Quantic Gaming is proud to announce that Madeleine “MaddeLisk” Leander is the latest player to join our StarCraft II team.
MaddeLisk, a very popular Swedish Zerg player who is currently aiming for her Ph.D. in Mathematics, now joins Flo Yao as a member of Quantic’s skilled female progamers.
We talked to MaddeLisk about her past experiences as a progamer, joining Quantic, and her future plans.
What made you want to join Quantic?
“After I left my old team the plan was to stay teamless and just focus on what’s important to me, which is improving my play, and I couldn't really do that in my former team. When I first got contacted by Quantic I was still under the impression that being teamless was the better choice, but I talked to some players on Quantic and they spoke very highly of the team. I also talked to the management which gave me a really good impression and I realized quickly that they had the same goals as me and it became an obvious choice. I am very thankful for this opportunity and I am also really happy to be on the same team as flo ♥ ”
With the majority of the Quantic team living in either North America or Korea, what sort of challenges does that present to you?
“There might be some challenges regarding time zones, but I don’t see that as a problem. Having practice partners in two time zones is a good thing.”
You mentioned you’re living in Sweden. Any plans to move into the Quantic Training Facility in California?
“Maybe^^”
We are pleased to have MaddeLisk join our Quantic family and look forward to seeing her perform well at future events!

I wish her good luck in Quantic! She's awesome and Quantic too. Nice combo!
|
Cool that she's going for a PhD. Strange that she's spending serious time in SC though. Or at least the people doing PhD in math that I know of are usually quite busy with that.
|
What team did she used to be on?

She must also spend a lot of time at the gym considering what Incontrol said about her lifting 150 lbs... A very busy girl indeed.

She is hot and very Good! Hope this leads to something Good;)

Quantic needs to proeprly start marketing their players as individuals rather than lumping them together and just hoping one succeeds in results.
They already had great players before the Vile merge, now with the vile merge they have a lot of toys in the toybox, but keeps saying: "We have ntohing to play with"

hmmmm good player, but i probably wouldn't.

Yeah, that's nuts. I'm in the middle of mine, and I have a few hours a week at most to devote to games. As far as I can see she's already got one publication (or is this her thesis?); reading it now. It's pretty cool. Edit: almost forgot... Major props to her.

I agree 100%. Illusion is one of the most marketable players out there, being incredibly good, young North American player. If they market him well he could become the face of the NA scene in a year or two. Also, players like Sase and Spanishiwa are both well known. I would love to see them do promotional showmatches showcasing those players and expanding the fan bases of their other less-known players.

seems like Quantic barely used Flo in anything important...and as far as I know she hasn't gotten a lot better. So they sign another female to make another splash for 'sex-appeal?' Shoulda just went with that aliuj girl lol
|
I've heard her name, but never heard what rank she is or if she has any results. Feel like that should be somewhere more prominent in this.
|
Best of luck to her! I hope to see more of Quantics female members in big tournaments such as IPL or MLG =) Gogo girls!

Well, you're jumping to conclusions.
