The ToD Fan Club

[M]Spit: Hi ToD, first of all, we welcome you back in Millenium. Can you explain why you came back to Millenium, two months after leaving the team?

[M]ToD: Hi, Millenium and I had some differences and disagreements in the past which made our work together difficult, so I left. After many discussions, we managed to find a deal that suited both parties so that we could retry an adventure together.

What has changed during this period? From your side or Millenium's

I am more motivated than before, and I can participate to the MLG now.

Do you have been approached by serious teams during this period, or was you yourself looking for a team? Or on the other hand, did you want to go back to Millennium by restarting the dialogue from the beginning?

Yes, I had various offers, I almost moved to another country with one of them. I left because there were problems, coming back seemed quite hard but I always knew it was a possibility.

We were able to see you in one aspect of the game that you enjoy in particular: the Lans and offline events (at the HomeStory Cup for example). What is your focus today in terms of competition? Will we see you more regularly on online tournaments or rather more offline?

Of course, I'd like to do all possible LANs. The only reason I did not make it to the DreamHack is that I had no team. I'll try to participate to online tournaments more than in the past, but it's hard to play all day and to wait a lot between each game since many players are in two tournaments at the same time; it makes the experience very unpleasant, so I usually preferred to ladder. Though e tournaments like GameCreds or Gigabyte can be fun to do from time to time.

[b]Did your playstyle or your overall level evolve since you left?

Yes, I think I am improving steadily, even though I am still very unhappy with my level in general, I would like to train more successful, but it's not always easy to do so at home. I would love to train in Korea for some time to see if I can develop my game a lot, because I think I am somewhat stagnant recently.

You have the opportunity to return some time in Korea thanks to your win in the french WCG Qualifier where you were impressive. Was it a big goal for you and what do you feel at the thought of going back?

Yes, it was important, I could have gone to the Masters where the cash prize was far more important, but instead I went with the WCG. I had to pay out of my pocket to get around and go to hotel. This shows how much I wanted to qualify and go to the WCG, I qualified 6 times in 6 attempts in Warcraft, and now with my only try in Starcraft so I'm pretty proud. Now I'm trying to find a house to train in Korea two weeks before the WCG, I have already contacted a team I like and I await their response to see if anything is possible.

Are we able to see you try to EMI qualifications Cologne on Sunday?

It is indeed possible, but I plan to go to the MLG Anaheim even though I have not my ticket and my visa. So for now, I train.

Back in a team you know well, how do you judge the level?

This is one of the best teams outside of Korea in my opinion.

And the French? How would compare your level to the others?

Millennium is the best French multigaming team by far, the SC2 team has three of the best French players. So I would describe the level with : fairly good ;-). In general, there is a lot of good players in France, it reminds me of the beginning of WC3 when there was a lot of players who could make the international so I'm happy with that, I hope that is nationcup will be put in place so that we can do some damage!

Is what we can see you do the ladder to the Millennium TV?

Yes, I will even have my own show for two hours a week when I'll ladder and commenting and I will analyze the replays.

Thank you for taking some time for us to answer, I leave you the last words of this interview.

Well thanks to all the people who follow me, I also thank the sponsors : Materiel.net, and MSI Winamax ~!
