The first clash in Blizzard Mystery-Map Ivitational has been played! Captain Random, 
Testie, checks in for his two cents on the matches, his birthday, and the possible line-up for Team Asia.
| So how'd it go today? Canada won, 5-1! The Americas lost 2-7 :P You defeated Eriador once again (last time was KotH officially), how did it feel? Hmm, I don't think either of us played really well.. we were kind of sloppy. But it felt nice. Especially because it is my birthday. ;) Happy Birthday! I am sure everyone from SG.com will give you a big birthday thumbs up ^_^ What do you think of the players that were chosen for this? Thumb, middle finger... some of each. But I hope more thumbs. ;)! Hmm, personally I would have made some changes to both teams. But otherwise, I think they did a good job. Most of the players have proved themselves to be good overall players. What changes? It's probably not so manner to say. ;) Were you prepared to play Mondi if need be? He might kick you out of bed if you beat him ;) Well, at first I thought I was playing Mondi. Which would have obviously been the hardest opponent for me on team Europe as he is easily their best. (Easily). But Eriador wanted different matchups... Me vs Mondi would basically be 50/50... Eri was hoping to offthrow me with luck matchups in RvR As Mondragon had pretty much 80 / 90% chance to win his games sv the rest of our team. And if I won vs Mondragon... our team would have a much better chance. Blizzard just had you all submit the matchups you wanted and assigned matchups based on that? heh, No, there was a vote. That counted for 33%. Then there was captain decisiions Eri 33% / Rekrul 33%. Rekrul didn't care at all, so Eri just basically got his way. There are no hard feelings on either side though. ;) And i'm still happy with the results. It's what I expected after seeing the matchups. Which players would you like to see in Team Asia that Team Europe is about to play? Well, I hope it does not encompass all asians.. as there are 500 good koreans for each good foreigner, and they really are in a different league than all of the euro players with the exception of Mondragon. I'd like to see only koreans though. Perhaps not the big name pros I expect it will be PJ + 4 others though Oh, I hope Nal_Ra plays! Because Mondragon wants to play him! And it's his birthday tomorrow Happy B-Day Mondragon! Great! Maybe we can get a birthday interview from Mondi too. ^^ Hmm, he may slurr a lot... Even if it is typing slur.. It's his birthday... He will be full of potent German love drink. :P That always makes for a good interview ^^ Maybe I will do a shot of yager for each of you. lol You wanted to do that anyway. ;) True. ;) How old do you and Mondi become today/tomorrow? I am 20. And he turns 19 tomorrow I believe. Maybe 18. I forgot his age... omg he's going to make me join ToT) now :(!!! He tells me to join every day for beer! BM! :P What do you think about RRB or Androide playing for Team Asia? Legionnaire? Hmm, I think Androide really doesn't deserve it. Manner or skillwise. RRB is good, but there's 5000 more deserving koreans Legionnaire is a fine choice, as long as he doesn't go vs zerg. ;) What did you think of the maps? Are there any you strongly liked/disliked? I thought the maps were neat. Despite complaints about balance issues I thought they were relatively well made. Astral plays basically like temple. Hawkeye isn't as tough for PvZ as some make it out to be. Though it definitely is hard for TvZ. And Coulee I haven't played enough to know about balance. However I thought they all looked great. And were a nice variation from the norm. Well, again let me give you congratulations from all of us here at SG.com. Is there anything conclusory you would care to add? A big thanks to Eri for the birthday present. ( "Letting" me win ! ) ;) That's about it. =D Awesome, Take care and have a fantastic birthday! Thx. =) |
