Protoss don´t want NeXGenius to do well so they can whine for a patch....
Only reason I can think of for all those anti-fans.

e. ty for the interview, very good.

When hanging out with Cella at the GSL 1 finals, he told me that he and HopeTorture are very good friends that go way back, so I think it just stems from Cella giving him tons of support.


Cella once called him on his show :D Or 'show', lol.

awesome interviews, loving it so far that we actually have players with personality, with some drama going on...

definately beats SC1 progamers "i will try my best, oh i'm not so good, thanks for my fans, i will practise harder, i'm too shy to prepare a ceremony." bull craps...

hot damn GSL2 seems so much more epic than the first one!!!

I just feel genius standard games are just more sick then inca and maybe better then ssks. His probes production is always just nice and never too much if you watch his replays.

Just look at his blink stalkers rush replay if you can get a few, his timing fo 11 stalkers is always around 7mins 40+ seconds

so many props in that one last post!

i guess SKS and Inca don't want Genius to be the top protoss!



As much as I LOOOOVEZ Tester, I would dare to say that Nexgenius has surpassed both Tester and Inca, but hey. Not seeing tester for 1month, he probably has some sick tricks up his sleeve for GSL3, if he manages to qualify this time :/

No, Tester plays so clean, so solid. NexGenius can look sloppy. He is a bit like oGsMC, can go for gimmicky "creative" stuff and become sloppy.

I have more faith in Sangho and Tester, among current crop. But frankly, the race being UP doesn't help.

In short, for me, Tester is still the best protoss out there.


You are only saying that because you don't like players who show personality for whatever reason. If you watch the huge amount of replays of Genius, you can easily tell he's by far the most mechanically skilled protoss. The only reason Tester is regarded as the best is because of all the hype from Artosis, and when he got lucky multiple times holding off seemingly impossible situations. Nobody can beat Genius in a straight up standard game if he does his normal play.



... I define good as doing well under pressure and when it counts. So I think Genius was atleast somewhat scared of ITR to change things up.

I guess that doesn't say much about Tester either who failed to qualify.

We talkin about PRACTICE

Great interview, looks like they are getting better and better And we even hear some interesting thing about Korean toss scene, wonder what's that all about. I guess they are frustrated with bad results at tournaments, but shoudn't that get them closer, and working together to overcome obstacles, or they just want to chase N1 protoss title between themselves..who knows :/

Whoa, I had no idea NEXGenius was disliked in Korea. Shouldn't they like him for winning Blizzcon? Or is it just a manner thing. What reason would Tester have specifically to dislike Genius so much?

Most likely he means he'll pay for ITR's dinner or something.

Despite maining Zerg, ITR has always been my favorite sc2 player, and one of my fav. Bw players ( his reavers <3 ). And this interview goes on to show he's an admirable nice guy. Thanks for the translation.

CellaWerra was practicing a lot with HopeTorture before Hope's game against Check. So the "Holy check" Which is Cella's trademark saying, meaning something like "Wow!" "Awesome!" "Holy shit!"(see the similarity? ), has a double meaning
Cella actually livestreamed the practice games, watched some of them. ^^

NEXGenius is very arrogant, thinks he's better than everyone, calling less skilled players weak, and such. ^^

Good interview. BM on Genius's part for biting more then he could chew. But, the only time I'd say "Holy Check" is if I won the GSL or a Major tournament and was holding that "Check" in my hand.

This is the best interview of all 4 from RO8. A lot of personality and interesting trivia.

Didn't NesTea also credit him for helping with practice? I guess he's already out of oGs?

All the interviews were great but I prefer ones like this where when you are done you feel like you learned something unique about the player. Holy Check!

I am happy ITR won, Genius is too cocky. Keep them in check.

Does anyone else think it is funny that people think ITR sucks yet he pwns everyone and gets super far in every tournament he enters?
I'd love to get your help!

Yeah I think he did. Interesting to see beef between protosses PLEASE can we see Tester next GSL, so that we have a protoss we can all love. Though to be fair I still love Genius for being such an amazing protoss... Just that he does seem to bite off more than he can chew from time to time
