Random last words: Thanks for the interview. Sc2sea is awesome an community, love you all


Bonus Question 1: As the longest and most hard working tournament admin in SC2SEA, running and sponsoring the GPDs/MCs for over a year STRAIGHT now - what drives your passion? How can people learn to be more like you!

I love SC2. It's a fantastic game/sport. Highly skilled at the top levels, strategic, very spectator friendly, and a good match making system for those seeking improvement. It's been called the chess of our generation. To quote Day[9]: " StarCraft requires the dexterity of a pianist, the mind of a chess grandmaster, and the discipline of an Olympic trainee."

I find it to be very addictive and have a desire to improve, as a lot of it comes down to your own 'play' unlike some other video games.
I want to do my little part in helping our local SEA players, and hopefully the world will pay a bit more attention to some of our top stars, so they can get similar opportunities as other players around the globe. Would like to see e-sports become more accepted into our culture.

I guess wanting to be a part of the community and loving the game are a must. Volunteer, help out, be part of it. The work can be rewarding and you'll meet some awesome people and make friends.

nice necro dante

[BaKaiNu]

I would like to add that there can never be a necro thread for who's who.

Everybody on the who's who deserves respect and recognition, and the best way to do it is to write an excellent reply to their who's who regardless of necro or not.

Baka out.
