Mondragon is cool, but almost too cool... sometimes it seems like he doesn't give a shit about anything.

decided to transcribe the interview while waiting for pj vs stork

----

mnm: Mondragon, youre in group H which is known as the "death group". How do you think you will fare in this group?

Yea.. we have to look tomorrow but i think savior will take the first spot and teste reason and me.. it will be a close race for the 2nd spot and its probably 33%

lilsusie: Ok you said that you're sure that savior is going to take first place why dont you think you or testie have an equal shot at it?

Its SAVIOR; Its the best starcraft player on the world hes first in the kespa ranking and the korea and im playing him on para andriod so its actually impossible to win if im honest so lets see i just have to win against testie and reason.

mnm: Which map do you think you will fare well at?

I think that azalea im pretty good because its a very nice map for zerg so.. And im playing testie on it so i should be fine.

mnm: So do you usually practice against the top players?

I do practice but not too much because when i practice too much i feel bored of the game so i just play a few games a week and thats fine.

mnm: Do you practice against the koreans?

Nonono.. they dont know me at all i think and i just play with my teamates and testie and so on.

lilsusie: Now i know testie is on the canadian team and you're on the german team how do you guys know each other so well that you practice with each other?

He has been in my clan for several years until he joined MYM and we are great friends and its really fun to play with him and against him its just.. bit bad luck that we are in the same group this year.

lilsusie: So if you beat him do you think he will have any ill feelings towards you?

Nono i think its fine.. if he gets 2nd its fine, if i get 2nd its fine... i will wish him very much luck if he gets 2nd.

mnm: So competing against the other germans, did you find it easy to get to the top?

The germans aren't that good like the european players and its quite easy to be top there.

mnm: What do you do besides starcraft?

I'm doing much sports and.. now im gonna start my university in... 10 days? and yea... and then im probably gonna slow down starcraft and see if its included in the next wcg next year and then im gonna start again for the wcg.

lilsusie: Now for the next year's wcg we're not sure if starcraft2 will be out yet but do you think you will get involved with the starcraft2 more or just stick with broodwar?

I think im gonna quit bw when its not in the wcg anymore and i dont think i will start to play starcraft2.. i will check it out for sure, but im not intending to play it on the competitive level.

lilsusie: Is there any reason why you dont wanna play on the competitive level?

I'm getting old (laughs) and im starting my uni and sometime you gotta slow down.

mnm: So what do you intend to do after your university?

Working somewhere..? probably? (laughs) And playing poker! (girls giggle)

lilsusie: Playing poker seems to be a common theme with the starcaft players what do you think is the link between poker and starcraft?

I dont actually know but every starcraft player is playing poker nowadays... like the last 2 days at night we were playing lots of poker in the hotel. i dont know where the link is, probably the quick reaction and thinking or whatever might help to play poker.

lilsusie: How many times have you come to the US and what do you think of Seattle
so far?

Its my 3rd time in US; first time was for wcg 2004 in san francisco. Then i was here for blizzcon 2005 in Anaheim and Seattle is actually the worst one of it all to be honest!

lilsusie: Why is it the worst one?

Its so bad weather here! (laughs) I was expecting some sun or whatever and the food is terrible actually.. (laughs) I'm only getting hamburger here! im tired of it.

lilsusie: So i assume u had better food in Sanfrancisco and in Anaheim?

Obviously! (laughs)
