EPTI had the pleasure of interviewing Vincent "Optimus" Klerks, the terran player hailing from the Netherlands.
For a lot of us following the EU-Scene his name should sound familiar.
I encourage you to listen to this interview to get to know him better.
Young, dedicated and smart!
We talked about his history in SC2, his plans for this and next year and obviously about Battlecruisers, the new patch any many more things!
Timestamps further down.
Enjoy!
