Players Respected: I have huge respect for any player or presenter who is unrestrained in sharing their passion. I’d like to give special shoutouts to Spartaz for his undying passion and support, Reere for his unbelievable support since I took a career in eSports seriously, and Flamga for taking me under his wing when I first started casting and for showing me the ropes. Arch-Nemisis: I love everybody You all get hugs from me whenever you want! Best Starcraft 2 player in SEA?: Mafia probably takes it just for the amount of time he invests without being guided. He has so much self commitment and dedication which I find very inspiring. Favourite Starcraft 2 player in SEA?: Iaguz that sexy bearded man. He is as funny in real life as he is online. His streams are always hilarious with his commentary and 100% honest opinions and he is always willing to have a laugh.. and he is one of the few Terran players to grace the SEA land. Best Starcraft 2 player in the world of all time?: Nestea was unstoppable in his prime and although his results are not up to a level we and he want them to be right now, I never can get over how successful he still is given his age. He will always be remembered even if he doesn’t quite hold the most amount of GSL titles.
