I recorded an interview with Mana this morning, talking a little bit about his Up&Down matches and of course his upcoming Code S games.
Unfortunately the background noise is a little bit louder than I expected (it get's better after a few seconds). I don't have a proper mic for the interviews but tried to reduce the background noise as much as possible.
Hope you can enjoy the video
EDIT: lol, I'm so sorry xD forgot to paste the video link into the post ^^

Roughly it would go as:
"First of all support me, it really helps a lot. Best regards go where they should go, the webpage which I am talking about, knows what I am referring to. Really not much more to say... the bald one is sitting next to me and thats all. Take care, thank you very much".
I want more of these videos, always great to see the players in a relaxed environment, rather than during interviews at events where everyone is always nerveous.
"Just keep on rooting for me. It helps a lot. Greetings to where it needs to be greeted (sic/not sure how to translate that one). This website knows what I am talking about. What can I say? Bald man sitting next to me and that is all. Take care. Thank you very much."
Best of luck MaNa. Seems like such a cool guy, hope at the very least he is really competitive with his godly terran opponents, can overcome his nerves and show some awesome games.
You've got to admit that Khaldor does a lot for the community. I'd say he does the most out of all casters for it. Ofc guys like TB, Apollo and Day[9] are great as well. Good job Khaldor!
LOL MaNa is such a troll, in the polish part the last thing he says, "what's more to add, there's a bald guy sitting next to me, cya" or something like that :D:D:D
It's mindblowing how far Khaldor has come from way back in Wc3, holy shit.. Good job dude, good fucking job
OT: Really good interview, Mana always has good answers and is an interesting case. He seems very talented, just think about what he achieved part-time, then wins DH like 2 months post full-time - He definitely still has his peak ahead of him!
By practising with prime terrans he means marineking. Taken from A recent mkp interview:
Anything else you would like to say?
I want to thank FXO's coach, Choya, Tear, San, JYP, MaNa, Creator, and Classic for practicing with me. Also, since PartinG refused to help me, I really hope he doesn't expect some kind of favor from me the next time he requests to practice with me (laughs). Lastly, I want to thank our sponsors Ttesports, and OCZ
Mana seems like a very dedicated and likeable person I'd like to see go far in Gsl. But it's really hard to vote against MVP, Taeja Mma

thanks Khaldor for the interview! it was great!! is mana staying with his bro or in the gom house??
Mana and his brother Funkay (4 Kings) is staying at the gom house.
Now a days Khaldor is in charge of the GOM house, so basically he's the one who decides which players can stay there. ATM I think its SloG, cArn, Naniwa, Mana, Funkay and Kas is going to be there soon as well.
Great stuff, thanks Khaldor! Mana I wish you all the best tomorrow, but regardless of the result, you've shown your worth on plenty occasions already, in and outside of the game!

Kas is going to Korea?? Oh my god that's going to be amazing.
OT: Love the interview Khaldor and it's nice to see you outside of casting doing things too, really shows how passionate you are about everything and you;'re a great person to have in the eSports community! :D

I THINK cArn has his own place, and can we get a source on Kas? That actually sounds fucking amazing
Hey Khaldor, I really appreciate the extra community work you put in. I also prefer these laid back interviews where you get to see a tad more personality out of these guys. Thanks. Oh and gogogo Mana!
It would be so insane if he got out, but that's probably about the hardest group he could have got! At least they're all one race, but still I can't believe his luck =/

hee got great luck. In any other group he might as well have not shown up. He got his best matchup in every match vs people with mostly bad TvP. It really would not be very surprising if he made it through.
