haha, he wants to play MorroW because he knows about the Swede's current ZvZ skills :D
But I definitely think MorroW is a beast of a player and once he gets a chance to practice with some zergs he will be dominant in that matchup like the two others.
Great Interviews! Nice to match a personality with the names.

I hope all the Koreans destroy the non Koreans so the non Koreans realize their practice regiment is what's holding them back, not their nationality.
I hope the non Koreans face stomp the Koreans so people will stop saying being Korean makes you better at video games.
Liquid Tyler fighting

wow strelok sure is salty
|
Strelok just lost a fan. His explanation was very negative and biased(although this is somewhat understandable). He's throwing assumptions left and right. He needs to go. Poor sport.
|
Obviously the players in the tournament are not too fond of having to play Koreans, seeing as they're fighting them for the prize money. However, for the spectator it makes for a much more competitive and exciting event.
|
While i like that he is willing to voice his opinions i have to disagree with Strelok. The koreans and the TL guys are the players im excited to see playing, you often dont notice it because both players have less stuff but the koreans are much more refined on the whole. I do think players like MC are going to suffer in TVP for example though as he is so dependent on perfect force fields which is impossible cross server.

HYPE HYPE HYPE
TSL2 was awesome and this will be no different. Go foreigners! Let's upset some koreans!
|
Thank you so much for the interviews! I love all of the content we're getting for TSL3! <3
I'm quite amused that Strelok made a comment about answering a part of a question "Korean-style" and then FruitDealer pretty much answered every single question in the same way with that type of expected answer, lol.
I partly agree with Strelok, but I think that TSL was aiming to be more than just a "Western" tournament, so he's not entirely looking at it from the right perspective.
Very worried about BoxeR. Like everyone else, I want him to win really badly because . . . well . . . he's BoxeR! But + Show Spoiler +going down to Code A makes me worry a lot about his current skill level and level of preparedness.

FruitDealer is so nice and restrained (two or more in top four) haha. GL to all players!

Yeah, they seem to have their superiority complex crushed by cold hard facts. Strelok is being a B@¢¤@
``The foreigners aren`t so far away, we`re on par``
''They should have this a non-asian community tournament''
Man, first and foremost, that`s a contradicting statement, and also, what does that mean, a non asian tournament?? If SelecT or KawaiiRice or Sjow whose half asian qualify,what happen? They`re not from Asia but they`re asian? A bigotted statement, that`s all it is. The community is based on the Korea SC culture. All the slangs are from Korean reference, you want to take them all as well to replace them with whiter terms maybe?
When you read Fruit`s interview, you see the difference: A guy who`s hard on himself, and not a slacker with talent. It`s always the same thing. Guillaume Patry, he was the most talented guy in the begining of SC:BW, he made me think of Tyler in fact (Well, it;s the opposite but whatever), both werent practicing enough, and when the hardworking AND talented guy started to appear, he faded away after a year or so.
Strelok`s gonna get crushed, utterly. I read Fruit`s word and man, you got to like a guy like that. Props to Thorzain for being humble in his skills as well.
Fruitdealer fighting!! And Tyler,crush that Chobo.

I tend to agree with Strelok actually.. too many Korean invites, I would probably prefer a strictly "foreigner" tournament
I think the only problem with that is then it feels like you're not inviting the best of the best. I understand the sentiment of wanting to watch more foreign players, but i think a tournament loses some "credibility" in terms of being a globally competitive tournament if it doesn't include koreans. Perhaps there are too many korean invites but then again quite a few of them are foreigners in korea so i don't think it's Too bad.

Great interviews! Man the guys putting on the TSL really know how to hype a tourney up!
|
Plssss!!! Let it be less than 3 Koreans in top4!!!
|
Aww I felt sorry for FruitDealer in that interview. Just kept putting himself down 
You'll do just fine in TSL3 mate FruitDealer fighting!

Uh what? Strelok didn't say anything about non-Koreans being on par with Koreans. You just made up a quote and then claimed that it contradicts his wish for a non-Asian tournament.

Just because of Strelok's stupid comments, I'm hoping for this tournament to be dominated by Koreans. Foreigners moved to SC2 because they saw that they would finally have equal footing with the Koreans and more money potential, but now that the Korean practice regime is finally starting to show results (i.e., IEM, FXOpen), people are calling for tournaments that exclude Koreans because they're afraid of it being like BW all over again

Don't really care much for Strelok now after reading his interview. I'm hear to watch the TSL to see the BEST players in the world compete. If I really wanted to see subpar non-Korean players compete I'd go watch one of the many, many insignificant and boring tournaments out there. I stopped watching the majority of foreigner tournaments months ago simply because the games were utterly terrible. TSL is special because it wants to have the absolute best players, with a meaningful prize pool, and stellar production.
|
not to derail or anything but i completely agree with strelok. the appeal of the BW TSLs for me was having a tournament with a lot of money for the best non-koreans with an unmatched production quality for its time. i'm really gonna feel bad if koreans wreak havoc on this tournament
|
Strelok didn't get it...
what makes TSL even more special is that you can see foreigners vs koreans. if it was only about foreigners, it wouldn't be that much awesome.
|
You guys sure know how to hype an event! Fantastic interviews! With the element of surprise I think Thorzain v FD series might actually be really entertaining. Since at times FD is his own worst enemy anyways.
Our protoss hero feeling confident and clearly knows how to practice for this event is ready to stomp Strelok. Which is great because after that interview by Strelok, I'm not a fan.
