EPTRG: What sort of skills or attributes do you think you bring to the ROOT roster that makes you unique?
SB: I try to find creative solutions to problems I see in matchups. I don't watch very many pro-gamers, or try to imitate styles much, unless there's a particular strategy I'm having a lot of trouble with. This has lead me to some fairly creative builds that I don't see too much from other Z players that I've found a lot of success with. I think my current one-base ZvZ is a decent example of that.

I also got ahold of CatZ and was able to get him to talk about ROOT's new acquisition!
ROOT Gaming (RG): Paulo, what initially drew you to look at Destiny as a potential ROOT player?
Paulo Vizcarra (PV): Since the beta, Destiny was one of the zerg players that I really liked. I never thought of him as a Top Tier player, but he was always close. However, much of what he said is true and has been true in my eyes for a while. Like me, he likes to figure out stuff on his own and use his own brain, where most players act like sheep and just copy what others do without trying to understand the game. This is a quality that most if not all Top Tier players have, using your brain and creativity is probably the hardest thing to teach or come around, and Destiny already has it in him.
