Since your mechanics are admittedly inferior.... what do you attribute your sucsess to be based on?
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?

do you think SC2 will continue to improve or do you think the skill cieling will be reached quite fast and stagnate?

Ok tell us the truth now, how much did you prepare for TSL and why didn't you win 10 tournaments already?

Lets do some maths, lets think he would win 10 go4sc2 or this kind of small tournaments, that means 100$ for first place. In total, it would made 1000$.
Mondragon will win TSL3 so he will win 15000$.

I personally would do the same :p


Also, he said in an interview that he doesn't practice a lot.

he says that to surprise the opponent even more. do you remember what zeerax said at the end of game3? something like "you are quite strong for someone who don't play a lot"

Dear Mondragon,

Why do you say you have won important matches in the past because of luck when you obviously have shown not only in Broodwar, but in your match against Zeerax, that your games ar'nt luck based, there very much you just destorying the other opponent?
Yeah i've got your zerg riiiight here! *gulps beer*

Mondragon,

How were you so incredibly lucky in your matches against ZeeRaX?
Every time the observer looked somewhere your units were luckily killing something.
Moderately terrible zerg player.

Dear Mondragon,

You seem to favor drops over Nydus Network. What is the biggest difference between the two and in which situations do you use them ?

Mondragon, the goal keeper, used to play for a Turkish football squad called Galatasaray when i used to live in izmir, Turkey a while ago. I guess he transferred to deutschland and i think hes Romanian, anyways I always thought that was a cool name.

Hey Mondragon, great games in the RO32. My question relates to how you approach the game. A big distinguishing part of your play in the TSL 2 Ladder was your use of Zergling run-bys. In TSL 3 we again see a distinguishing style where you counter attack with Roaches in response to Protoss air. Both in the TSL 2 and the TSL 3 you seem to be taking advantage of the slightest weakness shown by your opponent through powerful and unexpected counterattacks. My question: is this play style something you practice and prepare for or is it something you come up with on the fly? What thoughts do you have for other players looking to develop a similarly creative style of play?

Hey Mondy,

I've been a long time fan of SC and SC2, Brood War for many years, and I've always been impressed by your manner and the way you carry yourself in the scene. I commend you for that, you really give a good face to e-sports.

My question is simple, what is your fondest moment in your gaming career, and why?

I hope you make it deep into the TSL3. You have quite a few fans =)

Thanks to Binky182 for taking the questions to MYM!

Question:

Hi Mondi,

you are playing Starcraft : BW and SC2 for over half your life time. I remember you as a 13 or 14 year old. How would your life without Starcraft have been?

I would love to see a showmatch between Mondragon and oGsMC. Before the game, they would both agree that MC would win. After the game, they would both agree Mondragon won by pure luck

Hi Mondi,

What's your schedule like for the rest of the year and beyond? Are you going to be entering more top tier tournaments, or are you still going to be limited time wise due to other things?
