What an amazing tournament. Huk FIGHTING!!!!!!!! I was "that guy" doing the floor reports and the interviews. Thanks for the support and constructive criticism. I answered some questions about myself on Reddit: "Hey Guys. Thanks for the love, and the suggestions. I am trying to throw some different questions to players other then "hey, awesome job. How do you feel?" My Bomber interview "bombed". I was trying to ask that the balanced play of marines and siege tanks (compared to a Boxer mech build or MMA bio build) worked in that match, but could changes in HOTS effect such a build. As I am up there my mind goes "dude.....you expect this to be translated in Korean and then back into English....this is too much of a loaded question" and it sounded like I went full retard (of course no player knows what is going to happen in HOTS.) To answer a few questions I am not the "Clutch" from the Halo community. I have worked with MLG for over a year on the StarCraft 2 stream, am an avid player since beta, and I find Lindsey Sporrer very attractive. My twitter is Clutch08 and I host Shifting Gears, a variety game talk show, on MLG.tv Fridays at 10 pm EDT."

Thanks!

Good job Clutch! I haven't had the energy to watch many MLGs lately so I don't know if you've been around, but I was doing media coverage at Orlando and I saw you first the first time. Really appreciate what you're doing- very good host.

My only thing is that, as a photographer, I was sad when you guys started doing interviews backstage. It was much cooler to me when all the interviews were done on the main stage- not just for photo opportunities but the crowd wants to see people up close and personal, not on a projector.

Thanks for everything though!

You did great, I will def. check out your game talk show, sounds interesting. I also find Lindsey Sporrer very attractive, which seems kind of random to throw in there but considering how hot she is, it isn't at all.

Your interview skills were way above average. Good expression, good word flow, and good questions. As long as you keep striving to improve you should have no problem staying busy at events. Just make sure you keep putting in the effort to learn about the game and players. (Don't mean this in a critical way just saying don't be satisfied with your current skills

At first I was like... Random guy, this is going to suck.

And then :>
"Crazy day, it looks like this guy writes his own questions" (Or, at the very least, understands them?).

Very good work - and that means a lot from me. Not because I'm someone - I'm nobody... But I'm an judgmental dbag who hates everything!

You really did do an excellent job. I was cynical at first, but I was convinced by the end that you belonged there. Excellent work. Hope you are involved as the scene progresses.

Nice interviewing. You can really notice the difference when the interviewer is into the game. Will we see you at Providence?

I and everybody I spoke to (like 3 people) thought you were a breath of fresh air in terms of interviewing. Nice work, hope to see you again.

I was wondering who "that guy" was, you did a great job! Way better than JP, who is an awesome personality, but no good moderator :p

What I want to know is:

How would you feel in the future about having your own stream, or a stream/cameraman that you share with a few other interviewers, that you literally just go around MLG talking to the players when you can, commentating on the area, observing a little pool play, and just interacting as much as you can, where you can, and then handing the baton off to someone else to do for a while?

It was a thing i loved about IPL that i was really hoping for when MLG did the "we listened to you! more streams!!!!" thing, which, i'm not really going to rant about because it will get me off topic. Anyway, was wondering how you felt about that idea.

I will be at Providence. I am off to Blizzcon tomorrow and will highlight MLG Orlando and my thoughts on all the game playing and fact finding at Blizzcon during my next episode of Shifting Gears Oct. 28th 10pm EDT at MLG.tv.

Hey, I couldn't watch the stream live but I watched some of the Vod, and I was presently surprised by the interviews. I can't say that much about the question in themselves, but I had a very good first impression, I really liked your confidence.
Having a roaming camera like IPL would be pretty neat, to give a feel of what it is to actually be at the live event.

Huk is amazing. Just goes to show you that lots of hard work and dedication to something can really pay off. When he first started competing he was good but over the past few months you can really see how much he has improved.

Maybe Huk will become the first GSL Code S Champ next!

Maybe TossFan. I will do some write-ups after Blizzcon, but keep the majority of content and opinion for my show. Anything you guys care to see in particular?
