[Interviews] R2 Qualifiers

1. You are playing ToT)XiaOzI(. Are you confident that you will win?
I think I have chances but who knows how it will go further?

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
Dunno all will depend of my Mood. If it is good I think I can try.

3. Which group is the strongest and why?
I didn't look at all the groups but I can say my group is really hard.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
No I didn't watch because now I don't have much time. Maybe I'll look at replays later.

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
So I have to look other =) lets see..
A. Mondragon, Gosia
B. Cloud, Draco
C. Yayba, Ret
D. Idra, Hannigan
F. Brat_ok, Nony
G. Strelok, Temujin
H. Advokate, Dreiven

1. You are playing ToT)Mondragon(. Are you confident that you will win?
No, I'm not. It's so obvious that hes gonna rape me big time. I can only promise that I'll try to do my best, but I still don't think that will be enough tho. I'm kinda sloppy as of late so I don't think that I'm gonna win any game even in the losers bracket.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
Time will tell, I dont really like to predict anything. Obviously there are much better players, and I'm mostly like the favorite to take the 4th spot.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
Every group is very strong, you cant choose the only one. I just hope all Poles/ToTies can make it to the next stage. At that level of a competition everything can happen, especially when the maps are kinda imbalanced.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
I did, none of the replays impressed me by much. There were some okay games like Geoff vs A2. But that game was just full of mistakes and I couldn't watch the outcome since Geoff should've won that game!

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
Hopefully the best possible players . Good luck to everyone. And by the way I'd like to greet Gosia.

I think that I have the highest chances however I can't underrate my opponents.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
No I didn't yet.

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
It's very hard to predict, let's just see what happens -)

I'm not really confident. And tbh I don't see myself making it in this group.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
I'd say 10-20% at best.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
Group A definetly. Although I think Mondragon and Paranoid will make it, Mistrzzz and Leg are very dangerous players.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
I saw some of them. The games I enjoyed the most were Dashwriter vs Idra, with some unusual strats from Dashwriter.

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
A) Mondragon / Paranoid
B) Draco / Cloud
C) Haypro / Ret
D) Idra / Dinot
E) White-Ra / Timothy
F) Infernal / Nony
G) JF / Strelok
H) Dreiven / A2

1. You are playing MYM.Dreiven. Are you confident that you will win?
I'm not really confident but I will try to win.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
I would say something around 50%.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
Didn't follow it too much.

A - mistrzzz and legionaire

E- White-ra and rondo
F- nony and infernal
G- strelok and iefnaij
H- a2 and dreiven

1. You are playing 3D.Temujin. Are you confident that you will win?
I am playing Temujin and he's quite good, I am not certain that I will win.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
I think the chances of me advancing is 50/50, everyone's pretty strong.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
Definitely group A, monsters in there~

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
No I have not.

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
Hard to predict.

1. You are playing ToT)Infernal(. Are you confident that you will win?
Yes I always have confidence to win. Even if I were playing KeSPA #1, I'd find a way to gather confidence.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
Good. I think if the group played out 100 times, I would advance more times than any other player. Nonetheless I know that it's still very possible to be eliminitated so I'm doing all the preparation I can to ensure that does not happen.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
Group G. Strelok and IefNaij are definitely top 10 foreigners and probably closer to 1-5 rather than 6-10. They are capable of winning the whole thing. Slider and Temujin play Protoss.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
Yes, idra vs dashwriter series entertained me the most but only because I know idra. Castro vs zpux was the most well-played series. Artosis on longinus and redeemer on zodiac are of course the fan favorites but they only saddened me, watching my friends lose when victory was 1 correct decision away.

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
Mondi/Leg (how is leg's pvz? dunno)
Draco/Cloud
castro/ret (I don't know Yayba's PvZ skill, so just a guess)
dinot/idra
xiaozi/white-ra
nony/brat_ok
strelok/iefnaij (toughest group to call)
kr/advokate

1. You are playing Excello.CaStrO. Are you confident that you will win?
Yes I am pretty confident that I'll win. I've played Castro on iccup and in recent clanwars, I know I can beat him on these maps.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
My chances are ok, It's really a toss-up. I think Yayba and either me or Haypro will advance but I will hope it will be me and Haypro.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
All groups are pretty even. People say Group A is the strongest but I have to disagree. It's only special because it has Mondragon, but I bet Mondi is quite satisfied with his group. I really don't think there is one group that stands out.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
I haven't watched all the games yet but I really liked Artosis vs Slider game 1, it was extremely close, too bad Artosis lost it, he should have won.

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
Group A will be Mondragon and MistrZZZ, Group B: Notforu and White-Ra Group D: Squall and Dreiven E: JF and Strelok F: Idra and DinOt G: Draco Cloud and H: Nony and Infernal.

1. You are playing RoX.ALF. Are you confident that you will win?
I'm not 100% confident, but I think I have good chances of winning.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
Well I'm not sure... If I play my best I think I can pass without much trouble. But I'm very emotive in competitions so I'm not too sure about that.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
I think groups are very well balanced, but group A and G seem to be the best ones so far.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
Haypro vs Reason was the best series for sure. They produced two very good games. Other series were kind of disappointing to be honest. Only Notforu has impressed me so far skillwise.

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
A - Mondragon, Gosia;
C - Haypro, Ret;
D - Dinot, Idra;
E - Notforu, Xiaozi;
F - Brat_ok, Infernal;
G - Iefnaij, Strelok;
H - Squall, Dreiven.

1. You are playing Legionnaire. Are you confident that you will win?
It all depends on my shape at the day of matches, but if it won't be really low I'm sure about my winning.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
Its about 99,(9)%. If someone doesn't know that 99,(9)% = 100% then I'm telling you now oo!!

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
I don't know and I don't really care. People use to say that mine is the strongest, but I see only one really skilled gamer here. I hope you know that I'm talking about The One And Only... LegendaryYyyYYy ProtOosssS!

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
I saw only a game between Legionnaire and Skew from Blue Storm, and I must admit that it was really well played by Leg, didn't suspect so good performance by retired Grandpa Toss T_T

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
A - #1 MIStrZZZ #2 Dragonmon
B - #1 Draco #2 ALF
C - Hard to say, because the strongest players are in first game - Jojoba vs HayprO, so it much depends on luck of the loser of this game in next matches
D - No idea.
E - Much depends on a game of Nfu and xiaozi - if Nfu wins then he will get #1, if he will lose then #1 will be White-Ra and #2 Nfu or xiaozi
F - No idea.
G - IefNaij + Strelok/Slider, I don't really know how's Sliders PvT compared to Streloks TvP -,.-, but I'd rather predict Strelok taking second place here.
H - Kr, he has sick PvP on Longinus, so I think he is starting from 1-0, but duno whats next - Dreiven tends to win games when he starts from 0-1. Anyway whole group should be dominated by Kr and Dreiven.

1. You are playing [check match schedule]. Are you confident that you will win?
No I have lots of zergs in my group, and I suck vs zerg and I have no builds vs zerg at the moment. I don't know who misterzzz is but he has 3 times as many Z's as in Zerg. So its awfully scary.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
I try not to think about it... but it keeps me up at night. Fortunately I have a good psychiatrist.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
Mine, solely due to the fact that theres only 3 people in the 2nd round qualifier that I will be playing against and they are all in my group.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
Not yet. But I plan to get around to it.

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
Not sure. There are a lot of new names and I don't know how strong the players are or what form they are in so its hard to judge.

1. You are playing ToT)Cloud(. Are you confident that you will win?
No I'm not, but I'll try to do my best.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
They are not very big, but anyway I hope I'll do it.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
Group A.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
I watched only a small part of them and the most exciting was the last one, Advokate vs Redeemer game.

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?Group A: Mondi/Gosia
Group C: Haypro/CaStrO
Group D: IdrA/DinOt
Group E: White-Ra/Notforu
Group F: NonY/BRAT_OK
Group G: IefNaij/Strelok
Group H: A2/Dreiven

1. You are playing Nt.hanniGan. Are you confident that you will win?
Yes, I've played him a few times on iccup and think I know his style pretty well. I don't particularly like the maps for tvp but I don't think it will be a problem.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
Pretty good, given his performance on the ladder Dinot seems to have improved since the last time I played him, but I'm still pretty confident.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
E, almost all the groups have 2 good players who should qualify barring any upsets, I think Notforu is the strongest third player.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
I only watched a couple and they weren't great games. Artosis vs Slider was pretty close, but Artosis had the game won so many times it was painful to watch.

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
A Mondi, Gosia
B Draco, Cloud
C Ret, Castro
D IdrA, Dinot
E Xiaozi, Notforu
F Nony, Infernal
G Strelok, Temujin
H Advokate, Dreiven

1. You are playing MYM.White-Ra. Are you confident that you will win?
Actually I think that against White-Ra I have more chances for win. White-ra a very strong player, but my other competitors at the group stronger for me.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
I appreciate my chances for a way out of the group as ghostly. I understand that I should be optimistic, but unfortunately I've got a very strong group. I will try to do everything that in my power.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
I will not be original, and I say that the first group is stronger than the others. Incidentally, it was known even before adding the last two players in the group.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
I watched every game of 1st qualifying round involving protoss race. Most of all I liked games 3D.TemujiN against WhistleR. Temujin pulled out the game with the help of templar's harassment. I can't do that.

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
I don't like to make predictions. I'd say only that the few players who hit the top16 undeservedly, will not get in the group.

You are playing Excello.IefNaij. Are you confident that you will win?
I'm confident that I can win if I play my best and prepare well for this match.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
I think I have good chances to advance.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
Group A , because Dissy, Rafa and Peter are in one group and MistrZZZ is not outsider too

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
Yea. RedeemeR vs A2

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups? Group A:Mondragon, Rafa/Leg
Group E: Notforu, White-Ra
Group C:Haypro, Yayba
Group H: Advo, Squall
Group D:IdrA, DinOt
Group B: Draco,ALF
Group F: Brat_Ok, Infernal

1. You are playing ToT)SquaLL(. Are you confident that you will win?
With good prepare I think its possible enough to win this group.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
I think my chances are same as in qualification round 1.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
All groups is ok. As far as I watch it I cant find any easy group.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
I still have to watch them. and select favorite maybe....

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
High skill players will eliminate 300games players.

1. You are playing RoX.BRAT_OK. Are you confident that you will win?
I'm not confident about my win but I'm happy I won't play any zerg. It will be hard to win and advanced to Top16 but I will do my best.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
If I won't do any huge mistakes during the game there is a small chance to go further ;]

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
For sure A is the strongest because of Mondragon and Mistrz.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
Yap I watch some games from R1 and Slider vs Artosis, Advo vs Incontrol were insane ;]

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
A Mondi, Mistrzzz
B Draco, Horror
C Ret, Haypro
D Idra, Dinot
E White-Ra, Xiaozi
F Nony, Brat_OK
G Strelok, Iefnaij
H Dreiven, Advo

1. You are playing LRM)Yayba. Are you confident that you will win?
I will do my best, but I'm not confident right now.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
My group with yayba ret and castro is very good, and I need a miracle to come out from there. Really good players.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
Group G and H cuz all in those groups can make it to top16.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
I watched too few of them to have a favorite.

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
A: mondi + gosia
B: draco + cloud
C: ret + ?
D: idra + ?
E: ra + notforu
F: infernal + nony
G: too hard to predict
H: squall + ?

1. You are playing Retired_Draco. Are you confident that you will win?
I don't see me winning this match. Draco is a really strong opponent. Everyone in this group is strong, Cloud raped me with the score of 3-0 one month ago. There is no chance for me to win this group.

2. What do you think your chances are to advance from your group?
I may be able to take one or two games from ALF but I'll lose to Draco and Cloud for sure. It's a group of death for me.

3. Which group do you think is the strongest and why?
Group A of course. Mondragon MistrZZZ Legionnaire and Gosia in one group? That will become an epic battle.

4. Did you watch the TSL Qualifiers Round 1 games? If so, which was your favorite?
Na, I hadn't got the time to watch them. My time schedule is pretty full with other things and I hardly trained either.

5. Who do you think will qualify from the other groups?
A: Mondragon/Legionnaire B: Draco/Cloud C: Haypro/Castro D: Idra/DinOt E: WhiteRa/XiaoZi F: infernal/Nony G: Strelok/Iefnaij H: Advokate/Dreiven
