ToD talks about the game, his future plans and more in this interview with GOM TV:

Excerpt:
![[image loading]](http://img.gomtv.net/img/Todd.jpg) Yoan 'ToD' Merlo has returned to the pro-gaming scene. He has picked up SC2 about 3 months ago and is already proving himself to be one tough Protoss player. ToD is currently in Team Millenium and the day for ToD to claim the position of a top Protoss player in addition to his previous status as a top Human player from WC3 seems near. In this interview with GOM TV, ToD talks about the game, his future plans and more. [What have you been up to ever since retiring from WC3 and before switching to SC2? What is your current typical day like as a pro-gamer? (Question by user "sc2lime")] "After retiring from WarCraft3 pro-gaming, I did a ton of sports, mostly ping-pong, working out, and a lot of football. But after a knee injury I basically had to stop all of it. So I had all my time to spend in front of the computer once again! My typical day after waking up would be playing some SC2 although I used to never do this before as I thought it's too hard to play well in the morning (I saw in some interview of a Korean coach that he said his players focus better in the morning so I wanted to see it for myself). After a few games I eat, shower and play more. Then I eat again, play more and go to sleep. Since I started playing about 3 months ago I take a lot of time to study the game as well by watching replays and GSL VODs, and reading TL etc. I believe it helps learning the game faster." ...

just wondering (sorry for being off topic about this) but, is it possible for the observer to sometimes go and press 1 or 2 to see what the progamer/player is currently looking at certain critical parts?
Mainly cause I've been seeing the Brood War vod's of the Proleagues and they sometimes show at parts the ingame view of the player (some of them go split screen it, but I'm mainly asking about the function already in SC2 to show the player cameras)?
I would just find it quite interesting to watch parts of the game in their point of view sometimes
though maybe not, but I'd think it'll be interesting to experiment with and try out....>_>
now... on topic:
nice interview, can you also do more interviews like this (possibly to other progamers.... both non koreans and koreans? :D

If I can treat this like a feedback forum for a minute I'd like to say that the GSTL was insanely awesome due to new maps and the atmosphere of team play, games seemed closer, more interesting and tense. Keep up the good work as always
