No surprise here, Carmac is (was?) a great journalist in his time, has a lot of experience under his belt; Therefore, his approach to interviewing is a tad different (i.e. more professional) than what the scene grew accustomed to ("What is, like, your favourite race, lol?"). The video was properly edited, too, not just thrown online the way it came out.

Great to see you back in action, I hope to see more of your work (serious or otherwise) in the near future.

It's way more fun when you troll the players Carmac D;

Only prob is you have to interview those who don't expect it. :/

Watched it again, it made me a bit nostalgic of when carmac focused solely on interviews/content from when he worked for SK and all =(

Carmac I'm just going to say you are the best interviewer i've seen yet. Your comedy interviews are hilarious, and this is the first time ive seen a serious interview from you, and you've had some of the best questions ive heard from an interviewer yet. Very in depth and none of the fluffy stuff everyone already knows. Mad props.

IdrA still thinks protoss is overpowered? God, maybe he should acknowledge his ZvP is just bad and then he can work on not going mass roach every game. I think protoss know how to counter that by now.

Great interview btw.

I like the Idra interview. What he says about race win statistics is true - you can't use win percentages to justify balance arguments when bad players are playing better players all the time. I still don't buy into the P op thing, but he makes a very valid point.
