DHW04: Interview with JessE

[s]interview[/s]

After a couple of hours, SG.com grabbed hold of the tournament winner - Jens "JessE" Sjöbeck. We talked of course about the tournament; that his ego took a huge beating when he lost in the WB against Mireille. We also talked about what it was like being on stage and what he was going to do with the 3000 SEK he recieved in prize money.



First of all, congratulations to you victory. Did you expect this when you registered for the tournament?
  • I always expect to win every tournament I enter and when I took a look at the surprisingly easy brackets, my confidence only grew. I still have to say that Mireille played pretty well against me in the winnerbracket finals.
You won 3-1, coming from the Loser Brackets. And the person who pushed you down to there was Mireille. How did it feel when you took your revenge in the finals?
  • I felt happy for finally playing pretty ok, and of course save my ego which took a huge beating in losing the WB finals. Mireille was alot more nervous than I was on the stage which probably slowed him down alot tho.
Jesse2sized.JPGDo you think that your offline experience and being an oldschool player helped you a lot winning this tournament?
  • Sure does, nowadays I enjoy being on stage and playing big games for "big" money. Can't even remember the last time I was nervous while playing BW.


Were there any players that opposed a threat to you, apart from Mireille?
  • Not really to be honest. But from what I've heard is that andydude alot better at Z vs. P and Z vs. T than he is at Z vs. Z.
Why do you think DreamHack lacks the Swedish Starcraft elite so much this year? I mean, it is the world's biggest LAN party and there were some good prizes this year.
  • From what I have heard talking to Sweden
Mazor, the fact that theres no way of organizing all the StarCraft players in the same area is one of the major factors. And then there's OptiHack which has a lot higher prizes in Januari something. 2 Major LANs within that period of time might be to much.What are you going to do with the prize money?
  • It's not like 3000 kronor (even if they are appreciated) is gonna change my life . I really dont know to be honest. Might spend it all later tonight since I might have promised my teammates that in a moment of confidence lacking.
Yeah, you also participated in the Counter Strike tournament, how did that go? Tell us a bit about your team.
  • It's a bounch of IRL friends who in one way or another ended up in Malmö, my town. We are sponsord by a Internet café called
Metropolis, there from the name of our clan Metropolis.And how did the tournament go?
  • We had alot of fun. :)
Have you been to DreamHack before? What do you think of this year's DH Winter?
  • Yes I have been to DH before, can't remember which though.
    I really hate LANs. I hate them and I much rather play tournaments at Internet cafés or whatever. But for being one of those I hate, I guess it's pretty.
How did it feel to sit on stage playing in front of the audience?
  • A lot more fun and exciting than in front of my computer with my CS team cheering for my opponent. A thing that might sound strange is that I loved the tables/chairs they had on stage.
    As soon as I sat down and realized that I didn't sit in the awkward position I'm here at my spot, I felt the sense of victory!
Lovely to hear! I'll mention that to the Logistics crew! What did you think of the administration of the tournament all in all?
  • A lot more flexible then the CS admins, even if they loosed up a bit as the tournament ran further and further.
Once again, congratulations!
  • Thanks, and thank YOU for hosting a tournament without any disappointments and for being flexible with my time schedule which was pretty hectic because of the CS tournament.
