I think his goal was to break the line with the broods and then come back with a massive 2nd wave of lingz.... obviously his micro fell apart on the blingz.

Has anyone here spent 14 hours on a flight and then stayed in a hotel where you don't speak the language and your having to trust random people, your sleep cycle is screwed...you consistently get bugged by people you don't know can barley understand to hangout with them.... Its his 1st time abroad.

He either got jet lagged didn't recover, or did some serious drinking and didn't recover. I really felt bad, I thought nestea look like he needed a snuggie (infomercial).

I usually don't criticize interviewers or anyone for that matter, but I really felt like these two players deserved much better questions and presentation. Sry Slasher!

I agree that Slasher's gf had difficulty translating, but at least she wasn't putting words into the mouth of MVP like the korean guy translator was doing. He was ad-libbing quite a bit to MVP's translation. It was irksome.

Slasher, your gf rox, so damn hot! She did a good job despite how little she knows about sc so props for that.

The interview with MMA, in my opinion you kinda tired him out with those type of questions. Having some more well thought-out questions would be more interesting to watch and easier to respond to for the interviewees. Some of the questions seemed too meticulous if u know what I mean.

Thanks for the interviews!

I suppose there could be some truth to it, but it's very unsportsmanlike for him to detract from MMA's brilliant play.

You cant be serious right now? You dont think mvp has some right to blame his conditions? After he is jet lagged and had to play a full day of tight gaame? Idk if youre serious or trolling

Good interviews.

The NesTea interview kind of leans me more to my suspicion that he and MVP agreed to split 1st/2nd prize pool whoever won - I really can't see anyone trying to make unusual units to "please the fans" when they're playing to decide who earns $25,000 more than the other person. Kind of disappointing really if it's true.

MVP is a boss. Interesting that he dislikes TvT. I would have loved to hear what he thinks of the marauder, because I suspect that's why he's not a fan. . .

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. 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!

I totally agree with you.

Mvp had to play so tense "real match" all day long and even MMA delay the game intentionally to distract Mvp's concentration in order to succeed his cheesy all-in in set 1. and well, good for him, it worked. Maybe it could remind Mvp of GSTL Mar final. IM vs Slayers which he had to endure such a BM intentional game delaying of slayers. That could possibly shake Mvp's mind and make his play imperfect throughout the whole series.

In game 5, fianlly Mvp played like he is no other than the original Mvp...but it was too late.

Trollk - I see the same thing. Maybe something happened to the video links on the edit. Anyway, I extracted the direct http links out of the code so you can view them using the following, if the OP doesn't change:

I think a mod needs to push a button somehow to activate the embeds

wow slasher could you have been more of a dick to nestea if you tried? That was more painful than take interviewing Naniwas after HSC3. And THAT was painful. At least take was just doing it for the sake of the tournament, it really seems like you were fiending so hard to have nestea cry on camera or something.

The other interviews were good though.

if you interview NESTEA please show more respect and interest. it is the first time for him outside of korea and you
1. keep asking useless questions like "what happenned there"
2. don't look or speak excited at all
3. talk of players/events as if Nestea should know them although it is obvious he does not. Korean sc2 players don't know alot about the foreign scene, especially someone like Nestea, who basically goes deep in every korean tourney and therefore has no time to watch a ( for him boring ) IEM China.

so just in general... try to be less american.
