Fantastic interview, I kept thinking I was going to skip parts and ended up watching the entire thing instead. I barely knew Paul before this (but really liked what I saw at Cologne), and I'd never seen Thorin at all, so this was a very pleasant surprise.
Turns out that Paul is a great interview subject, very eloquent, knowledgeable, and candid. My respect for him has definitely gone up. And I'm pretty impressed by Thorin's approach, too. Knows both how to steer the conversation and when to "shut the fuck up." Didn't expect such good journalism in esports TBQH.
For those that have seen other interviews in the series, have any of them been this good?

Paul knows how to handle the camera and is a very likable person!
Reflections has always been pretty good. Depending on the person, offcourse. Paul is a very good interviewee, Naniwa, the previous one, has a bit awkward. It was still fun to watch, don't get me wrong, but not as... smooth..?

I'd check through the Leaguepedia's for episodes of Reflections, as well as the precursor to it, Grilled.

Some of the ones I can recommend of the top of my head are the ones with Naniwa (one Grilled and one Reflections), his interview with Griff from ESL (Grilled), the one he did with Chobra about Korean culture (Grilled), his Reflections with Jaedong and finally his two-part Relfections with Carmac.

Redeye is my favorite guy in e-Sports! No-one else comes even close!
|
is it possible to find this on itunes? I would to listen to this at work
|
The story of Riot not letting Redeye get involved with LoL, due to him not being female.
For some reason I read this as "Riot not letting Redeye get involved with LoL, due to him being female" had to do a double take. Can't view this now but will definitely give it a watch later.

I did not catch who is Artosis, can someone point that person out? (I mean the end where he describes famous e-sport people using sport persons so please, do not link Artosis himself  ))
hough I watch sports I prefer my language over English(but sometimes even the mute button is better than the Czech commentator ><). Thanks!

Around 12 minutes - yes, please, PLEASE more dead air, less pointless play by play (I can fucking SEE he's killing an overlord, this is not radio) and more pleasant voice tone with less unnecessary inflections (we need more 2GDs ).

I have just watched an interview he gave to TeamLiquid last month, and now there is more! ReDeYe best interviewee ever!
|
The ending of the part of riot not letting him be the host, lol xDD
I never watched these "reflections" things, but I liked it, it's a bit different approach from other interviews, and I'm going to watch some more of them.
thank you TL
