I hope you guys enjoy finding out more about one of the foreign scene's new talents! (Apologies for posting this so late!).

Spacemarine had a great run at DH eventually falling to Solar and Jakji in the final group stage:

Loved the story about what meeting your practice partner is like.

2-0ing MC is no easy feat. I wonder how the games went.

I would recommend a less aggressive title, especially considering that PvP is known as the most random match-up and the fact that he won a single game in the first group stage and went out 0-4 in the third. Also this article is supposed to be about introducing an new and upcoming foreign talent, putting MC's name in the title, before the actual subject of the interview, suggests that without his involvement there would be no interest in the interview.

Not sure if aggressive is the word you're searching for.

Spacemarine hasn't got nearly as much coverage for his results as I believe he deserves, it was an incredibly stacked tournament where many good performances were lost in the mix of over 20 Koreans all playing sick games at one 3-day event. I don't believe too many of the less hardcore fans would have heard of Spacemarine yet. So yes, I put an impressive result agaimst a fan favourite leading the header to get peoples attention before introducing and getting to know Spacemarine. I don't think it's unreasonable to think there would be much more interest if I post it this way. It doesn't mean I think there would be no interest, but there definitely wouldn't be as much, and I want as many people as possible to meet this young talent on the scene.

Also what do you mean he won a single game in the first group stage? He topped his group only dropping one map to myself, and he lost a close 1-2 set to Patience in the second group stage before 2-0'ing MC and Maddelisk to make it to Group stage 3. He was eliminated 0-4 to JAKJI and the guy who 3-0'd SOO in the finals, Solar.

It wasn't just 1 game in a volatile matchup, stop trying to steal the validity of his result.

I have to admit that "Spacemarine interview" wouldn't have caught my eye. If you can advertise someone by his accomplishments, why shouldn't you do it? TL.net itself often says "Dreamhack winner interview" or "GSL Ro4 Interview" instead of putting names in headlines (not the best comparison, but it's kind of sufficient).

Your post feels more salty about MC losing than real constructive criticism :/

cool to see him do well. remember i thought he was a very solid player on the ladder and in a couple prac matches (before he got this good). wish i could remember the name of the clan it was in... some croatian guy ran it.

also exchanged rage with this CHEESER NOOB. good interview, cool content, cheers pig. (the sound is a bit weird though).

also wasnt this the guy who used to play terran every now and again and go mass marines?
used to piss me off that i lost to this stupid strat, but then i remember he took out tlo from a tournament using it,
and i felt better about myself.

also great title.
