Pre-Liquibition #25 Interviews

Text byPlexa
December 20th, 2008 13:44 GMT
[image loading]

Liquibition #25 is just a few days away now and my excitement for this series just keeps growing. Unable to contain myself any longer, I interviewed both IefNaij and DinOt about their thoughts on their upcoming Bo7 series. IefNaij also shared some wisdom about Liquibition #24. Before you get to far ahead of yourself, remember that this event will be streamed at 4pm EST, 22:00 CET or 6am KST and will be casted by X and Y. On top of that, the final map in the series has been decided, and will be none other than the fan favorite - Ride of Valkyries.


MYM.IefNaij

How does it feel to have successfully retained the Liquibition crown for the second time?

Feels great. I just hope I can defend my title once again ^^

How did you feel about your games with Brat_OK?

I thought the series was quite good, very intense games. I’m glad most of you enjoyed it.

Did you play on using the elevator strategy on Lost Temple before the series started?

No, I actually thought of it a few minutes prior to the actual match. My ‘confidence’ on LT was a lie, I just wanted to psyche him out, the walls on LT is Terran heaven. You must be a fool to think I was serious.

Your next opponent is your fellow clan mate MYM.DinOt; do you practice with him much?

Despite being team mates, we actually don’t practice together. With school and everything, our time schedule doesn’t match well.

Why did you decide to pick Wuthering Heights as a map?

I lost to Dinot on Wuthering in TSL, I simply want my revenge.

The final map for the series is Ride Of Valkyries which received 32% of the fan vote. This is quite an old map and said to be Z>P; what are your thoughts on this map?

I don’t remember how to play most of the old maps. I hope we can finish the series before the 7th set ^^.

You have amassed an army on fans on TeamLiquid - do you have anything you'd like to say to them?

Hehe. Thanks to those who support me, the nice words you guys say really motivates me to play better. I’ll continue playing my best at all times.


MYM.DinOt

Liquibition has a long history of top players competing, do you feel honoured being chosen as the challenger to face IefNaij?

Yes, this is really a nice event so im very grateful of playing it.

If you were to win this Liquibition, who do you think would be the most exciting challenger to face you?

Mondragon, because he is actually the best zerg non korean and I've only faced him once.

What do you think is strongest about IefNaij's PvZ?

His timing is hard to play against, he always gets the specific unit or build in time, so is really hard to surprise him.

IefNaij chose Wuthering Heights and Longinus II as maps for this series; both maps are said to be heavily P>Z. What do you think about these choices?

In this kind of showmatch is normal to choose maps to your favor, but I don't think this maps are too imbalanced like a island map would be, so its no problem.

You mostly chose standard, reasonably balanced maps; is there any reason for this?

I don't really know maps were z>p clearly, so I just picked maps where I think I've more options to win.

The final map for the series is Ride Of Valkyries which received 32% of the fan vote. This is quite an old map and said to be Z>P; what are your thoughts on this map?
I don't know how this map is for zvp, so I just have to play it.

You're one of the newer top tier gamers on the scene; What has been the highlight of your "career" thus far?

MYM

What has been your most memorable game/series played?

TSL games

There are quite a number of fans who support you over at TeamLiquid; do you have anything you'd like to say to them?
Thanks to all of them for supporting me


Liquibition kicks off very soon and a winner will be declared. Who will it be? IefNaij the legendary TSL hero? Or DinOt, the explosive new Zerg. All will be revealed on the 21st! So be sure to tune in.

Feels as if it's gonna be a better match-up than last one. I do agree with, Play. DinOt gained my respect with his attitude. But I have a strong feeling lefNaij is going to win.

This should be awesome.
Hopefully Chill can cast this,
(That's just my bias.)
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.
