Vanilica at WCG

[s]event_wcg[/s]

The latest GosuGamers WCG Profile is on the
Serbia and Montenegro Serbian gamer: Srdjan Petkovic who goes by the name of Vanilica.



We normally see GosuGamers involved with more well known gamers, but once every so often it is good to hear from the other side of the chain and give otherwise unrecognized countries and gamers the lime light for a change.

Before this interview took place I actually had a bit of a chat with Vanilica about his war torn country of Serbia and Montenegro Serbia (formerly known as Yugoslavia), as I had little knowledge of the place. He explained to me that he himself has experienced his share of hardships in life from wars through to his city Belgrade being bombed by NATO in the past, but he courageously stated that it has only made him a stronger person because of this, and that is something one can only smile at and admire!

Your Full name, Bnet id and Race ?
Srdjan Petkovic, Vanilica, Terran

Your best moment?
Seeing all the people that play SC, people I only dreamed of meeting! Site seeing around the city, also seeing skyscrapers, golden gate bridge, being in America the country nobody from my family had ever been to!
But the most I liked the tournament itself because I really have much respect to all those gamers and organizers and I really enjoyed staying there it's kind of my best trip ever!!!


Your worst moment?
Well as all those players said, losing vs. Canada Testie because he went lings on Martian Cross and managed to win me. At some certain points of the game I had some advantage but he still managed to win.
I really had my chances since he played really bad for him (in fact he is much better than me) and even then I couldn't win him. If he played average he would win me easily!


Your worst mistake?
In the same game I left my base with 2 groups of marines and bats and some medics, and left a pretty large force in my main, and he (Testie) of course attacked my main and I clicked the ****ing windows button (next to ctrl) and went to windows, not being able to stim or micro and after that I did one more big mistake by returning to my base instead of attacking his. Yes it's all because I am not that experienced as many other gamers there were. (I have played sc for 1.5 years now) with my analog modem!

Your favorite quote?
Well I really don't know since I didn't speak much with sc gamers, but maybe the way France Elky say Chobo, it sounds really funny!

Funniest Moment of WCG?
Well I found Spain Zelotito really funny so I spent some time with him talking and we had a really good time, we made jokes, and he is really funny, the way he talks and all and he can't understand me when I talk fast (normal speed 0 so I have to slow down and then we start laughing because it's like I have to talk to a retard.
Well the point is that I found him funny so everything he says sounds damn funny. Once he was playing with Canada Fk.Timothy (practicing room, day before his matches) and I kept telling him about something, and suddenly I asked him "hey how can u play and talk in same time" and he answered " well I can't, u see I am only making f*cking corsairs" and by that time he had about 20 Corsairs (on Gorky) and he attacked and won!


Your future plans?
Well for a couple of months I won't play sc as much as I used to. Actually I will try to study more and sing in some good university and after that, by the time WCG 2005 is near, I will start practicing hard and try once again to go to WCG 2005 in Singapore Singapore because there isn't anything better then winning a free trip by playing games (doing what you like)

Any shout-outs?
Well I would like to say thanks to my country and the sponsors for providing qualifications to this great event, and thanks all the Serbian gamers for teaching me how to play well and how to use a brain while playing.
