I think Mondragon knows exactly how good he is and what his chances are, he just chooses not to say anything controversial.


i agree, i'm sure he just does it to not put pressure on himself.

ppl seem to cream themselves over that false modesty though. so even though his interviews are usually pretty bland and devoid of any interesting info, at least he's making some people happy

Agreed. I don't think many people are taking your statement to refer to all Europeans, but saying 'Eurotrash' demonstrates prejudice nonetheless.

Is it OK if I call a black man a nigger? 'Oh, but I wasn't saying that of all black people, just that one!'

Thanks for reading in between the parentheses! And I'm trying to say that what you said wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be, sorry if I said it wrong.

it wasnt bad at all, the people who are getting pissy about it are just as dumb as the group i intended to insult in the first place.
people directly insult all americans on here all the time just because our president is a retard, people dont get nearly as bent out of shape over that.

Yes it was bad at all. People are not "dumb" for considering "eurotrash" an idiotic word usage in an interview like that.
And defending the word use by using the "people hate on Americans" argument here - just makes you look even more stupid.

But yes, that comment has certainly added even more excitement to the upcoming matches

The context is entirely different. None of the European players talked about 'dumb Americans' in their interviews.

I still fail to see your logic in this matter.

boo-fucking-hoo

If someone takes a statement like "eurotrash" seriously they need to pull the fucking stick out of their asses. Even if he was being serious he is generalizing some billion people. Great, he's a fucking moron. And if he wasn't (which he wasn't) then he is probably trying to solicit a response from those that would ever consider such a statement meaningful in anyway. It's like saying "starcraft player's are nerds." Great, someone has their head in the sand and generalized an impossibly large group of people in a single fucking line. I cannot fathom anyone actually being offended by such an insanely outrageous statement.

I hate kittens! Now watch all the pussies I offend. haha punny

Uh, pretty sure he is referring to the European fanbase i.e Mistrzz/Draco fans who just constanly mash words online.

Hehe mondragon isn't just humble in interviews, he's constantly super insecure about losing to someone making up all kind of excuses like 'I have a bad hangover' or simply 'I suck'. So it isn't some kind of ploy, he just underrates himself massively .

Reason he doesn't post on public forums is because he doesn't like the e-drama that these forums often consist of.

Mondragons interviews are filled with sarcasm and irony .. He you to feel like he's the underdog. Unfortunately no one believes what he says (referring to "I suck.. " etc) :D

Someone buy Mondragon a pair of balls. I swear if he says he's lucky once more in an interview, I will kill a kitten... or two.

I believe in that what Hotbid said. He doesnt want to produce any controversials or dramas. The same thing when you see interviews about him from wcg were he gives big credit towards the korean players and talks for example his victory over savior as small as possible when he is asked about it.

When he take the favorite roll for himself there would be a bunch of people who would say he is arrogant or he is disesteeming his enemys. Either way you cant please everyone. So as If I would be a player then I would choose the most comfortable way for me. For some its this underdog role for others to see themselves already in the final and to carry this also outside.

Even for Mondragon it wont be a walk in the park. Claiming something else is IMO more fanboy worship and exaggerating than true. There are also Protoss that are able to beat him bo 3. You saw loosing him vs JF bo 3 and that White_ra gave him also a hard time in the ladder stage.

you can share your honest thoughts and opinions and do so in a humble manner (example: Cloud), mondragon takes it to the extreme which just makes it seem like mocking his opponents.
