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.

What the fuck was so wrong with the interview that is making people cry out for NesTea?

I would also like to know what people had a problem with.

What's wrong with asking a pro player to analyse a game they played? After all, that was what virtually all the discussion after Blizzcon was actually on - what was NesTea actually doing in final game? If you can't ask that question in an interview then what can you ask?

There is a difference between asking a legitimate question, and asking the same legitimate question five fucking times because the interviewee will not give the answer you want.

It was a multitude of issues. Chrissummers summed it up nicely I believe in his post on the last page.

He repeated his first question ONCE after NesTea didn't actually answer it the first time. It seemed like NesTea simply didn't understand the question or there was a mistranslation considering how unconnected the answer was to the question so essentially repeating it while being more specific so that translation errors can't get in the way is exactly what a good interviewer should be doing.

Honestly, criticising this interview because it was ever so slightly probing about the actual games played, not some voyeuristic personal thing which is nobody's business makes me wonder what people actually want in interviews with pros.

To Slasher:

Awesome interviews. Some felt a little long. I only saw the Nestea, MVP, and MMA interviews so far, will watch some of the others later. After watching these 3, I just wanted to add a suggestion. I think you should end these interviews by asking the players for their final words, shoutouts, any messages to fans, etc.
You only live twice.

I do not know how you can count that as "repeating once". Slasher spent six minutes on that topic (out of eleven total). Where was the enthusiasm ? Where were the congratulations for winning on Shattered Temple despite close positions ? Even if you want to be controversial, why not ask about close positions allowed by Blizzard ? No, this was just endless driving of the "how could you lose" question into the wall for six fucking minutes. Like Nestea was going to say "ok I admit I threw the game away" if asked enough times...

Liked The MvP interview. Overall the Questions could use more beef. how about some Hots unit Questions?

Also why not bring your gf to interview MvP?

Again, it was two questions of a total of 11. Translation issues and stuff made it take longer. The question itself was asked to NesTea twice, therefore you can count it as happening two times. It's pretty basic maths.

It was the major talking point of the entire tournament and he didn't seem to understand the question the first time so he phrased it more specifically. How is this bad journalism?

Saying he should congratulate on second place. . .well, I guess, but that's unrelated to the first point.

aww NesTea looked so sad and had to answer the questions like why he lost....
it feels like he is trying to make nestea to admit he is just not as good as MVP and there are no other excuses

Amazing interview, good questions, and I really liked the translation. She was not afraid to ask when she was unsure, which is great so we can avoid misunderstandings. Amazing job there. (PS offtopic but, I still love Milkis translations, love that guy too!).

Hope the IM crew figures out a way to make players more comfortable traveling and playing in tournaments. We all want Nestea to feel good and in good bodyshape when playing. Best of luck Nestea

Of course it is, since it is a defeat...

You think we can get a written interview of this? It's so slow just watching for 11 min when you just could read through it in 5 or less.


Me too
I don't have the patience for all the translating

MVP's translator was way better, the girl is cute but seemed so arrogant - I know Slasher deserves arrogance but still...

NesTea looked like he was either incredibly tired or had just cried. Either way I felt very sorry for him and couldn't bear to watch the interview.
