NonY is a manner guy...he is always talking up his opponents. He is honest about his determination and feel about the game, but that's not arrogance in the style of "I don't have to practice to win" Draco.

Brat has lost to JF once in a bo1 (I think), no further history between either pair :C
I want a nony vs brat final for sure :D

I love the quotes from xlo players. xD

I for one am glad that we get more honest answers from some of the players. I'd prefer Draco tell us that he doesn't practice if he really doesn't, adds drama and it's being honest. Same with Idra. If he honestly believed he was top 4 material I'd like to hear it. What's the point of having interview questions like "What do you think of your opponent?" and "What do you think your chances are?" if you expect every player to answer with variations of the same damn thing. "My opponent is really strong, I'll do my best. <insert comment about luck>" and "Too hard to make predictions, but never over 50%" being the typical answers. If they are really modest people, fine, no problem with that. It characterizes them a bit and we get a good mental picture of the kind of person they are. Like we all associate Mondi with being really modest. However, quit bashing players that actually answer the damn questions how they honestly feel.
If you want everyone to be modest, just copy paste Mondi's interviews a few times and change some names. I almost want someone to say "The rest of these guys aren't on my skill level, this is going to be easy." just for some damn variety and to make things interesting. Having a villian around makes things more interesting.

That said, I'm rooting for Brat as the last Terran representative. All of the remaining for 4 are awesome though so I won't be disappointed no matter who wins.

Am I missing something? Why is he picking protoss in singleplayer when testing out new maps? I can see gateways has the same size as factories, but pylons dont match supply depots.

I hope in TSL #2 there will be double elemination, so the tournament takes longer overall.
Btw, I like BRAT! :D

I voted for JF to win the tourney, but that was BEFORE the Brat vs Dreiven series. Now, I am not sure. And this interview really makes me like Brat. Go go Eastern countries!

TL quality writing, what can I say. Brat_ok seems a really nice person, and a very cool and mannered gamer. I'm rooting for him to win it all
Thank you plexa, thank you Hot_Bid, thank you Team Liquid

Brat'Ok, I love that guy.

"The Villainous Draco is out to steal the TSL cash away from our valiant American and is going to do so by not practicing."
that was pretty funny actually. :D i think he's gonna own the kid though. and brat wins the whole thing, greatest guy ever.

He knows the build orders and the counters and what he needs to do as a terran, but what would a protoss do on the new map that hes going to learn? That's the kind of information he wants to know. He's probably looking at possible strategies, lengths, flanking possibilities and any other minute details.

My liquibet is going off that evetually, BRAT_OK has to lose.
so far I lost around 4 bets to that.

"Your chances to win TSL? BRAT_OK: Above zero."
hahaha great interview

Kirill Patyrykin AKA BRAT_OK <3 !

Wow, Brat_ok is a cool guy. I really hope he does a TL Attack. I like how he can just think up a new strategy and feel confident enough to apply it to such a critical game. That's ballsy.

What he said. I don't know how the hell some of you think NonY sounds cocky. Great interview with Brat and yeah Plexa I wish they could both win too X_X

Wuthering H is a strong map for Terran. Terran got advantage over Zerg and balanced for Terran against Protoss.
