Thanks for the interview! MVP so humble, he shouldn't belittle himself so much, he pulls better results than almost all Ts, despite wrist and neck problems. Interesting what he says about Byun, I mean I always considered him underrated, but I wouldn't have put him on the same high level as Taeja. Curious if we'll see some big breakthrough by Byun in the future.

Taeja such a boss, why does he have to switch mice? He was always a logitech mouse and razer keyboard user, did the team force him to?
I think a lot of the Koreans used to use the Logitech G7x. But now, it is razer or steelseries. The reason is the sponsorship. And for these players, they practice so much that they can get used to it quickly and won't really hinder their performance.

Ro16 is round-robin I believe. Nestea going through to ro8 would probably only be possible in some weird tie-breaker situation between NesTea, Oz and Fantasy.

We try to find a good period for players to switch and in TaeJa's case that has been difficult because he was always busy winning tournaments.
Seriously love this interview.

"Truth be told, in my current state, I think I'm probably ranked around 60th in GSL. Basically, there are about 50ish players that are better than me right now (laughs)."
lol Mvp xD
Maybe a teensy bit humble there.

Was thinking the same :S.
Btw, I think Nestea is not out: if Last wins his remaining matches (3-0), Nestea can force a 3way tie by beating Oz in his last match. I THINK.

How are TvZs these days?
It's a lot better than TvPs right now. In TvZs, the better player wins.
interesting...

I know he's in a tough situation but I really hope he makes it to the Ro8. (eh? Isn't NesTea already eliminated? http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2012_OnGameNet_Starleague_Season_1/Round_of_16) I want to thank my parents for always cheering for me. Lastly, I want to thank our sponsors LG, Steelseries, Googims, Nvidia, and Coca-Cola.
Actually, wikipedia is wrong. He is not eliminated. There can still be a three-way tie if last goes 3-0 and everyone else is 1-2.

Mvp sounds pretty troubled about his recent form, I really wish he'd skip some of the events that are less important and tend to his health.
(Also regarding the OSL and NesTea; NesTea is basically out, the only way he gets through is if Last goes 3-0 against Oz and Fantasy, then it's tiebreakers).

Yes, Nestea needs to beat Oz and Last to beat both Oz and Fantasy.

No razer mouse is good for relatively smaller hands, I was sitting next to taeja in Dh summer and thank god for his g9 i was able to convince the admins that their computers sucked. I have bough abyssys and used it for like 10 minutes and put it away. Also used deathadder/mamba design. Anything else worth trying?

Well, he is out of WCG. So he has GSL,OSL, and GSTL which are all pretty important.

Byun and Symbol were about to breakthrough last season but were their quests were stamped on by Seed who stepped on them to climb towards his current status.

i dont think its the first time? everybody posted in your threads^^

Right now TaeJa is the favourite to win this GSL. Truth be told he can probably win the entire tournament without dropping another map.

Jinro and Zenio play with a DeathAdder, everyone else on Liquid has the abyssus. There's a new mouse Taipan that may be good for small hands too, but I haven't tried it yet. If you didn't like those then probably not.

These two are such fucking bad asses.
Old Guard, and new prodigy and they talk like they know it too.
I'm so happy these two advanced out of this group, what a night of good matches we had.

I would say he is ONE of the favorites but we still have a lot of strong players left like Seed, Symbol, MKP, Squirtle, etc. And I think Code S is too stacked nowadays to not drop a map.
