The thing is that you don't undurstand my attitude at all. That's not like I feel better than anyone here. I don't care if you say that I'm worse than all other players in TSL but I do care when someone says that I lie. I'm not going to spend my time for the interviews which after all will be judged as a lie. I was asked few questions in the interview and I honestly answered, also when I said that for me it was funny to win Strelok without any practice. Did you want me to lie and say that I had played for example 50 games before the match against him? That would show the "manner" in your opinnion?
I already said in one of the interviews that I don't participate in this tournament because I want to prove something. I play it only because of money. You and the whole tl.net community may hate me if you don't accept my honest answers and I won't care, not because I feel better than any of you but because I don't care anymore about anything related with StarCraft. That's why I don't see anymore arguments to still show the perfect public manner when some people calls me a "dick", "jerk" or whatever else (just an examples).
you should have add gg no re at the end

jf will eat draco alive if they are playing together

"IefNaij said his heart was beating so fast when he was playing down 0-1."
I remember when i stared playing on some ladder awhile back, I had some tough games and my heart beat so much I thought i would get a heart attack. I know how jf feels when you have to deal with so much pressure. It makes me play better atleast.

at least jf is being honest -)

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.
He had to play a lot inorder to qualify for top 48 spot. For top 16, even more so. 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. 
In his interview, I thought he was exaggerating too, but then he jumped in later to strongly confirm it. That's enough for me to believe him. I guess that's the huge skill difference between foreigners and semi-pro.

LOL @ all the draco controversy. Maybe he practices, but he says he doesn't so why shouldn't we believe him? At this skill level it is possible for anyone to win and preparation is not everything. Draco may just be great at pulling out wins when he needs them.
I do I really hope draco is 3-0'ed in the Ro8 and the Ro4 interviews his opponent says "Well, I guess Draco should have practiced some."  It would just be too funny.

Given Idra's result in Courage that may be true. If it is, then it stands to reason that a skilled foerigner who has had the opportunity to train with the Koreans for an extended time would have an advantage over other foreigners. Draco won the tournament in China (PGL?) which featured a few Korean semipros and made it to the semis of his Courage league. He beat Midas and nearly beat iloveoov in WCG. The ladder stage was probably all the practice he needed to get into the kind of shape where he can pull off a 2-0 of even a great player like Strelok. It's certainly not impossible.
I guess by that same logic, Idra should be even more of a force to be reckoned with by the time TSL2 rolls around.

No need to look for other meaning in the player's interviews guys. Just read and enjoy.
GL to all in the Ro8.

Haha, how is that even possible?

hrhrh he simply likes to be regarded as a player who doesn't need to practice in order to own the shit out of everyone, no matter wether his statements on practicing are true or not. you may call it an inferiority complex, you might not care at all. no big deal. in any case, he's more than just slightly favored to take it all now that mondi is gone.
i personally wouldn't mind seeing him finishing first, after all he's an awesome player.

Well the funny thing is that there are people making a big deal out of it on both sides. When you say something controversial in a public interview its the normal way that it is discussed and a discussion for itself is not a bad thing. Some people just may should questioning things more smoothly at first.
But when on the other hand then some defenders come and put in everyone who is questioning / criticizing their fav players the intention that they "spew shit" or use terms like "pussies" they should know that they making a bigger deal out of it themselves too and depending from which side you are looking from they could be seen as pussies or whiners too. the way like every criticism can kill somebody and the comment function is reserved for 24/7 asslicking.
But at all I appreciate that nothing is one-sided and when you read different versions from people its easier to understand the point of the other one. I just think Draco could be a bit less sensitive in forums. If he would be more calm and didnt expect the worst case like maybe "everyone here accuses me of beeing a liar" or other things in this direction it would walk more smoothly too. But I clarify now this is only one small hint and not a big deal.

great interviews. I think Draco is totally luying about him not practicing, hes probably practicing 24/7 considering the prizes are soo good!

only one way to find out.
