Hi XlorD. First of all Could you introduce yourself to our audience?

Hi, my name is Daniel Spenst, I'm a 14-year old student from Germany and playing Warcraft III for SK-Gaming Germany.

How did you get involved with Warcraft 3 and what was your first RTS game?

One day a friend of mine introduced me to the game and I liked it from the very beginning, so I continued playing it to become better. The first RTS game I ever played was Command and Conquer.

How did you come up with your nickname? Has your ID any special meaning?

My cousin had been playing online games before I decided to do so. His ID, Xblood, actually inspired me, that's why I decided to choose XlorD.

How did you become a part of SK Germany? Who contacted you?

I asked Take to play some custom games and after serveral contact he decided to add me to a project called Individual Gaming that became SK.Germany later on.

You left SK Germany after a while and joined Serious Gaming. But now you are back again. Can you tell us about why you left Serious Gaming?

The main reason for me to join SK Germany again was that I felt better in a german speaking team. Besides I also missed my old clan mates who were really kind even though I left the team.

SK Germany was able to qualify for the new WC3L Season. How do you think the team will perform in the current season?

Even though our start into the season was quite bad. I believe we can do a turn arround and place in the lower middle. If we are to join the playdowns I think we will win and stay in the league.

Sure, I believe we are able to score wins against all teams except giants like MYM, SK.Int, 4K and even Mouz who had a great start. Though it is also possible to lose to all of these teams, I think that our players will do everything to get into awesome shape.

You are part of SK Germany. Do you have the possibility to train with members from the international part of the organization?

Of course, we help each other to prepare for important events.

How do you train in general? Do you play ladder games or mainly costume games?

Both, I like to play custom games because training is much more effective but ladder is usefull too because it's hard to find partners for training all the time.

Why do you play undead?

I like to coil other heros.

Is there any players who you count as your idols? If so, why?

I would say Lucifer is my idol because together with Sweet he is one of the best undeads world wide.

A lot of people are talking about imbalance in Warcraft 3. What do you think about this topic?

I doubt that there is any real imbalance in this game. There are some advantages in certain match-ups like orc vs elf and ud vs orc. But in my opionion it's not worth speaking about it.

Next to the WC3L there is also the NGL ONE. What do you think about the league?

In my opinion the NGL1 is a great alternative, though it does not really challenge the WC3L series. It's more like another genre of league because of it's very interesting match system and the aim to show games in their cinema.

How do you feel when you lose an important match, and what do you do right after the game?

Of course I feel sad but nevertheless it is important to keep a fresh mind, mostly I watch the replay and try to analyse my mistakes.

What are your plans for the future, how long do you think you'll keep playing on a competative level?

I will play on a competative level as long as possible, and as long as I play I want to achieve as much as possible.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Hopefully I'll be the worlds best Warcraft IV player!

Who do you think are the best wc3 player in Germany for each race right now?

I think the best players for each race are:

Fisch
Miou
Protois
Hanf
