the players are well known, in contrast to me and I think the most skilled are Demich, Starclan, Predy,OctoberZerg... My zvt is worst between all my match ups, but I hope I`ll show really gg vs Predy. I`ll try to do my best , and I hope my fellow players do too.

Who do you usually play with/practice with?
I have exams after a month so I haven't much time to train a lot with someone, but on weekends I`ll try to stay in good form playing on pgt. But sure there are some guys i prefere to play with: its my partners in uG and aFz, especially MannerToss.

Thanks for the interview. anything else you want to say?
GL all! I hope it`ll be a really cool tournament with a lot of wonderful games!
