Hello Strelok, first of all I would like to congratulate you for your 3rd place and the impressive victory over loveTT from China!
- Thank you very much!
How does it feel after such a great achievement ending 3rd in such a great championship?
- Actually it feels very great to take 3rd place. I originally planed to get Top 5 but after group stage I thought that I can make it into the game for 3rd place or even the final.
Have you prepared in a special way for the grand final here in Cologne?
- I prepared quite normal, just played games in the B.net on the maps from the map pool. In the very beginning I focused on TvZ but later on I had the idea that focusing on TvP would be more important. Even in the game vs. Luxury I was too overconfident in myself. I thought that I can take him down in straight series but I failed to my overconfidence. I haven't done nothing what I have prepared. But in the end it was good defeating loveTT.
Do you already know how to spend the price money from third place?
- No, I actually would have known how to spend the money for first or second place, but not for the third place. ;-)) But I guess it will be mostly invested into my studies, I hope to get my magister in economics soon.
Will you get also inactive as most of the other players who played the WCG?
- Not immediately because next week already the semi finals of Game Star League will be played, sadly again against White-Ra. After that I'm not sure whether I will take a break from Brood War or not.
Have you been in Germany before and had already some time to see the city?
- No I've never been to Germany before, but Cologne is a very very nice city, so much things to see and do. I only stay in hotel for sleeping. Cologne has such a huge variety of cultural and culinary opportunities. I like the Dome in Cologne very much, this building creates so many impressions and the restaurants here. I've been to a Mexican restaurant and German pub, it was so nice.
What about SC2 Strelok, will there be a Strelok in SC2?
- I will try to become good in SC2 for a year, if I manage to be good at SC2 will stay with SC2 but only for two to three years, because I'm getting too old. If I'm not good in SC2 I will drop it.
Is there anything you would like to say to the GG.net community?
- Yes, just be a little bit nicer to each other, stop spamming and shitting on each other. We are a small community and it would be much more easier and better for all of us if we just respect us a bit more. Thank you.
