69d067fa86337b3507cee53ececd8f7e7123aaf260768a0f7b5973b9f2.jpgFirst of all, congratulations on winning the 3rd edition of GosuCup! Give us a glimpse information about yourself and feelings after over 5 hours of the tour.
- Hi my name is Eray "SpaNkinG" Erdugan I'm 17 years old and I'm playing for myKelmouz (MYK)! At the moment I'm pretty tired and happy to win the GosuCup edition 3!

How did you go throughout the tour? Any tough matches, controversy or easy slide through your opponents to the victory in the final?
- Hehe...^^ I'm always afraid of meeting any Undead, but this time it was going all smoothly for my favor! The closest game of today was versus Benfika.pmw!

Well it looked like you didn't have any larger problems in the final! What's your attitude to WarCraft 3? A hobby, an e-sport or you take it more easily as a freetime-filler?
- I would say every elf is prepared nowadays for a tower rush, so it wasn't that hard to counter it and after countering an TR it's like working down your ''to-do list''! I love Warcraft 3, it's just a hobby besides football and tennis! When I was younger I took it pretty serious.

Yeah, your anti TR counters were amazing and crucial for the result in the final games, GJ on that. Speaking of, what's your opinion on the whole WarCraft teams and scene issue. There were a lot changes recently (the WC3L rules, MYM dropped out) - What's your opinion about WarCraft 3's close future? Or there isn't any?
- Thanks! It's sad that so many teams disbanding or kicking the half of their players, it's because of that ''Davis Cup System'' from WC3L in my opinion. Look at the transfer market, how many good players are teamless? It's just sad but I think WC3 will survive still for a long time.

Are we going to see SpaNkinG in the future editions of GosuCup or one victory is enough and you're heading for other titles?
- Well an advise from me , do some advetisment. At 7 PM CET or something I just smurfed on GosuGamers.net and saw the tournament. If you contact me before I would participate again if no one minds. ^^ I also want to get ranked 1st or 2nd in German Bundesliga with my team MYK.

Thanks for the tips, and wishing you good luck in reaching your next goals with the team! Any shoutouts you want to give at the end?
- No problem but don't take it too serious from a guy like me :D . Yes I want to thank MYK for supporting me this good and especially to FSHost.de! And some freaking greets to my teammates Brego, PasSioN, GrunZ and SaNta!

GosuCup #3 Grand Final Battle report

Game 1 @ Twisted Meadows


Both players go for pretty standard opening. As the creeping part starts, SpaNkinG looks for a human player in the field for a hunt-down. In the direct battle between DH and archers versus AM with some foots, both (DH and AM) are taken down at the same time. After some coming back, Night Elf player manages to get Panda and gets aggresive at Human's base. Although he backs out, Human player can't feel comfortable even having his 2nd hero - Naga.

So CalmDown's next step is to counter with full force, and places towers in SpaNkinG's base hoping that if he gets them up, the game is his.

Fortunetely for Night Elf, 2 of 3 towers go down, as well the AM goes. After some micro-battle, SpaNkinG's prevails and kills off the Naga as well. When the last tower in SpaNkinG's base is removed, he goes straight off for the human player. As CalmDown's army is barely fightable, and only one hero managed to respawn, seeing that chances for a bear-supported army equal zero, Human player leaves the game.

Game 2 @ Echo Isles


SpaNkinG goes for Dark Ranger as a first hero, while CalmDown's good with the standard Human opening. Early harrassement from both sides pays back only to SpaNkinG, where he manages to have a solid surround on AM and forcing to tp out.

In the midgame, we have almost the same attempt of tower rush from CalmDown, with same units (and even again Naga as a 2nd hero). And the result of it is the same as in the first game - Human player leaves with nothing, while SpaNkinG's earned some skeletons with his DR from foots.

When both players put their expo up and the creeps on map are running out, final battle takes places in SpaNkinG's exp, where some militias from the Human player suggest a tower-attack on the expo. But the bear/dryad firm army from SpaNkinG takes down easily caster army, and when the Naga bites the dust, CalmDown calls 'gg' and SpaNkinG's titled GosuCup #3 winner!
