best. interview. ever. Hot_Bid is such a baller, as well as an awesome observer. loved the shoutout to the Global Observer Directory (GOD), but my favorite response was:
How hard is it to keep synced up with the casters?

I must say it is very challenging to stay synced with casters. When Day9 says "if you take a look at MC's base," I have to quickly switch to MC's base. These types of instructions may be confusing to an inexperienced observer, but for an observering veteran like myself, I can accomplish this with no problem.
For he is the Oystermeister, lord of all the oysters.

Thank you, Sir Hot_Bid for all your hard work at becoming handsome, attractive, and not unattractive.

I must know, if it does not violate union rules, if most of your practice comes on a handsomeness ladder of some form or primarily through custom attraction games?

Well played sir, well played.

In the beginning of the game, I would show the top right player's workers mining in the top right. In fact, I might even show the bottom left's player's workers mining. But I will not show a position that does not have a player there because there is nothing happening.


*Takes notes*
My obsing has been way off.

You’re reddit-famous for a sick shout-out, how did you even think of doing that?

What shoutout are they discussing? I'm unfamiliar with it, could someone fill me in here?

He basically spelled out R E D D I T by highlighting the letters from buildings in the early game =D Very creative way to do a shout-out, and got quite a bit of attention over at r/starcraft
