S1 Finals Interviews & Photos



With WCS America about to finish out the season, we headed over to the finals with Hot_Bid in tow to ask the usual set of questions. Ranging from serious to inane, we take a look inside the psyche of progamers and casters to find out who they really are behind the screen. Oh, sometimes we talk about StarCraft too.

Day Two Interviews


Liquid`HerO
WCS America Champion HerO talks about his first big win in 2013.



AX.Alicia
Video Pending

Day One Interviews


Nv.mOOnGLaDe
Listen as everybody's favorite Australian tells the rest of us what it's like living in the treacherous land of kangaroos and Crocodile Dundee and what his time in Glorious America has been like the past few days. Learn useful Australian slang!



Rotterdam and MrBitter
The BitterDam pair sat down with us in a cafe to discuss their daily lives, the new and exciting World of Tanks, and who they think will win WCS America (as well as all of season 1). We also take a long detour to talk about dating philosophies, including a look at a complex situation Rotterdam apparently had recently with a lady.

Interview with moonglade is the best interview ever done by TL

Bitterdam interview is excellent!
The first link of chain forged, the first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

I was laughing so hard at the Bitterdam interview that my wife was asking me if I was alright
The weirdest thing was them talking about that tank game, like slaves being asked if they like their work, poor guys.

Imagine sipping a beer in a club/bar when suddenly le wild Stephano and Rotterdam appear and start assaulting the dancefloor.
On a different note, a dating show for nerds with Kevin and "GM Tasteless" would be epic as fck.

I guess Hot_Bid was thinking either of Jaz_Bas or MaFIa with MaFia attending 2012 WCS World Championship and Jaz_Bas attending BlizzCon 2011.

Of course Jaz_Bas is from New Zealand but at least he was in US Tournament at least once.

So each region has their own trophy style. Strange. I thought it was all WCS sanctioned by Blizzard.

Great interview with HerO! Such a great kid. Too bad about the WCS AM format, I would have loved to have seen him do some sort of ceremony.

HerO fighting!
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

Interesting how Hero in his interview holds the can so that every can read the "NOS" label. If he was actually drinking from the can he'd hold it so that the opening would directly face him.

That's a very common thing you often find in product placement situations.
