Very good interview

thank God we have a Qikz in the BW scene.. I love me some map spiciness from time to time. Makes things entertaining, that's for sure.

Thx!

I believe this interview was over text, but we can look at some video/audio content if there's a demand for it! :D

All hail Qikz indeed!

Things are looking really great for the foreign scene growing and potentially merging with the Korean one, particularly the CasterMuse bit about casting the league in Korean. This is great news and I feel we all owe a big thank you to people like Qikz who put a vast amount of energy and time to walk the walk besides talking the passion talk - a passion we all share.

Hooray!

I will forever remember Qikz as the bully who went some form of 1-1-1, factory play and fake factory play, and bullied me because I didn't know what the hell his tech will be, back in the days of DRTL :D

Great interview! You can definitely see the passion that Qikz puts into the STPL broadcasts. I've especially enjoyed the short videos (STPL Does is my favorite). Keep it up!

I watch STPL everytime I can! Qikz personality and the fantastic production is what appeals to me the most but it often deliver amazing pimped and scrappy games!

Keep the hard work Qikz <3 + Show Spoiler +

Just want to say to everyone thanks for the kind words <3

Also to AOT - you'd love it if I picked the ASL map pool. Everyone loved the Zotac CUP and I picked that map pool!
