yeah i was really amazed myself at how articulate inc is. I think that he'd make a great starcraft caster, but failing that - at least try to get him on the liquid podcast

Holy fuck Incontrol is articulate. Wow I think he's the most articulate gamer I've ever heard.

He was on a debate team for years, what else do you expect?

But it is really showing in this interview that good ol' Geoff is a multi-faceted, interesting and nice guy.

Incontrol seems to know the thing about starcrafting. And he really seems like a good guy too.

NonY's persona is ideal for going abroad to be a progamer. I have to say by watching NonY and Idra's video interviews. Idra lacks social skills, humor, and seems afraid to talk too in depth. NonY will .. well to sum it up.. he's a normal person. Idra has spent way too much time in the closet by himself. He probably has no really good relationship with the koreans unless they approach him and try like hell. In which case he probably doesn't say much or try to communicate much. I can see NonY as most normal people would, have a blast with the communication barrier and get close with them solely based on his lively persona. I think these are also key factors in being successful there. If you can easily adapt to Everything.. your state of mind is very good which is really when all players play their best. Idra in my opinion is probably in Korea training very hard but lacks the happy mindset he really needs. He is probably happy with the experience he is getting being in Korea etc, but if he would open his personal character up A LOT, he would dominate. Anyone disagree or agree? I would love to say, look at Grrrr's performance.. Elky's performance.. those guys had some good character as well as the 'want to' learn the Korean language to 'adapt' to that environment which they had a passion for (before poker took over).

well, this is all speculation, but i'm guessing he practices build orders, building placement on specific maps, and i guess single player might be good for practicing macro mechanics through repetition, making sure you're doing everything as quickly as possible when you don't really have to worry about the enemy
edit: oh i was beat lol ~_~

No offense to ClouD, but why would they pay extra money to have ClouD come when NonY is right there? NonY is also probably the better player overall (based off Spirit), so I'm not sure where Blizzard's head was on this one.

I don't think Blizzard really cares about at most spending a few thousand dollars extra for a European reprisentitive.

Incontrol is spot on in his answers, especially about SC2. That was some seriously well- and fast thoughtout answers.

Btw, the starcraft-sex simile was awesome, haha.
