SelecT is a very nice guy. Talked to him for a bit at Raleigh. English is a tad poor, but a great fellow =)

Yeah I was thinking that. But it could of also been that he had never thought of that before, maybe cause hes really busy?

20. What’s the funniest game of SC2 that you’ve played?
Someone 4 gates rushed me and I beat him with two cloack banshees ahahahah
I flew my raxes into a place where he can't hit with a ground unit

Been watching a lot of SjoW replays on advice from a friend, so questions for him as I don't recall ever seeing a pro who *never* scouts or scans his opponent's base in games as much as he does.

SjoW what do you think it is about your style that allows you to get away with this? Do you have a build for each match-up that is designed around not having to scout? Is this a conscious choice because of early economy or compensating for a (relatively) low APM? (around 90 average in the 20+ replays I have watched so far. Not hating, big fan and I want to understand how you do it!)

Select is honestly my favorite player right now. I love rooting for former champions from other games like TLO, Apollo and of course Select. Select fighting!!!!!
Hope is the first step on the road to dissapointment

Me neither. Lol, I just assumed everyone who in the DoW community was Euro.


Nah there were a number of Americans in the DoW competitive community. And Select was the lone Asia-born Asian. DanSkillZ was half-Chinese and from the UK, but he was also like 13 years old lol.

Nice to be able to put a face behind that name. I almost want to consider him as a foreigner when he goes GSL3, we need more foreigners there

He was really good. Mained Eldar all through the ladder, then when it came to WCG, I think just for the finals match, he switched to Chaos. I could be wrong on the exact details of it, but that's how I remember it. Pretty fking boss to change race during the finals of WCG. His reason for doing so was "Chaos is stronger," or something like that. Was just hilarious at the time.

I remember when everyone was like "Who is this SeleCT guy?". He seems like a really great addition to the community.

Nice write-up and good luck Select!
