1. What is the significance of “SeleCT” as a nickname?
It is just exactly what it looks like SeleCT.
Actually, I made my nickname SeleCT for no reason haha. One day, when I didn't know any English, I was trying to make an account on bnet and I was just looking at my monitor thinking and there was button named SELECT. but I also think quick thinking is really important in the game which has a similar meaning to select.


Haha he's pretty lucky then, imagine if he'd have picked a different button and his name was brightness or degauss or something.

Nice article. Could have been better if there was an introduction of his nationality/place of residence.

very entertaining interview, although his answers didnt have too much substance. i still like it

but he was really lucky to choose the select button. imagine some1 having the nickname "PriNT", "PasTE" or "CapsLoCK". would be very very unepic, much worse than "SeleCT"

Argh, I remember being a huge fan of this back when DoW had a competitive community. He was an absolute baller on Dawn of War Sanctuary, the only DoW site worth anybody's time on the net. Many excellent memes from that site originate from Select, including one amusing one known as 'Reric Make Bug', the name of an angry thread SeleCT made. That stayed with Sanctuary for years, and just seeing this guy is making me very sentimental <3

I always wondered where he went, I'm very happy to see him back.
Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands.

Select for Liquid/OGS!
I always wanted to know who SeleCT was, since I had never heard of him before, thanks for the interview!

it's nice to put a face to some of the tournament names that keep popping up.

But some of the answers to the questions were the most generic & bland answers I've ever seen. The interview itself was quite boring.

Good interview, although my monitor doesn't have a "Select" button. I'm jealous.

Awesome interview indeed. SeleCT is a handsome nerd, too.
