Interview with Bakuryu

German Zerg Bakuryu made it through in Qualifier 1, beating Byul and Legacy in the process



First of all congratulations on making it through on your first try! Everything going according to plan?

Bakuryu: Yeah, i was lucky that I had a rather easy bracket and managed to qualify on my first try, but some people have really hard brackets hehe.



Well, you managed it through the first step which is always good. The real question though: How far do you want to go?

Bakuryu: Well as I stated in the thread, I atleast want to win some money which is ro8, otherwise I will shave my moustache^^



If your moustache is on the line that's pretty hardcore haha

Bakuryu: Well it can grow back afterwards... xD Not like i will lose my arm



Last question: who do you still wanna see make it through?

Bakuryu: I hope my friend Wendigo can make it but he only has 1 try left . Other than him, i would say bizzy, assault, zaraki, KC and pro7ect.



Thanks a lot

Bakuryu: np^^

Interview with Sneazel

Polish Protoss Sneazel made it through in Qualifier 3, beating aCe and OctZerg in the process

First of all congratulations on making it through on your second try! Everything according to plan or were you ever worried you would have to use your 3rd try?

Sneazel: .Thanks. Not everything went with my expectations. At 1st try I was worried because of TechnicS.

I didn't know him good because I didn't even play with him, but much people like him and they like to favor him.

At the 2nd try i was worried because of aCe. He is old gamer, i don't remember him well, but ex ToT player must be talented. I had luck because he hasn't practiced much, or maybe he didnt practice anything ^^



How far do you want to go? Top 4 again or going for Gold this time?

Sneazel: I want to go to Top4. It would satisfy me. But I don't think I can do it again. I will do my best, but there are some better players than me. I don't feel safe.



Who else would you like to see making it in?

Sneazel: I would like to see much people which I like, but I must take to note skill these players. I would like to see at least in Top16 Michael, Mazur, Pike and maybe KC



And that's it, thx for the interview

Sneazel: You are welcome
