If anyone has questions for the players of TSL 8, please post them in this thread or tweet them to @TLNet and we’ll pick our favorites! If your question is chosen, we’ll enter you into a raffle to win your very own Secretlab chair once TSL 8 ends!
Remember, we’re looking for fun and unique questions that can be asked during the interviews!
You get/have to play an Archon match against GM level players. Which caster would you want on your team? (TY doesn't count as a caster)
In your opinion, what is the most iconic moment in SC2 (going back as for as WoL?)
Who would you most like to see return to the pro SC2 scene?
Any particular location you would hope hosts an offline tourney?
What unknown/up and coming players are you aware of that the scene should watch out for?
When would you say you really "made it" as a progamer? Meaning when did you look around and think "so this is my life now?"
Would you ever consider being an SC2 coach after you retire?
What's the most general piece of advice you would give to someone that wants to raise their MMR? What would you say to someone that's plateaued and frustrated with where they're at?
What kind of show match would you like to be a part of? (FFA, archon, teams, special rules like TL attacks, mono battles, a tournament with hidden identities etc.)
Who would win in an archon 1v1, your family or [player's] family?
What do you think the SC2 professional scene needs right now more than anything? Ex: Funding, fan engagement, Proleague revival, Korean involvement, teamleagues in general, more new players at the high level, etc.
Are specific players questions allowed or why is everyone posting non specific players questions?
For koreans: If you started your career a few years later, would you still choose Starcraft 2 or would you have chosen League of Legends or much later Overwatch? For non-koreans (kinda same but...): If you started your career a few years later, would you still choose Starcraft 2 or would you have chosen League of Legends/DOTA2/CS:GO or much later Fortnite?
Also: For koreans: do you think Korean was so dominant in StarCraft because of the infrastructure / teamhouses etc., and/or because of PC bangs, and/or because competition is present even at school, compared to other countries where it's not the case? For non-koreans: do you think region locking helped the foreign scene catch up to koreans to some extent? and/or you think the gap would be closing at a similar pace anyways because there is no new blood in the korean scene whereas there is some in the foreign scene?
A King of Battles interview on day 1 was very interesting. It was the first time I saw a language barrier interview that went long and both the player and the casters were laughing and smiling. I think the question about whether or not the player liked its anime redemption arc was a good start. It was a personal question that also joked.
I think personalized questions really are better than generic questions, but they are harder to just pick from a forum.
A special question for Time, feel free to rephrase it if you want:
''The Chinese Starcraft 2 fans sometime give nicknames to certain players or have some meme around someone, like with INnoVation. Are you aware of any nicknames or memes around other players from the chinese scene and the story around it?
