This is the kind of Mondi i like to see.

I really like how optimistic his future sounds in this interview, other times it's like he was always leaning towards quitting SC in favor of Uni or other things.

And please, let us know where you can get the reps if they are available.
We make signature, then defense it.

Weird. All the previous interviews of Mondragon, he would always go out of his way to say that he fears his opponent, everyone is equal, and his victories were purely luck. Seems to be a more honest interview, or am I missing something?

No. It means he feels that he can beat any non-korean player atm, and doesn't need to feel nervous about a potential loss. On the other hand, he knows that most korean pros can beat him rather easily, and because of that, he has a reason to fear losing, and a reason to feel nervous.

In fact he did not talk about koreans. Judging from his previous performance I would say he dont need to fear any korean non A Team Progamer too if he is in good shape.

For example I am pretty sure that Mondragon in a good shape would had good chances to win PGL and would also win against Nony.

I agree with the terrans. But nbs.... You could see White-Ra was better than him or at lease not worse. So I think Dissy could kick his ass.

Ya its my translation. You can recognize it by my bad english . Well I think its still far better than google translate .

He has no reason to be afraid of them. If he is in shape he will clearly beat Nony and Idra has never been a match for him. People might just think Nony is better because at Nonys best time Mondragon had his worst period of all time caused by the beginning of his studies. A Mondragon would have won the TSL.


In his best time he used to eat korean b team members too. He is definitely the most talented foreigner who did not go to Korea and I think the most talented foreign zerg player.

I wish ret had never stop playing competitively. I think he could have been the best zerg ever....

Mondi is a german-korean. His play is nothing like any other foriegner, its so weird to watch him play because of it.

I really like Mondi, but saying such things is pretty much pointless.When was the last time they played with each other?On what info you base your statement?

Let's just wait for them to play bo5 (yea we can dream, can't we) and we will know then, making such blind assumptions isn't really going anywhere.

before going to korea i beat him in multiple tournaments and official matches, dont think i ever lost

for future reference, whenever posting about foreigner skill levels, you should just assume that europeans are about half as good as you think they are.

also, for future reference, whenever posting about Idras skill level, you should just know that he is actually twice as bad as you think he is.
