Edit: Thanks for the comments guys, both the praise and criticism. I think NesTea/MVP interviews went relatively well considering the circumstances, and yeah even tried using Quantic/IM's personal manager/translator for MVP. Yeah MMA was probably too long and not diverse enough questions, sorry about that. Sophie's been reading the comments and she enjoys them too! You can thank her/say hello to her on twitter if you'd like: http://www.twitter.com/sprigeri
With the BW news/Fomos article that just hit, one of my favorite quotes is MVP near the end of the interview. "Will you be able to stay at the top if the BW players switch over?" - MVP: "I am the king. Come find me." Lets see if he can hold to that!
Hey guys, MLG has finally uploaded two interviews I did with NesTea and MVP directly after the BlizzCon finals were over.
Wanted to put some perspective with the interviews. They were both extremely tired, especially NesTea, and they both had to do StarNation interviews before I got to them as the very last media they had to do before they went to eat. I was also the only 'english' interview they did after the finals. Considering the funky last game and the series overall, mixed with Destiny's own comments to me upstairs before I did the interview, I wanted to try and push the issue with both players without accusation, which is why I pushed NesTea a bit. The answers both players gave are a bit interesting, along with NesTea's answer later in the interview regarding wanting to make it a good show for the crowd. Take the answers as you wish surrounding the final.
As for the translator, Sophie is my Korean girlfriend who I brought to BlizzCon to show off the great experience of the event, and to show the GSL Finals in person (which I've showed her multiple times). She played Starcraft when she was younger so she knows T/P/Z but not she's really a gamer nor know much of this eSports world that I've introduced her to, so I tried teaching her as much as I could about SC/Brackets/Point Systems/Unit names but it's rather difficult in just a few days. So if anyone has any problems with asking of specific questions or answers, blame me! Be nice to Sophie she did a great job :D.
Additionally for those who missed it, interviews with MMA, DRG, Carmac, Chris Sigaty, David Kim and others throughout the event. For the MMA that wasn't in the video interview, he told me he delayed the start of GSL because of his all-in Game 1, and did not want MVP to hear the crowd. Enjoy!
Slasher: "WHY THE HELL DID YOU THROW THAT GAME VS MVP? WHAT HAPPENED MAN" Nestea: "i dunno he just better player i try put on good show.." Slasher: "NO BUT SERIOUSLY WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT GAME?" Nestea: "i was tired and mvp best starcraft player in world"
He threw away a game/series he could have easily taken. (Because he was against a team-mate) I used to have all the respect in the world for Nestea but after seeing that i'm really iffy. If you really care about your fans you play a game that's good and don't just roll over... They basically said fuck blizzcon this is a joke.

Sorry, but thats not confirmed at all. Stop making Nestea about to be a god. He could have been on tilt or tired, or whatever.
Just because someone plays a bad game doesn't mean they through it, wtf guys.
