I enjoy watching Draco games, he's a great player... that's all that matters to me.

Go Dreiven, you deserve to win it all !
Taking the time to have simple fun everyday is a must for a happy life.

Personally I am not mad at Dracos interviews and blame him as a liar or something like that. But stll I have to say that I find his attitude a bit strange.

Firstly he wrote in one of his interviews that he did not put much effort in the games in the ladder stage and offraced alot because that were only meaningless ladder games. This reads for me also like "now it gets more serious and I put more efforts in". In the ladder stage he played many games like others but now when it gets serious he doesnt practice.

Secondly he explained that he wouldnt start in TSL if he wouldnt see him finish at the first place cuz he plays for the money. But now he sensed it funny that he still was able to win vs strelok. Like it was something unexpected?

Maybe this also because of some language barriers but everything sounds a bit contradictory and I am not smarter about his attitude as without his interviews.

But whatever I dont put to much weight on this since I am more looking towards the next games.

He had to play a lot inorder to qualify for top 48 spot. For top 16, even more so.

noone is getting riled up over draco's silly interview, the only person riled up is draco himself, for whatever reason he's taking all the posts here pretty serious!

Still when I would be in his place and had to play so many games to get the opportunity to win the money I wouldnt stop practicing when it gets more serious and that it was funny for him to win over strelok without practice means to me that he couldnt be that confident.

I mean its absolute up to him how he is preparing for his games. But from the third person view after reading his interviews you just keep asking yourself what is the real attitude behind.. how much horny is he actually on the first place + the money and is he that careless, super self-confident or just wants to show off a bit.

Draco, don't expect people to respect you or believe what you're saying when you're acting like a e-thug on the forums and just flaming everyone in your path.

Draco was in Korea for months, he has probably had more and much more importantly BETTER practice than just about anyone else in the bw scence outside of Korea, not to mentioned the fact that he played at least a couple of hundred ladder games to warm up and get back into shape. So for me it is not strange or funny at all that he beat Strelok without specifically practicing for it.

its really possible to answer all misunderstandings with a lighter tone (hi Leg ) and all of Dracos 12 posts on TL are all the same agitated responses.

Relax Mr. Nalepka, ppl really are cheering for you.

Draco, don't get upset about some pussies that spew shit on forums. the majority of tl.net supports you and has been cheering for you when you were in korea. people who take these interviews too seriously can't be taken seriously anyways. I don't believe what Mondragon says in his interviews neither, but that doesn't mean that I think he's a bad person. He's so humble and he always says that he relies on luck, but in the end I think that he just doesn't want to come as arrogant and that he doesn't care about the interviews.

If you say that you didn't practice at all that's fine and I don't even care too much if it's true or not. If you back it up by saying you were honest I believe you though.
This is my truth, tell me yours!

the way I see it Draco just plays as much as he has to, and if he can pick up some prize money in the process that's fine, if not whoop-dee-doo. also I concur with everything Xeris said.

what is the payout structure anyway?

I really don't give a shit if what he said was true or not. Personally, I believe it, because lying like that is somewhat "below" Draco. Why would he lie like that? I'm pretty sure he realized that someone was going to say something about it.

He got lots of practice just by qualifying. Some people don't need to practice die hard for days and days for a single game, just like some people don't have to study all night to take a test.

Maybe for Draco, SC is like riding a bike... once you get back on the seat, all of your instincts and training kick in.

Does anyone agree, or am I just pissing in the wind?

Some players say it all relies on the map itself. But for draco? nah, its all relies on skillz, baby.
