Nikolaus "SonKiE" Cassidy is considered by many and also himself, America's best player together with Phil "LongWalk" Crawford. He proved it by qualifying for BlizzCon after a tight final against LongWalk.
- We both seem to play well vs. each other and we usually go half and half. At one event he will beat me, the next I'll beat him. It's a vicious cycle, says SonKiE to fragster.de.
SonKiE is set to lock horns with Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen in the first round of BlizzCon. Should he manage to defeat the recent eStars Seoul champion, he will have June "Lyn" Park or Nikita "Nicker" Pomadov waiting for him.
The 19-year-old Human player who resides in Serious Gaming is preparing for BlizzCon by playing custom games against Orcs and Night Elves. SonKiE also believes that his race choice might give him an advantage.
- I'm lucky that I'm the only human player there. I think the rest of the players will be preparing mainly vs orc and elf. Maybe this gives me an advantage, says SonKiE.
If WarCraft 3 was water, then USA must be Sahara. SonKiE explains that there are slim to none LAN happenings in USA albeit BlizzCon and World Cyber Games. However, should ESL kick-start their 16th edition of the WC3L, SonKiE and his team will take part.
- If it ever happens, then yes, Serious Gaming will take part in it, ensures the American.
With the addition of Kim Dong "ViOlet" Hwan, Serious Gaming has a strong roster that could spel out success should WC3L get started.
- I am very happy to have ViOlet join Serious Gaming! Not only is he a very talented orc, but he's very mannered. He is a strong Blademaster player and that's just what we needed. Rotterdam is of course a gosu Orc, but he prefers to play Far Seer a lot. Now we have two options with our Orc players, says SonKiE.
