It’s GoSu had the privilege of interviewing Sasha “Scarlett” Hostyn, the Zerg Queen. She talks about her experiences at IPL4 and WCS, some of the incredible matches she played vs TSL in IPL TAC 3, and her current team--Team Acer.

...After leaving Eclypsia, you joined Team Acer near the end of June. What made you decide to join Team Acer and how is your experience with the European team? Is it hard to practice with your teammates due to the time difference?

After IPL4, I saw one of the Zerg players I looked up to, Nerchio, had posted a few times in the fanclub made about me on teamliquid. I managed to get his skype info, and we talked fairly often, mainly about strategy and the like. As soon as I mentioned to him I was leaving Eclypsia, he mentioned this to his team, which approached me the next day. Team Acer intrigued me because it had so many other Zerg players, and the legendary Sc1 Zerg Mondragon as a coach. However, I still took a long time to decide which team I would join, (over a month), and talked to several others during that time. One thing that disappointed me was not seeing a message from a team who was interested in talking to me that I would have possibly liked to join until afterwards, but I certainly have no regrets with having joined Team Acer. I don't practice much with my teammates (and most likely would not even if we were on same server) as I prefer to only ladder for practice, as it makes me mentally prepared for anything that could be thrown at me rather than subconsciously shifting my build to metagame people I know playstyles of....

Nice interview. I never knew Mondragon was a coach, must have missed that.

Mondragon clearly needs something to do to relax when resting from his studies.

Also, very nice interview. Love how in-depth it was.

At least his coaching style fits perfectly fits the meta game "When you scout that he's playing protoss start making roaches and do not stop until you've won".

There is an important addendum though. Roaches counter every Protoss unit except one, as Zerg you need to counter Pheonixes with Hatcheries.

Interesting, most pros tend to think laddering isn't as important as specific practice games. How someone got this good without really doing anything except laddering, wow.

She talks about some of the other things she does to practice in the full interview ^^. But laddering is definitely a big part of her practice~!

Really good interview - Scarlett seems a little shy sometimes, so nice to see her talk a lot.
