haha, Mynock, you're going down a very slippery slope: your interviews are so good, if you do any more of these we might have to make you our official interviewer. And if you refuse - BAN.

Excellent work.

Really nice intreview I must admit, I'd just like to point out that warcraft isn't game of luck as Elky claimed in his interview, at least it hasn't shown that way in Europe. In Europe all the major Warcraft tourneys had gone pretty much as expected, a couple of surprises had occured but players final ranks weren't that different from the seedings.

CPL Cannes results
#1 Intox
#2 Insomnia
#3 Didi
#4 Soul

Intox came here slightly as a surprise mostly due to dott/aow strategy that was for the first time seen in a big tournament. Most of the players bet that ranks from #2 - #4 would take top 3 spots.

Clikarena results
#1 Didi
#2 Soul
#3 Insomnia
#4/#5 Intox/Anyppi ?

You can see the pattern here. 90% of players claimed DIDI will win it and he did. Other players also ended up as expected. I am not counteing in Anyppi here since korean and europeans community are still quite seperated and its hard to predict how will koreans perform.

After Clikarena lots of things happen, there was a MAJOR patch that quite drastically changed the gameplay and two of the best players (Insomnia and DIDI) lost their internet access for a month. The next big tornament was supposed to be Lan Europa that was cancelled. However there was a qualifiers tourney that was supposed to determine seedings in this changed enviroment. It was won by Heman followed by Fatc, Tod and Madfrog. Those 4 players didnt attend/perform too good in the previous tournaments mostly due to relative inexperience in lan tournements.

The next big tournament was ESWC, DIDI didnt manage to qualify, Soul couldn't attend russian ESWC qualifiers but won PG challenge that took place at same date, Insomnia was not up to date with current strategies and counters (no i-net since clik) witch was the reason he lost against tod.

ESWC Results:
#1 Heman
#2 Madfrog
#3 Fatc
#4 Tod

Most players and general audiance saw them as favourites to win the tourney. Frog won almost all online fun/invite tourneys before ESWC whilst Heman was ranked no.1 on Europe at the time he went to ESWC.

About the pro level of Warcraft3, I don't know what is the current state of the Korea progaming in Warcraft but what I do know that there already is a team of foreigners formed (heman, frog and 2-3 more europeans) that will go to Korea and play there for 6 months with salary while competeing in the team and individual leagues. That is really a lot compared to the amount of foreing brood war players that were in Korea.

Id also like to add here that WCG results might be pretty unexpceted. Since almost everyone good transferred from classic to tft and are practising tft only witch will give chance for some lesser known players to perform well.

I know this is mainly a Broodwar site and brood war users here are tired of Warcraft players trying to explain the game is good but I had the urge to write this down
