Gohan & Fabian interview

[s]interview[/s]

Recently I have been noticing the complete domination of the 2v2 PGTour Ladder by Clan MicroGamerZ's 2v2 team:

MgZ)Gohan

and

MgZ)FabiaN

-----

I sought out the illustrious duo and discussed their success with them personally:

• 
  N:

Introduce yourself please?
MgZ)GohaN: MgZ)GohaN: Krzysztof Zyszczuk, 20y old, Poland
MgZ)FabiaN: Dominik Fabjanczuk 19y old Poland BIalystok

N: So how did you two decide to be 2v2 partners?
MgZ)GohaN: Well many time ago i played with GreatZyneck in Night Retro Tourney by n0grav for cash and won. After he came inactive I start to looking for new ally. And Fabian took 1st place in 2nd edition of this tourney ( we were 2nd ) and i asked him do he want to play with me from now to end of the world ? =]
MgZ)FabiaN: And I agreed.

N: Do you two always play your 1v1 races in 2v2?
MgZ)GohaN: Hmm, no. It depends on map. Our main matchup in 2/2 is PZ, but we are good also with other races. We are trying to play allways PZ, but its not so easy for example: Tenbills Chameleon - here pz its hard to win vs tz, zz, so thats wy this season allmost all games were TZ.
MgZ)FabiaN: I play random in 1v1 and depends on map in 2v2, on maps with choke i`m zerg, without terran or zerg. On islands we play pz as well.

N: What do you think is a better 2v2 team, two gosu 1v1 players, or two average players that know eachother's play well?
MgZ)Gohan: Hmm hard question ^^.
MgZ)FabiaN: The best is a two gosu 1v1 players that know eachothers play ^^, but from this two options I think that better is 2 1v1 gosus cause they can play something like 1v2 vs average players. Gosus can just write in game what they do and cooperate to achieve success.


N: Well for instance, Nal_Keke and NewLifeNalTeam (clan account) are obviously not always the same two players, do you beat them?
MgZ)Gohan: Its 50 // 50. They played with their main races, we didnt. In my opinion there is no definition of a good 2/2 team. You have to know this game good and u think in game. Maybe 1/1 player have a little adventage, but not allways.
MgZ)FabiaN: I agree with [Gohan].

MgZ)Gohan: (sidenote) And its hard to find opponents on pgt who agree to play different map than Chameleon.

N: Now I have my opinion, but which do you think your team is? 2 Gosus, 2 players that know eachother, or both?
MgZ)Gohan: Both :).
MgZ)FabiaN: Well.., we know eachother for sure cause we played a lot of games, but I dont think we are gosus cause they are a lot of 1v1 players that would win with us in 1v1 but in 2v2 we are beating them easily.
N: I pick both as well ^^.

N: Ok, so your team is very gosu 2v2, 129-39 PGT, ~11880 points, but Poland as country is always top of 2v2, why do you think this is?
MgZ)Gohan: In Poland Brood War is still popular and many ppl still playing it ( maybe not so much as earlier but still many ) . Our bw scene is good organised, we have many good 2v2 teams, and if we want play 2/2 we go PGT, where we can show our abilities =] .
MgZ)FabiaN: Cause 2v2 in Poland is very popular, we alaways had a really good teams, for example Mixer+Lopez and most people wants to be famous like them, 2v2 is more fun than 1v1 and its much easier to learn, you dont have to be gosu to be top in 2v2 ladders.

MgZ)Gohan: (sidenote) "Ok, so your team is very gosu 2v2, 129-39 PGT, - dont forget we played ZT ;).

N: If PGT 2v2 teams played more maps besides tenbills chameleon, and you played as much as you could, what is highest rank you think you two would get?
MgZ)Gohan: The highest for sure.
MgZ)FabiaN: Championship.
MgZ)Gohan: Fabian means Olympic.

N: Any advice for new 2v2 teams?
MgZ)Gohan: Play hard, dont give up and be smart :).
MgZ)FabiaN: Stop playing bw when u can. < laughing>
Practice, practice, practice, download a lot of good 2v2 reps with your matchup, analize your replays and try to see as much mistakes as you can and correct them in next games.

N: Any comments for the public?
MgZ)Gohan: Regards for everyone who read it. Thanks for interview. :).
MgZ)FabiaN: Regards to my personal master Spike(GN), thanks to him I`m such a good player.
