If you would make it to finals, whom you prefer to play with?
BRAT_OK: Both Draco and NonY are monsters! But I prefer NonY, as I already defeated him.

Alright NonY, show this guy what's up.

Edit: That is, if you show Draco what's up, which would sadden my heart, but reaffirm my brain

lol?

He means the most important thing in life is that when you're old you can look back and say that your life was meaningful

I was worried about this being interpreted from my post, so allow me to justify my claims. Essentially, nobody thought JF was weak - not at all, everyone was picking him as Ro8/Semis material but i dont think anyone seriously considered him a winner for this event. So while he is fairly strong, he still is an underdog to take the event from other huge names. The poll reinforces this really;
Draco (1329) 34%
Brat (594) 15%
NonY (524) 13%
Dreiven (463) 12%
IefNaij (457) 12%
White-Ra (288) 7%
DinOt (149) 4%
GOsia (119) 3%

Well if you look at the poll then the only favorite would be Draco. JF is at 12 and within 3 percentage points of second which is statistically insignificant.

Hmm some of the comments on this thread puts into perspective some things ...

http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft/news/8472-nony-draco-is-definitely-able-to-be-defeated

They're so biased there, now I understand Idra's berating of a certain contingent of gg.net posters. NonY is an amazing player, some of the opinions on there are ridiculous.

Go brat! I really don't like nony's arrogant/childish style, so go draco also!

Arrogant? Draco keeps saying he doesn't practice or study maps. He has "Retired" in his name and he pretty much does everything he can to show people he never plays starcraft (Eventhough I doubt it's true).
This is why he will and should lose.

Awesome interview with Brat. But keep in mind the matches are at like.. 11 PM or something russian time, possibly even later. So assuming he has either a job or school or whatever he wont be able to sleep before the match which of course pretty much sucks. But gogo!

I just don't believe Draco when he says he doesn't train. Maybe he trained a little less than other gamers to reach this point but nobody wouldn't train when ten games can make a 4500$ difference. He's just trying to make an impression.

Go NoNy!!

Agreed. I can't wait to see Nony take him down 3-1. All the polish fanboys will have to cry themselves to sleep.

Great job on the interview very funny! BRAT_OK and Nony in the finals!

Brat_Pro seems like a pretty cool guy

So is NonY, though. If Nony defeats draco, my allegiance will transfer.

the gg.net forums are insane. when those guys are talking about nony, they immediately resort to this wild anti-american nationalism. it's like they're so caught up in their own national biases that they don't even acknowledge america for the superior nation that it is.

I am with Chill.

I think NonY is really confident and knows what he can do. Sometimes a lil bit of cockiness and "confidence" helps you a lot to win big matches. I ve played Halo 3 (which I suck at xD) with NonY and he isn't childish at all. He kinda reminds me of Rock[3.33] for some reason... You could say TheRock looks cocky but now compare Rock with Chalrenge... it's a different type of cockiness ;]
