Woot. Both players deserve it, but I'm voting Draco. Practice time or no practice time, I think the ladder part of the TSL was enough "practice" to get him back into form.

Exactly. For a former progamer, playing SC has got to be like riding a bike. 100+ ladder matches could be enough to get back to the level of being able to defeat other top foreigners. The only thing he might need to practice would be player-specific builds, but instead he is using generic macro-oriented builds that obviously aren't designed to counter a specific player's style, so there isn't much of a need to train for each upcoming match.

Nice interview. As well good selected questions as good answers from the players. I think the point about this Draco controversy was from the begining that it was a bit offensive when you imagine you are in the place of the other participants and are taking everything serious. This liar / none liar discussion sucked from the beginning and leads to nowhere anyway.

With this little bit of more insight there is less area that players feel offended or spectators do not believe. Thanks for this and GL to both players.

Are there going to be interviews for the 3rd/4th place match?

Anyway, hoping for JF to win, hes such a monster. I hope to see a 50 kill Reaver or something out of him.

Nice Interviews thanks!!
I like both players , so I don't really care who wins it.

I would have loved to read brat_ok and nony's reactions and thoughts about their game too though.

Again with the e-drama. Honestly, who cares? Since when did it become an obligation to say "good game" to your opponent. What if you're not happy with how the game went--you have to say it anyway? This reminds me of everyone getting upset at Draco for answering honestly about whether he practices--like it would be more manner to lie? If you have to say gg no matter what, then it is nothing more than an empty formality, and that is just a waste of words.

No one has made an "E-drama" out of this, don't be ridiculous.
It's a widely accepted standard to say GG when you surrender (actually it is even part of the TSL rules). Not really anything to get pissed about, but I find it noteworthy nonetheless.

Yeah... gg has become sort of a standard practice now - not only do you see it after matches but in many sports and things they will do the same procedure regardless of whether they enjoyed / felt the game was good or not. Therefore (well, I already was anyways) I'm rooting for Brat_OK for 3rd, voting Draco for 1st place just because I feel he has a slight technical advantage but nonetheless, as it was noted several times, PvP is a very back and forth matchup so it can go either way! Good luck JF and Draco, hope to see some entertaining games :D (hopefully build suspense up to 5th game with scored tied at 2-2, that would be really exciting hehe)

GOGO TSL :D

well I know it's become standard, but I never liked the idea of having to say something that you don't mean just to be "polite". Then again, what do I know about etiquette--I still put my elbows on the table.
