Well he is a rising star in Germany. He recently won a hat trick (three tournaments in a row) at BW4ever, which is something no else has been able to claim before. He has a very “smart” Zerg and superb micro.
Physician has interviewed him and has forwarded the interview as an exclusive for GosuGamers.net. Apparently when asked which site he thought was the best Starcraft site 
schnibl0r gave our site name. With the interview is a replay pack of his best games chosen by him. If you’re a Zerg player they are a must have plus it's 2 megabytes only. It is rare that a gamer of his caliber chooses his own best reps and gives them to the world to enjoy.The interview starts with schnibl0r putting physician on the spot and asking him a few question himself. It is too long so it will continue in a forum thread. Here it is.
| schnibl0r And how did you get to know starcraft? Physician I been gaming since pong came out buddy.. Physician You know pong? http://www.pong-story.com/ schnibl0r no ^^ Physician First cpu game ever.. schnibl0r funny page;D Physician ping pong on tv, 2 d schnibl0r ^^ Physician So I have played many many video games… before pc and consoles games.. I am old school.. truly old school.. one day I will write about it.. schnibl0r ^^ Physician I am the from the "electronic generation".. schnibl0r nice Physician There is one before.. the "mechanical generation"// you still find gamers from this group.. They are the pinball wizards. But we have all moved along with the newer generations, like the latest the online console generation.. schnibl0r^^ Physician Ok you ready? schnibl0r yes! ;D Physician Name age race? schnibl0r Simon Münz , 17 , Zerg Physician Always zerg? schnibl0r I play zerg almost every game, but since some weeks I have tried to use terran as well, I like to play terran vs zerg and zerg vs terran. Physician How many years have you been playing? schnibl0r I play Broodwar for 2 years but first I played "mucho" maps and since January 2003 I have been playing mainly the "normal" maps like lt etc but the first 3 months "mucho" maps. Physician hehehe.. no way? How many hours a day u play? schnibl0r Hm, its different. Some days I play 5 hours, some 2 hours, some 8 hours. It depends on what the weather is like and on my motivation. But I think the average per day is between 4-6 hours. Physician Wow two years and you are amazingly good already. You learn fast. Have you hacked at all? hackers tend to learn faster.. schnibl0r No I didn’t hack, I never used any hack. Physician The greater the merit. schnibl0r I think I improved that fast cause I practiced a lot and I am the person who is very ambitious. Physician You study reps etc? What was your previous passion? schnibl0r First I studied build orders from replays of some players and after some time I tried to play my own style. I want to add that its good to have some training partner who helps you when you don't know what to do etc… sometimes he knows it better cause in many situations you don't see your own faults easily. Physician Why you use a Korean flag? In what part of Germany are you? I use Korean flag cause when I registered I was very impressed by the Koreans and so I wanted to have their flag ^^ and the admins didn't change it yet. I live in Baden Württemberg near Stuttgart. Physician Not to intimidate your unknown opponents? schnibl0r No I don't want to intimidate my opponents they are enough intimidated by my name ^^ J/K Physician Any of them managed to intimidate u? In the last tournament.. No I don't think so. Just in the final vs. breakdown[pg] because I knew that he is a very impressive zvz player Physician And that was the match up? schnibl0rzvz ^^ Physician zvz is many times a bit of luck.. schnibl0r no, I don't think so . schnibl0r zvz is just hard to manage it perfectly. I think you need in zvz skill like in every other match-up, maybe more, because if you do one mistake its hard to get the disadvantage. Physician Yes.. but one mistake can be just little blunder.. or bad luck.. and there goes the game .. down the drain.. schnibl0r In Broodwar there is no luck! Physician They are fun to watch.. for me at least. |
