Seven questions to Ciara, who lost in the Group of Death, despite defeating SoJu. Read on!
1
You were in the group of death, did you expect to advance from it?- Hmm, I knew it was gonna be hard but I was hoping for it since I knew what maps I was gonna play on and versus what players I prepared some on each map watching their playstyle and such except for sky and lose since thought I would win to Lose anyways and lose to Sky anyways. I didn't play as well as I could have hoped. I left from Denmark so early spending and spent three days days lying in hotel doing nothing and then went straight into game versus Zeus, not a very good preparation.

You took down SoJu, what would you say were the key factors that made you win the game?- Well I prepared that strategy out for how he plays of what I've seen in replays. It paid off - my pratice before that match was good, but I guess and in a best of three it would probably be another outcome.
3
You were defeated by Lose, something one might not have seen coming - why was that? What happened in the game?- Made some stupid decisions in the game. I should have known but apparently I didn't. But yes I thought I was gonna win too. Since killing 4/5 archers cancelling shop before tier 2 killing of his tech buildings. After that I had... Brain lag I guess.

Would you say came in to this World Cyber Games in worse shape than you did last year, considering you advanced from your group last year?- Hmm. I'm a mood player, I think. And the mood wasn't really there. Didn't play for 4/5 days before. Had to plug in my stuff right before I had to play, installing drivers and such. Right the moment I was done I had to play my first game. I did what I praticed but I had no control over my units. So all went to hell. ^^
5
Do you think WCG should start seeding the players in order to avoid these killer groups?- Well if one want to win WCG he should be able to beat all and not depend on luck of groups. But yes, would be better to see all real Top 16 advance instead of one or two players getting easier game in first round of bracket then they had in the group stage because some guy advance not because he is really good but because, the guys in his group really suck.
6
Are you happy with the venue and organization as a whole?- I think its a little too noisy for me. Always playing loud music with killer bass. And they have this rule; you can't pause game then you get penalty points. In my game against Sky I told them I could hear the shoutcasters and no one paused game or anything. After game, which I lost (I probably would have anyways), they came and asked me if I had a problems ingame... Which was a little to late... They run on such a tight schedule that doesn't allow mistakes because there's no time to regame. Listening to shoutcasters while playing killed that game for me - I played like it was my first time playing WarCraft 3.
7
Who do you think will end up winning the tournament? Who has the best shot?- I wanna see soju win undefeated so I can say I was the only one who beat him! Else I wanna see some Orc win for a change or maybe and Unead. but that seems unlikely since we're missing a few top Undeads for that.
