On June 22nd, the second qualifier tournament for the Corrupted Cup took place. The tournament had a lot of big names attending (including our own Avi coming by for a troll) - but the winner was our magnificent MadiNho. The 2v2 player showing the world that the 2v2-style rules 1v1! He was kind enough to give a small interview during the aftermath. Incomplete[ReV]: Congratulations on winning the second qualifier tournament for the Corrupted Cup! You had quite the road through the brackets, taking down some really strong players. How did you feel your games were compared to your form? You haven't played for quite a while? MadiNho[ReV]: Hi and thanks! Think I got lucky in the brackets. There were some players I didn't want to meet. TvT vs cryoc, no thanks, or TvZ vs Avi. Glad the other players took care of them. I had a blast playing the games, drinking and streaming it with my vikinghat and ReV-shirt. Tried making it as entertaining as possible, some of the games got a little closer than I'd hoped for :D . I didn't really practise anything. Had a lot in life going on, work, school etc, but now I got 4 weeks holiday. Form is Temporary, Class is Permanent Incomplete[ReV]: Yeah, it was a blast to watch - at least the games I was able to watch live. I especially liked your game against Eriador - 8 rax, queens, mech, doom drops. It seemed like a constant back and forth game. Did you ever consider leaving? Or did you always feel you had control or should be able to bounce back? MadiNho[ReV]: It's not over until the fat lady sings, but I could hear her warming up in the background if I didn't pull my shit together. I never leave. BW is liker poker.. All you need is a building to stay alive and a unit to micro! I knew he was low on eco, so I just needed to stop him from making any more bases, catch his queens and choose the fights that would tip my way. www.twitch.tv Link to the start of MadiNho's game against Eriador. Incomplete[ReV]: And you did so splendidly! Due to the tournament format, people can bid to challenge you as the winner if the tournament. NeMu has bid 50$ so far, and the auction ends this Friday. Are you worried? Do you hope lesser players outbid him, or do you see it as an opportunity to prove your worth? MadiNho[ReV]: Not really worried. It's a fun concept, but I don't think anyone will outbid him either. Looking forward to play vs NeMu if nobody outbids him  . I've never really practise any buildorders, just lots of experience built up from playing with and vs some amazing players, 2x2 and 1x1. But I am most known for my unorthodox style which can come as a surprise to the robot 1x1ers who knows all the timings. But NeMu comes from the same background as me, so time will tell Incomplete[ReV]: Might see some epic games then! How do you handle the pressure of a tournament setting? Any advice for newer players on how to approach a Bo1, Bo3, and the the constant pressure through the entire event? MadiNho[ReV]: Have your favorite drink next to you! My weapon of choice is bacardi, really calms my nerves. Also a great excuse if anyone walks in on me with a vikinghat, I can just blame the alcohol. In bo1 anything can happend, I don't have the greatest tournament records, due to I rarely play them. In the bo1 game vs cadenzie I got really lucky I caught the lings, so I just almost always assume the worst, scouting is crucial! Bo3 you got a little more time, not alot, but some to read your opponent and get into your groove. Also don't be afraid to try new things so you don't become predictable. ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/twwRSj8.jpg) MadiNho under heavy pressure from Bakuryu in the Grand Finals. Incomplete[ReV]: Assuming you win against NeMu (or any other challenger who wins the bid) - do you have any plans for extra training or preparations for the offline event? MadiNho[ReV]: That's never been my style. Biggest issue will be if my balls are big enough to go to Russia and face all the mafia protoss who awaits me there! I think NeMu will be practising harder than me for our games, I will be there on match day with my hat and my bacardi, take one game at the time and enjoying the game. Just glad to see remastered putting new light on BW since "everyone" claims its dead, but maybe more alive now than ever. So when iCCup users finally want to take the big step and come to remastered and maybe for once increase their skill - i will be waiting for them. Little offtopic, but after all the good left from iCCup to RM, the "noobs" don't really see the skill gap because they now consider themself the best. I never liked to do anything half-assed, so I try to be the best I can be and I still got more in me. Thats the beauty with BW, each day you learn something new. If you try to educate others they just call you no lifer and carry on with their life. I just don't understand why most people spend 2-6 hours likely pr day on a game and doesn't want to increase their skill. Incomplete[ReV]: Some interesting thoughts! That's the end for this time, but before I fully thank you for your time, do you have any last words to your clan mates or to the community overall? MadiNho[ReV]: Really glad I joined ReV when I did! A clan where you feel like home, everyone is nice and thrive to help each other to get better. Can't say I read everything thats written in our discord but there is sooooo much activity and i love to see it. Next ReV meeting I am definitely showing up Keep fighting and BW forever, thanks for the interview. And if anyone wants to pracc or play some games with me, high or low - just hook me up Peace out <3 Thank you and congratulations against to MadiNho! I wish him the best of luck and enjoyment for the coming challenge, and hopefully for the offline tournament in October! Fighting! <3 | ||

If not, have you considered this? It takes a lot of time, games and work to win a qualifier... | ||
