Make sure to check the GosuGamers front page to catch the stream.
You will play a PvP against crew member Dakata. How is your PvP? How do you win PvP these days?
- Heh, my PvP is not bad right now I know how to defend many all in - which is of course not easy - how to play macro and how to an show aggressive game.
How is it to play against players who are not that known, can they surprise you with strange tactics, what's most common in PvP?
- Of course it's very hard for me to play against him because you do not know what to expect.
What is your strongest matchup these days and why?
- Hard to say, maybe PvZ because I play a lot against Dimaga and other zerg :)
Can we expect some fun games from you in the showmatch? :)
-Yeah, of course. I'll try to show not only standard build orders.
Any shoutout to your opponent? :)
- I hope we can show some good games!
Dakata, tell us a little about yourself. Who are you?
- Hello! I'm Dakata from a small town in Bulgaria. At the moment I'm still studying at school and looking forward for an university to continue my education.
Tell us about your gaming experience.
- I started playing sc:bw like 4-5 years ago , but my results were pretty bad and I couldn't adapt to this game very well. But I have played StarCraft 2 since the beginning of the beta and I worked really hard to get into the game with all it's techniques and mechanics. I've been part of the German clan Destiny Dealers for 3 months. After that I stopped laddering and started mainly to watch replays, learn techniques, strategies and the game at all. Now I'm starting to take part on some tournaments and will try to break into the pro scene.
What do you do on GosuGamers?
- I'm a GosuBet/Database admin for the StarCraft 2 section and since my team is awesome and everyone is so kind I really enjoy working here. Also I'm gonna keep working with the team in the future, til Synergis, our GosuBet team leader, don't kick me out!
Do you think you have a shot against White-Ra?
- There can always be surprises in StarCraft 2, so I think I have chances against White-Ra and I will definitely give my best to beat him! I'm hoping for the best. =)
Do you feel you have an advantage as you have probably watched tons of White-Ra replays while he has not seen anything of you?
- Yes , this is probably the only advantage I have against him and honestly I've watched a massive amount of his tournament games. So pretty much I know how he plays and his techniques.
Do you want give any shoutout to your opponent?
- White-Ra is awesome guy, I had the chance to talk with him few times and he was very kind to me. Also to be honest I think he is one of the top three Protoss in EU and US, so I respect him as a player and as a person. As I said I'm prepared and will not leave this without a serious fight =) Good luck & have fun Ra!
