Hi! a couple of weeks ago I asked people here on TL for which players they wanted to see interviews with from Dreamhack, a lot of you wanted to see interviews with Koreans but unfortunately I couldn't get in contact with any translator so instead I tried to get as many interviews with community favorites and some less know players instead.
Here is the first of about 5 or 6 interviews from Dreamhack, (the rest should be released really soon)
I'm pretty new to the whole interviewing thing and would love to hear any and all feedback, good or bad I don't care just want to know what to improve!
Also big thanks to Team prOperty that allows me to go to events here in Sweden and do video interviews like these. http://teamproperty.net/ (website is in Swedish)
U seem really nervous^^. I read what your wrote, you are new to it, but still, Reeelax^^.
Also, try some follow up questions. It feels like your are sticking to a script in your head, where you just check of all the question you want to ask, but maybe try and listen to the answer and have a real dialouge.
U did very well in picking the interview partner^^! Gogo WhiteRa

Haha yeah its really hard to relax when I know that I'm sitting next to one of my favorite player, but ill guess that problem goes away after some more experience
And you are totally correct when it comes to having a list in my head that I went trough :/ I've have had problems in the past of not really remembering questions but ill try to relax more and actually get a flow in the interview instead of going trough that list then ^^

Thanks for the feedback!
I think it's fairly common for an interviewer to have a list of questions in front of them. You could just have a paper with an outline of all the points you want to hit in the interview available to glance at for reference.
I imagine the nerves have to do with not asking any follow-up questions and like you said, that just requires experience to get over.
That was a terrible beginning, you should prepare a little more.
Not knowing when Grubby went out and whom he faced, thus admitting you haven't bothered watching the games at all is rather insulting, I think. The next questions totally tanked because you had different opinions than him, but that's hardly your fault.

hmm maybe ask him if he has shoutouts? I think they normally like that
