I know I've been doing way too many blogs. Sorry about that.

Get To Know is a series of interviews I'm starting. It's similar to the 20Q 20A Korean Progamer interviews. They're lighthearted and more about progamer's lives off the field. The first of these is Brian "VTSpades" Francis, of VT Gaming! Thanks for your time again!

[Q]: What do you hope to accomplish this year in StarCraft?
VTSpades: I hope to establish myself as the top North American terran player, and take home a MLG Championship title.

[Q]: Best friends in and out of the team?As in, who would you say you're closest to in the community?
VTSpades: I'm really close with all my teammates at VTGaming, but mostly with VTFuture. Outside of the team my closest friends are ROOTSundevil (I/N: Organizer/manager of ROOT) and FXOSheth probably.

[Q]: Favorite food?
VTSpades: I fell in love with Korean barbecue while living in Korea, so it's kind of my favorite for the time being.

[Q]: Favorite movie?
VTSpades: That's a tough one, I kind of consider myself a "movie connoisseur" but It's probably gotta be Memento, or Let The Right One In.

[Q]: Dream job? If StarCraft is your dream job, 2nd choice?
VTSpades: Professional poker player definitely, I've given it a few cracks over the years to make a career of it, but I found myself drawn back into Starcraft 2. I love the freedom it gives, and if I retired from Starcraft 2, I would definitely get back into it.

[Q]: Dream city to live in?
VTSpades: Well with Poker being my passion, Las Vegas has always been on my list, but I'm also quite fond of Malta, which is a beautiful island south of Sicily. They are mostly English speaking, and they have beautiful architecture and white sandy beaches with clear water.

[Q]: Your Team = Fight Club. Winners? Losers??
VTSpades: Well, I'm probably twice the size of everyone in VT, so I'm not too worried about myself. Most of our team are pretty small, but I believe Mirhi would be a winner, same with MrBitters then maybe giX. Future is small too but I think he can scrap. I imagine Pokebunny would just kick someone in the balls and run, and perfect would be too shy to participate. The more I think about it, it would be way too awkward to see most of them fight, so it's hard to say who would win haha.

[Q]: Say you're coaching your own team. 2 terrans, 2 tosses, 2 zergs. From any team. Can be friends, can be great players. Who would you pick? You don't have to answer if you don't want to.
VTSpades: 2 Terrans. I believe i would pick SeleCT, because he's a monster. Then EmpireKas because hes been winning just about everything in the European scene. 2 Protoss. NaNiwa definitely, because I love him, and he's such a strong player even though he has had some downfalls. Then KiWiKaKi, I don't think i've ever seen anyone with a stronger will to win than this guy has. 2 Zergs. mOOnGLaDe, because he's my Aussie bromance. Then probably MorroW, because hes really shown he's a complete player with 2 races, he's capable of anything.

Thank you so much for your time. gl hf
VTSpades: seeya~
