What's your daily training like ? Do you mostly ladder or custom games ?
46
I was a 70% Custom 30% Ladder man before Dreamhack. With the ladder tournament it has been a lot more ladder obviously. Right now I feel bad in every MU, so I'll stick to ladder

Dude where did you come from? Its like one day you just BOOM became pro outta nowhere. You're Liquipedia profile says you started playing online cups in 2014. How did you get into SC2?
-
How pissed are you whenever a caster says 'Pee tit drogo'?
-
How did Millennium not snipe you before mYi?

I've started watching sc2 in the beta and started playing it when it came out. At the time it was my first year of Highschool so I was playing it rather casually. After my last year of highschool (in september 2014) I was some dude that was barely able to stay in the top 50 GM, but I decided to give pro gaming a go and I've been fulltime since then. I guess it's hard to get yourself known when you're new blood unless you manage to pull off some crazy performance.
I really don't mind how people pronounce PtitDrogo. A lot of people talk about it but I really don't care (except people not saying the p, come on guys)
Idk, I never felt good enough for millenium so I never asked them and they never asked me. When I felt good enough (when I qualified for the homestory cup where it was 3 frenchies vs 5 kor in the ro8) I asked myi to join them.
32
except people not saying the p
cough Kaelaris cough
14
I believe it's supposed to be a very light p? I think that's why a lot of people think it's silent.
1
Tell that to Drogo.
1
Actually i think it's more P'titDrogo
1
ur name is probably one of the coolest in Starcraft, like ever.

Thank you for replying! Also mods give the man his checkmark!
2
They only give check marks to people who ask for them, because some people don't want it: they don't want to always give the impression that they are speaking "officially".
3
That makes sense!
1
Do you like Blizzard's current stance on map diversity, would you prefer almost all maps to be standard, or would you like a healthy mix of weird maps and standard maps?
19
Usually what I define as retarded games is what blizzard will consider as Entertaining games. So yeah I guess I had a lot of entertaining loss vs an entertaining amounts of ravagers because of the entertaining and healthy short distance of lerilak close position.
No but really the maps are really really bad. LOTV reduced the need of specific set-ups (for exemple you always needed space to FF to take a third in PvZ) in map making wich is great, but they abused that too much
75
I love how you just say what you think instead of giving the safe answers. Don't ever stop cursing and shit.
20
I have to agree, the current maps are terribly stupid. Thanks for the answer and thanks for doing this AMA!

Just how good is Neeb? Best foreign protoss?
19
Idk if he's the best, but he's better than me for sure :D
29
So What You're Saying Is He's A Literal God....?
1
Is there a player on EU Ladder that has huge potential but has not gotten much attention thus far?
18
I'm gonna go with Lambo and DnS.
29
Nice!

What about Morrow?

Who is your favourite European Terran and why is it uThermal?
18
Uthermal is my favorite cardgame player

Which card game?

FagStone

Who do you think is the best Terran, Zerg and Protoss(you included) in Europe?
17
Terran I would say Marinelord, Protoss probably Showtime or Lilbow. EU zergs are all the same theres really no point putting one above the other :P but I'm gonna go with Vortix for the hype factor.
35
Snute for legacy

Did they massively buff swarmhosts when I wasn't looking?

Hmm is it out yet?
1
how much do you practice a day, amount of games and vods?
17
Sometime when I have periods where I wake up and my entire day is gonna be about starcraft. And sometime I will kick in a ball with a flying car for most of the day :D.
I usually don't watch vod too much, except when I want to changes/learn new strategies, then I spend most of the day watching and studying vods.
22
Dunno why but Rocket League is the only game other than SC2 that can keep my attention. So much fun.
Have you played ranked in the new system? If so, what league are you in?
6
Challenger 2, I'm really not that good :D
4
For anyone reading this, that's RL gold league.
^^^^I ^^^^can't ^^^^even ^^^^make ^^^^RL ^^^^gold ^^^^league ^^^^FML

nice. My 2 games right now are also SC2 and RL. Such a good combo

Do you think eating at McDonalds on Saturday night in Leipzig made an impact on your performance in the finals? I saw you there :D
17
Yeah the McFlury is a gift from the gods that shit is so good
47
m&m or oreo

m&m

bonjwa confirmed

I was with you until this comment. You're dead to meh D:<
1
Sundaes > McFlurries.
A Sundae costs €1,50 here (NL) while a McFlurry costs €2,50. Just as good and way cheaper. Gotta manage that eco.
1
Is this the one at the Hauptbahnhof? I studied for a month in Leipzig and all my non-American friends kept dragging me to that McDonalds.
1
Do you think it's weird to drink milk and eat popcorn at the same time?
16
ya
38
Do you think PvZ is balanced?
13
I Think it's Zerg favored, but it has so much to do with the maps that it's not that obvious what's really wrong. The match-up is balanced enough that I usually still win when I play better. Personnally these days I have to be so scared of all-ins when I play that my build orders are always gonna be sub efficient. I really don't feel like I could win vs any good koreans with a decent macro and multitask.

Sick AMA. Appreciate the responses. Keep killing this wonderful game of sc2?
-1
I didn't mean 'kill it' like 'dedgame'. Haha
1
Don't got a question right now, just wanna say thank you for doing this, it's a nice read :), and solo good content for this subreddit <3
13
How did you find out about SC2 and what made you pick protoss?
11
I found out about starcraft 2 when the beta was out when I stumbled on a VOD of Pomf & Thud, the co-founders of O'gaming. I was playing protoss in BroodWar because I was only playing with the mouse and you could only select 12 units at a time, and between 12 zergling, marines or zealots, zealots where obviously more powerful :D. I sticked with it when I started playing sc2.
43
Thanks for feeding the trolls, protoss players don't even need a keyboard Kappa.
53
what was your highest rank on iccup
2
I was playing those "Noob only" lobby and losing everything so probably only the worst rank :D
2
:O how do you go from computer rank to pro
1
Do you feel more/less pressure at offline tournaments now that you have won DH Leipzig?
9
I always feel more pressure at the beginnings of tournament, where losing means you accomplished nothing. So I'm usually really stressed in qualifier and in the first rounds of tourneys (I remember being crazy stressed when I play vs Scarlett and lambo at Homestory cup).
Once I do a bit decent I almost feel no pressure unless I'm in the final or something big like that.
Since I've won DH I've done terrible, but maybe it's just that I wasn't that good to begin with (I did win a lot of 3-2 at dh :D) and that I still have a lot to learn if I want to be one of the best foreigners.
25
What MatchUp you would like to play the most in Katowice? Who you want and don't want to face in Katowice beside the Koreans?
9
Idk man everybody is scary. Probably a zerg that let me do my thing with phenixs and stuff
13
How did you get so handsome?
7
With a solid diet of salami and nutella only with from time to time orange juice.
23
The usual + jus d'orange, got it. Thanks :)
3
And a lot of baguette with the salami and the nutella, that goes without saying.

What is Ptit?
7
my D
16
The french equivalent of lil' basically
10
yep
1
Ptit = petit = small
8
Do you play off-race? If yes, what leagues are your terran and zerg? and what race do feel is most mechanically demanding and what is the least?
7
I'm shit with Zerg and Terran but I've never taken the time to learn them correctly, so I can't really make a judgement as to wish race is the more demanding.
6
how petit is your drogo
Let's just say that in that regard, in the french scene Mlord is at one end of the spectrum and I'm at the other end :3
The baguette scale.
So MLord has a huge drogo?
There's a reason one of his nicknames is MoBigDick.
I typed that name into google so I could verify it... I think I need to clean my browser history.
How the hell did you find that out? ಠ_ಠ
