BlaznJason: How did you like the tournament?
Testie: Oh, it was nice. GG.net did a great job of organizing and pulling through. Can't say the same for the participants, more than half didn't show.
BlaznJason: What was your favorite game from this tournament?
Testie: Hmmm, well.. I think I didn't get any hard games other than the ZvZ on paranoid, which was a good game. That was probably my favorite, because I was actually an underdog at one point, then the overdog, then the underdog again.
BlaznJason: Do you think the way you played that game (no mutalisks) is a viable strategy?
Testie: It's quite viable, but I made a few mistakes and solid play by my opponent and good muta control didn't let me take full advantage of ling / scourge.
BlaznJason: What do you think of the new WCG maps?
Testie: I haven't really tested them enough, though they really should fix Gaia's 1:00 minerals and gas. That's kinda imbalanced. ;-)
BlaznJason: What do you think about the finals of TLT?
Testie: I think they are going to be tought, especially since I'm not practicing for my matches. I'm just helping my friends pracitice for their matches, in matchups I don't need. It kinda sucks I'm getting the short end of the straw. But I really don't care about TLT.
BlaznJason: Since you mention it, what matchups are the ones you think you need to work on?
Testie: That's noone's buiness, plus it depends on what map.
BlaznJason: Why do you say you don't care about TLT? Is your entry paid for you? If so, by who?
Testie: Eh? No, it's paid. But right now im in a very apathetic mood towards BW. Perhaps it's all the extra hate i've gathered. But I really don't care if I win or lose and would even 5 pool if I were stupid enough.
Testie: I just hope for a Testie vs Mondragon final. That would be cool again. But that seems unlikely after one of us hits the losers brackets since it's BO1.
BlaznJason: So your favorite to win TLT is Mondragon?
Testie: Hmm, well.. recently I just beat him a lot. So no. But when he was practicing for MMI he beat me a lot.. so.. I'd say me and him are simply the uppertier players, then there are a plethora of strong players that are close like ret / fisheye, etc...
BlaznJason: Ahh, so you acknowledge Ret, some were upset you missed the finals of TANL vs him recently. Anything to say about that?
Testie: Well, do you expect me to say someone else? Whenever I play these people I beat them much more often. And have for years. I said my apologies. I said we could play tomorrow. I also said I'd understand if they wouldn't let me finish.
Testie: The IRC conversations with Oxy about Ret being a newbie and not wanting to play him anyway was a joke. ;p
BlaznJason: What is your response to those who are upset that you skipped out on the tournament for which the organizer (oxy) paid your entry?
Testie: I thought it was funny at the time.
I told Veg to nuke me in the finals, and he ended up nuking ret.Testie: Ehhh, I told him, and them, that I'd be able to play the next day. If they cared. And to just give me the 50$. I played the tournament and still earned 2nd place, no? Yet I was given no $ because I ruined the finals? Pfft. I gave them a great series vs ret in the WB finals. That's enough.
BlaznJason: So you are showing that you have little care for the community, or Oxy, or their tournament or what? What are you saying?
Testie: I have great respect for Oxy. He ran TANL perfectly. Even constant reminders on MSN, which is going out of the way for us. I have respect for ret as a player. I acknowledge him as one of the top dogs. He's great. (Though I smack talked him all in the finals).
Testie: That was all in good fun to me. Then once he beat me my ego got damaged so I had to say "wtf i've beaten u more often, im the favorite" then I realized that was stupid.
Testie: I should have just said good game. But hey, I do a lot of stupid things. Shrug, above all else. I'm just a person who makes mistakes. And if it makes them feel any better, I lost $100 when I went and played Poker with my boss.
BlaznJason: Thanks for your comments. Good luck in the TLT tournament, and thanks again for participating in our beta tournament for our new tournament scripting at GosuGamers.net!
