Normally I don't get time to produce more than 1 interview in a month and this time it's no different either. I kinda got fed up with the Korean answers all the time so I've decided to stick with someone more international and someone everyone is comfortable with.

My latest interview with a StarCraft pro-gamer is with Greg "IdrA" Fields.

Here's a sample as usual:
+ Show Spoiler +
Name: Greg Fields
Date of Birth: 8-21-89
Location: Seoul, South Korea
Birth place: Michigan, USA
Race: Terran
ICCup Ladder Account: BenLinus
First Strategy Game: Starcraft
Siblings: One younger sister
Blood type: Don't know
Favorite Book: Couldnt choose a favorite
Favorite Food: American style breakfast in general. Thats the one of the things I've missed the most in Korea. Rice and meat cannot compare to pancakes.
Favorite Movie: Maybe Terminator 2? I have trouble choosing favorites for things like this.
Favorite Model / Actress: I think Megan Fox is a very talented actress.
Favorite Actor: Christian Bale
Favorite Color: Blue
Favorite unit: Science Vessel
Favorite player: Nada
Favorite CJ Entus Player: Iris

There are about 10 additional pages on the link below!
Props to IdrA for taking time out and answering my boring questions, but I hope you get to see another side to him. I'll probably interview someone non-Korean next until I can figure out if I should go back to the WeInterviewedFOX series for round 2! Till then, enjoy this one.

As usual feedback is appreciated.

Idra did his best, but man, you have to adjust during your interviews. Right now it seems you just have questions written down and you are throwing them at him. Probably could have even answered all those things via email. That's not an interview - it's a questionnaire.
Things like race, name, etc. can all be researched and put into an introduction. That way you can start a conversation with the player and focus on getting interesting info (which you did, in a way) out of the player rather than just Q, A, Q, A, etc.

Incontrol - Well he won a national championship by running lurkers up ramps and macroing badly until he could make ultralisks. Poor skew and artosis still cry themselves to sleep at night because of him.

lolol

Even though Idra is an angry nerd, he makes the SC-scene intresting.

Thanks for the interviews as usual, your interviews are the best.His comments on players were quite entertaining.

great interview, good job
Liked his comments about other foreigners the most... like his comment on dinot

but one thing I found very funny:
Reason to play T:
"I enjoyed the challenge of playing the most difficult race. "

Later on, what made you switch from Z to T:
"I played them zvt over and over, and I played a very lair focused, macro oriented style, and it just didn't work vs them because their macro was too good. I had always played terran vs zerg because I didn't like zerg vs zerg, so I gradually began to switch over entirely out of frustration."

hahahaha cuz of playing the most difficult race my ass!
