Did Blizzard fix WC3's connection issues? If yes, I might give it another shot.

I really tried getting in WC3 a few months ago, but the gamebreaking bugs and lack of standard features (e.g. resume from replay) really put me off.

Still remember the Day 9 daily devoted to Thorzain's TvT macro build he had used to roll over the likes of Puma...

It's true, Thorzain had the gift to create, refine, and optimize builds in a way that others just couldn't replicate. The attention to detail and his surgical and clinical execution was always a pleasure for me to watch, and something I always tried to emulate in my play.

This guy is a legend, and I'm really happy that things are going well for you TZain!!

I am personally ashamed I saw this interview days after it was posted. Tfunk is one of my all time favorite players and I still sport a sig with a quote of his.

Blizzard's ineptitude costed him a win against Moon in War3 Refunded earlier this year too.

Great to hear from ThorZaIN again! His GSTL three-kill was my favorite moment (starts at 42:11).

Big fan of his, was so cool to have two high level swedish pros with such different personalities battle it out back in the day. Very glad to hear all is going well for him, I hope he can win the TSLs and Dreamhacks of his current field as well!

Indeed, that tournament was my first foray back into wc3 and that single thing made me lose all interest.

ThorZaiN!

It saddens me that you too also struggled with imposter syndrome:ish thoughts. I think a lot of the progamers "back then" did.

For what it is worth I always looked up to you as the smartest and most skilled and talented player we had in Sweden. I always tried to learn from you and I was very jealous of the way you could map out builds with such detail and how your decision making always seemed to be so crisp.

I'm glad you figured out yourself that it wasn't any luck. You were truley great! Hope you find success and joy in your medical career



You were not bad yourself Merz! This interview and reading the comments were so bitter sweet to me. Gosh I miss 2012.

And yes, there were a lot of people around not getting quite the results they could due to imposter syndrome and other physical difficulties. I am working with esport kiddos now and wanna help them with this the best I can. It has always been a main concern for me too.

Great interview!

Sad to see that for many people SC2 is only a way to escape from reality and once they find themselves they just aren't interested in this game.



I see what you mean but I do not agree with your conclusion. I have loved SC since -98 but I have had lots of ups and downs with it. Not playing for years at a time. I think it's so intense, and you put so much into it that in order to get out you have to kinda let it go for a while. But it will always drag me, and many more, back in again. It is the best game ever created imo.

It's also a scary game to get back into. You know how much time you have to spend. You also know the level you were at before and it sucks to play worse again after a long break.

It is not as simple as "just a way to escape".

TSL3 still feels like yesterday sometimes. Probably my first tournament in either SC that I watched all the way through

I was wondering why I had a feeling of déjà-vu when reading the interview.

A nice bump anyway!
