Also, I have a total crush on smix <3
Thanks for doing these interviews Hotbid! They never fail to entertain. But it looks like some people are adapting, maybe you need to work on some new strats

Naniwa has improved a lot in his interviewing skills. Like .0000001x as awkward as it used to be.

Chinroooo! Nice interviews, but I feel like he was extra-rude to NaNiWa. Good to see the king of trolls is back.

That Naniwa interview was hilarious lol

Hot Bid was suuuch a dick for the first five minutes of it, but Naniwa's last line, and the fact that Hot Bid was totally confused around 8:20-8:35 ("Are you fucking with me?") made it totally worth it.

The CatZ interview was hilarious and ridiculous... shame on Hot Bid for having a history degree and not knowing what the correct voting age is though CatZ was correct on that question.

I think that Naniwa interview was pretty nice actually. Hotbid made it OK to be awkward. And if you're a native english speaker, just imagine being interviewed by a spanish guy who is just casually talking in spanish about whatever and interviewing you in spanish and then you would have to reply to him in spanish and then have the interview viewed by a mainly spanish speaking audience who will judge whether you were awkward in the interview or not.

Of course it's not quite comparable but still, the language barrier is still there. Nevertheless I think this was actually good. Hotbid obviously interviews a non-english speaking guy in english and that non-english speaking guy replies in english and considering that Naniwa's answers were very unawkward, even though awkwardness was kind of the topic of the interview. But if Hotbid had interviewed Nani in swedish I would imagine the general audience would find it even less awkward. On Naniwa's part at least. But anyway, I like Hotbid. His interviews are always fun.

Certainly Nani is naturally a different kind of guy but give him 5 years in this environment and he will give you completely PR perfect answers in language of your choosing. But I would say those interviews will be less interesting.

I can't stop laughing at HotBid asking Vortix "did Lucifron win more than you at War3 ?"

Man, the kid won a Blizzcon !

Hotbid's key point is to interrupt his interviewee the moment when the interviewee actually has some thought that he tries to follow through and tell the story. That is kind of good and bad at the same time. It demands quite a lot of patience from the interviewee but if he has the patience it is quite good. Just watched the Jinro interview and that was very good.

I agree with that actually. But at the same time, Hotbid style requires an interviewee that doesn't get annoyed by being constantly interrupted while they are trying to answer a question. If the interviewee is perfectly OK with this then it will be awesome.

Or, if the interviewee has so poor english (assuming that Hotbid is only interviewing in english) that he can barely come up with any response then it devolves to the level that any other interviews are.

Amazes me how much people slob on HotBid's knob, it's almost sickening.... his interviews are piss poor, unprofessional and I don't find them funny. I guess it's just my opinion but I'd much rather prefer Richard Lewis or even Slasher as they do it the right way.


Some content is better than no content though, I guess.

You like hearing the kind of interviews that MLG does after every match?

What's going through your mind right now?
Do you think you can win?
How are you going to prepare for your next match?
Have you studied your opponent?
What do you think your chances are to win the whole tournament?
Who do you think is the favorite to win?

You like those? Because that's what every "professional" interview is like. And it's hard to watch, and it's not entertaining. you don't have to like Hotbid's interviews, that's entirely subjective. But I like hearing them talk about random shit, and seeing their personality and whatnot.

I love Hotbid's interviews because they're not dull and stupid. No need to be amazed that people like this kind of thing.
Refer to my post.
