just found this interview and don't think it has been posted here before

the interview was held shortly after his semifinals match by the german sc2 commentator HomerJ

really nice interview especially because dimaga is in it :D
i love this guy


two very interesting things:

1. they talk about how dimaga played against TLO at the blizzard booth!
i didn't even hear about that but i guess there won't be replays =(


2. dimaga said: "especially for this guy i don't switch to terran!" when they talk about the guy with the dimaga and zerg signs in the crowd

you, sir, are a hero!

Over the course of the IEM Dimaga has become my absolute favorite player ever for being such a nice guy and such a sick zerg, and I'm so glad he's decided not to switch to Terran now.

Thank you hero-dimaga-fan with the sign! Voice of the people.

After seeing this guy at the IEM, he is my new favourite zerg for sure. Such a likeable guy, and it was fun watching him win, and rage a bit mid-game. He seems so happy :D

Man Dimaga is awesome. Wishing everyone health because that is the number one priority? Finally someone who understands what life is about and enjoying it to the fullest while it lasts!

I just became a fan.

Dimaga actually went and sat down with that guy with the DIMAGA sign in the crowd after his 3rd place match. Seemed like a really awesome dude.

Wow I love him. Especially because of the whole "health"/"nice life in my city" thing. Even though he's a gamer, he manages to keep in touch with actual life. He's got so much more charisma than Idra who constantly has this arrogant look on his face.

Dimaga made it seem like He's in some happy little rural place where if he leaves the farm will collapse and the townspeople will be in a famine.

dimaga is easily my favourite zerg after the IEM. Still an idrA fan though.

His eternal smile and outbursts when he wins are just a joy to watch. Best of luck in future tournaments dimaga. I'll be cheering for you =).

Its a cool guy, but, after all the "I change to Terran" drama, then he stays the same

I hope we wont hear more "change race" dramas in the future

I get the feeling that Dimaga did better than he thought he would do in the IEM, and I don't see him switching away from Zerg now. At least, I hope he doesn't.

The Anti-Idra... Mannerwise.

I got the luck to meet him on IEM when he came down to us after we cheered for him. Such a nice guy and a huge talent.

he does the same in SC2. He doesnt gg out until theyre in his main killing his last hatch.
Maybe thats what made him so good?
taught him how to defend well with inferior forces?

Entertaining and relaxed interview. Diamaga and TLO are really the nicest guys in SC2.

Such nice guys really make me care about SC2. If all guys were unfriendly and boring like IdrA eSports would be dead.

I don't think terran is OP. It's just that zerg players haven't figure out how power this race is yet. Rarely see burrowing flanks. Nydus worms. in pro scene..
