As promised I interviewed him aswell, And he deserved his own thread!Its shorter, reason for that is simple. Its a little shorter but still very good.Enjoy;
Hi Daaman! You lost as you thought you might (vs yAn), comments?
Random three games, protoss three games, Fucking retarded.... Could’ve gotten at least one “normal” matchup :O
Bad luck! Lots of OMG before your upcoming match versus Eriador, how do you feel about the match?
Average. Some Mu’s are fine, about as usual others don’t work at all. Little uncertain vs Eriador, could get any matchup somehow..
Do you believe in victory? What do you think about his style and how did your games end in the days?
Not played each other very much, hard to speculate . I hope we both play good! About his style... Maybe it’s a little to cute sometimes, like he ends up building less.. But otherwise its fun with unusual styles.
Oki! What about your own style playing rvr?
We’ll see if it we play random.. I would probably end my comeback if random gave me a little to much protoss. Min style…. Train better and more units then him?.. All maps are macro these days.. boring.
Nice tactic! You’ve talked about not being able to play a lot.. Still you joined [TmG]. Will you play only a little?
Time usually tells how much motivation I got.. . Right now its boring how badly some matchups turns out. Got to fix that. When that’s fixed im not so very bad and then its usually hard to quit. The feeling of beating someone with a reputation is rather powerful. But when Chalmers (study) starts again in January I will play a lot less, who knows how much.. About TmG, would like to be able to contribute with something, anything else would be boring. Eri joined MgZ, and in that clan I would’ve been more outstanding then in TmG. Want to play 2v2 as well.. Me and Cocoa was supposed to play for TmG, But ret showed interest when I joined so we will see witch two it will end up with... Also I recently discovered that DaZe is fun to play with in 2v2 even though he sucks badly at it! Going to teach him a thing or two, harr harr..
Haha, looking forward seeing how things end! What about you and Eriador, did you ever “hang” on b.net? I know you both are good friends with Nazgul
Yes we both spent time with Naz, mostly before poker ;O Eri and I never really hanged though, but it happened though since we both went to bed waaay to late. We used to play FFA ,racewars or w/e with jankies or other trash! I have great respect for him though. He’s a reasonable one.
Agreed! Back in the days, did someone have a nice Daaman counter?
Jesse realized that I really suck on adjusting and I had some troubles with him, otherwise THE DAYS was good.
Interesting! Eriador told me that he never won versus Slayer or SaFT but played well vs Nazgul an Elky.. How did you manage versus oldschoolers like NTT, Naz och Smuft etc in the days?
The days was as I said before, good. Myself hade troubles with NTT . Slayer won more then 50% of our games (vi played a lot of RvR second half of 2000). But at theme same time it went pretty good versus him.. He’s was among the best back then.. About the same applies to Saft. But I only played him a little now and then.., not very much. Saft didn’t play well versus Swedes as many ppl know...Wonder why. Nazgul developed my TvP A LOT and one period I won almost all the practice games .. Sadly he often won 2-1 in tours. These days TvP sucks because of the maps.
What a shame.. Are you Terran in your spirit? Quite sure your not but…
Very rare for me to have good TvZ, TvP och at the same time., I played other mu’s.. played ZvT and ZvP a lot in the days. Around WCG year 2000 I played TvZ,ZvP,PvT(!). PvZ I’ve never been good at PvZ, only at Islands or small maps.. I used to pick race after map and my opponents weaknesses.. I also chooses based on whats fun.
Being racepicker have lost some of it’s edges. In Korea you got too tell your race about a week before game day, and guess that’s ok since the games are televised. When I played a lot it was perfectly alright to pick in the countdown and get a good my for being tricky. If racepickers play choosing race in countdown must be legal..
True. I don’t really see you post a lot at bw-sites, what do you think about the community etc?
![[image loading]](http://www.gamingeye.com/nyheter/filer/starcraft/patriot/daamman.PNG)
Daaman himself!
I type a lot at tl.net, a though short posts perhaps... All the ones I played with don’t play anymore and that’s good for them because I have played to much, but I miss them of course.. Really neat dudes. But community is rather nice these days.. Many are active and manner is ok.
yep! You signed up for Team Melee Challange at gamingeye.com with DaZe, gonna rule?
Guess so We are at a entirely different level on TM... But we have never played together so guess we could fall on that.
Haha! What about the maps in Am? Except them being macroboring?
Haven’t seen the last two homemade ones... Guess the maps are standard and they should be fine.. But I think Island maps should be included (Or are they?)
Oki! Hope you can manage on the maps and good luck in Americup and everything else.. Here comes the final question from Eriador: What makes you truly happy?
If 10% of the money spent on arms (weapon industry) or if the civilized world came together to contribute a tiny amount of what they make, poverty would be wiped out entirely. People just have to pull together, wonder if it'll ever happen. It's a sickening thought seeing money spent poorly.
Yesterday I saw a TV program that showed life in malaysia for victims of the tsunami disaster last year. Three brothers from a poor family had lost their father in it. The youngest kid, somewhere around 8 years old, was interviewed. His eyes were so sharp, really showing what he must've been through. He sat by the beach house with a smile on his face and answered that what he wanted to do in life was to become a police officer, to make sure his two brothers would get married. It seemed to mean everything for him.
It often strucks me. People around our part of the world aren't thankful enough. Circumstances are so different in other parts of the world, and here people complain about the most ridiculous of things. What makes me happy is: people who look by all minor flaws of their lives, having to stand in line, being in a small fight, whatever. Seeing an elderly couple look at each others lovingly or someone lending another a helping hand really makes me happy.
Rock n' Roll music also makes me happy by the way. I sometimes cry when I watch my Rolling Stones DVDs. See them next summer yo~~.
Interesting. Thx a lot and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Notes:
1. I skipped a few irrelevant things because it sucks translating (did this in Swedish) but the my translation is accurate.
Be sure to read the Eriador interview as well! They both rock and I hope for good games~ Thx for all the supportive words in my Eriador interview thread. Contact me with questions and suggestions if you want to…
Also the mentioned Team Melee Challenge is an event at Gamingeye.com. Currently a few semigood Swedes have signed up to battle eye.Pythagoras and eye.Dahli as well as DaZe and Daaman, gonna post some covrage from it later on…
If you like this I will post and translate all the interviews in the future as well, after all tl.net and its visitors even beats gamingeye. My predictions for the match is not wish thinking, just a feeling, Daaman > Eriador 2-0. I don’t cheer for any of them because as I said they both rock! Feel free to predict as well and motivate
Cheers and merry Christmas!
