Weird question but what watch is he wearing in the Razer pics? It's really nice.



Probably one of those watches by Fossil. A lot of people I know were those or similar ones and all of them are made by Fossil^^

They are based in the US so you probably could get one of them easily: Fossil Homepage

Gosh, I feel like I did advertising, hopefully I won't get punished :D

Great stuff, I'll definately will come up with one or two stupid questions which he will never answer anyways ^^

Question for Mondragon:

Did you plan out the Protoss air counter with roaches in your TSL game or did you had that idea as the game developed?
You don't choose to play zerg. The zerg choose you.

His name is derived from the football goalkeeper Mondragon who played for the German 1. FC Köln



Sorry, but is that confirmed ? I know it is on Liquipedia but...it´s just that this Player was traded to the 1.Fc Köln in 2007, before he played in several other countries. I am quite a fan of football, but i didn´t knew him until 2007. In 1998, when i suggest Mondi chose his name, he played for Saragossa in Spain. Can´t really believe that the name comes from this player. It is not impossible, it just seems to be unlikely. So please tell me somebody if that is really true or maybe a mistake on Liquipedia

Question for Mondragon : When is your study over, and do you want to play more SC2 when it is ?

Sorry for bad english btw

To Mondragon: In the first game on Crevasse you scouted Zeerax's stargate units very late. What was going through your head when they were at your base, did you think you could still win the game?

This was common knowledge in the scbw scene. At least if you trust Mondragons own words...

I have lots of questions!

What is your favourite new zerg unit/tactic in sc2 that wasn't in brood war?

If you could bring into sc2 one zerg unit from brood war what would it be?

If a big sponsor came along and offered you money to reform ToT in Sc2 would you do it?

If you could recruit one non-korean terran player from another team to yours who would it be and why? One protoss? One zerg?

What is your favourite beer?

Is it true, that you actually ripped a nerd's heart out and ate it just because he asked what race you played or was that story made up?

Could the reason that many European and American players are finding greater success agaisnt Korean players be that (no offence is meant by this) SC2 rewards intelligence over raw handspeed?

Dear Mondragon,

Do you know that you have a fanclub here on TL?
And also, how much hours per day have you practiced for TSL3?
