Thanks for the translation - it's a great interview! ^_^

Very glad to hear that Cool's got some heart back in him after his victory and as a result of the patch. I hope that it stays with him for the remainder of the tourney. We need to see some serious Zerg fighting!

Oh Cool, I also agree that the Ultralisk bug vs buildings is not "bad at all" ^_______^.

The whole series was entertaining.


Not really, the second game was very poorly thought out cheese and in the third game the Terran played VERY poorly after the first 5 minutes (Cool even mentions how he just turtled with Thors and didn't upgrade/expand/pressure).


Why poorly played in game 2? He would have made huge damage if only terran didn't make blue flame hellions.


Yeah, I'd say it was very well played by Cool, but oGsTop just had great game sense to expect Ling/Bling play and upgrade blue flame after seeing that Cool didn't expand.

I wish Rainbow would leave Startale and join TSL. (maybe if he eliminates Tester, he'll receive such an offer)

I'm glad to hear Cool is staying Zerg. Looks like he regained his "cool" after all. :D
Also, many thanks for the translation!

EDIT: Gotta give that double baneling nest roach warren build a try!
I don't Micro, I FEMTO. That's 9 orders of magnitude more extreme.

Wow, it's surprising that even some of the pros don't seem to realize this affects large units and has affected large units since release.


Its not bug for units , it is supposed to be like this . As cool said , bug is only on buildings .

Well it's an accepted bug for units more like it. Obv. the aoe should be centered around the ultra, but it's rather nitpicking compared to how crazy it is vs buildings.

Anyway nice interview, though I think this should teach us to stop listening to zerg threats of rerolls, or at least if it's so sudden threat

In any case, glad people like Cool aren't giving up on zerg, sc2 will surely be better with 3 races played and I dare say zerg playerbase being smaller than T/P, they need all the pros they can get to innovate strats/BOs.

The game 3 says nothing about balance. TOP must have been extreamly nervous as he had maby 10 options to harass or do a streight up attack and just win. TOP could have just gotten couple of medivacs and started dropping his thors on ledges and sealed the win right there.

Also not upgrading those thors was stupid misstake.

Its sad that cool needs to rely on his opponent not playing good to be able to win, cool himself had to play extreamly risky in game 3 to be able to take it...

I do think the imbalance lies more in the maps though, blizzard needs to either make maps where its easier to defend the natural, or we need some nerfs on the gazillion of harass methods they got.

Why would you balance to bad maps????

Bliz needs to let other people's maps be played, like BW. Bnet2 is the worst thing they did to try to clamp down on SC2.

Minor nitpick... Could you please include the winner's screenname with the picture? I read the whole article and still had no clue who won until I got to the comments.

Thanks for the translation.

I hope cool will improve his muta micro...then he will really be an unstoppable force

really nice seeing OL drops from him too, since we almost never seen them in normal Z play...I think finally things are "opening up" for Z as he says in the interview
