To Maru: Do you have any really off meta builds that you've designed that you use only for amusement that may not be best to use competitively? If so, tell us about them.

To Rogue:Because, you have been in so many championships and so many crazy situations.. that I have to ask when you're playing in a final for example you're defending multiple attacks and a lot is happening, do you just know what to do in this exact situation as a reflex or are do you contemplate any decisions? And does it depend on the race that you're playing against?

What is the strangest thing that happened to you in your career? (Hoping for more stories like Drogo's cult initiation here.)
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

-Delievering the best performance is necessary in being a pro, but when you have a bad day, what do you always tell yourself to rise back up?
-Among the 4 features in a map, what do you don't like the most?: Acceleration zones, slow zones, Zel'naga towers, or -the Rocks?
-If you were to create a map, how many safe bases could each player take?

To Dark:
Could you share us the experience you had and the thoughts on your mind when you accomplished winning two ESL Cups in one week.

To Maru:
As a player who has a good reputation in TvZ, what mindset should a terran have when playing the matchup?

To Trap:
If you were given a chance to change your race, what would it be?
How would you compare your style in playing the game before compared to now?
Could you compare your current team to your old team?

It is time. The RTS gods have decided to bestow your race with the ability of a unit from another race. Select a unit from one of the other two races. Transfer one of its abilities to a unit from your own race. Which Franken-Unit would you add to your army?

My own (horrible) ideas:
Blink-Ultras (Zerg): A combination of Ultralisks with the Stalker's Blink ability.
Tactical Jump Prism (Protoss): Warp Prisms can now use the Battlecruiser ability to teleport anywhere on the map.
Burrow Move Siege Tanks (Terran): You think you're safe, when suddenly...TANKS!

Describe the playstyle of your opponent in one word - and then explain why you chose this word.

You get to change the design of one of your units to make it more powerful. What do you do?

Examples:
Burrowed Banelings automatically detonate when enemy units step on them. (Zerg)
Warp Prism gets an attack. (Protoss)
Thor is replaced by Warhound. (Terran)

To Rogue, Zest and Trap:


With impending military service that seem unavoidable, do you ever consider to apply the BTS and Faker law based on your recent achievements to extend your mandatory age up till 30 or leaving to the government to decide on behalf of you?

I. Would you rather go back and experience life in 1998, which is the release of brood war, or back in 2010, which is the release of StarCraft 2.
II. If you were to create your own StarCraft 2team and be the head coach, how would you train your students?
III. Would you change one thing in the game?
IV. When you are playing a tournament, would you rather have 200 ping or play the tournament after midnight?
V. How do you think about the game or develop strategies when ping is involved compared to playing at LANS?

For the lower bracket players:
Would you say that playing making the Grand finals be a Best of 7 games is too tiring? What are your thoughts?

To any P/Z - can you pick a movie that has similar viewer experience as watching the current PvZ matchup?
(My pick is Human Centipede.)
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.
