Q5: Lately a lot of top players have been complaining of inactivity and lack of interest. Do you consider yourself being in good shape?

 Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski: I feel like my game vs Protoss and vs Terran are both in good shape right now.

 Eric "G5" Rothmuller: I play 12-14 hours daily ranging anywhere from 40-60 games a day. Yes.

 Greg "Idra" Fields: I haven’t been playing too much since WCG since school started, but I’m still in pretty decent shape. No one has been mass training as far as I know so it shouldn’t be much of a factor.

 Jacob "LzGamer" Winstead: Since... Unlike most American players who go inactive... I for one haven't so I would say my shape, was pretty good.

 Bryce Paul "TheMachine" Bates: Right after WCG I was in great shape, after summer school started up and I still work 2 jobs. So I haven’t been playing much. I’m not in too great of shape at the moment.

 Tyler "Nony" Wasieleski: I've just played 4 games today to get the rust off and they were not so good ~_~

 Dhinesh Kumar "Nesh" Devanathan: I haven’t played since WCG. I was actually a last min pick since DAY dropped out of the tournament.

 David "Dino" Kent: I'm probably close as good as I'm ever going to get. Although I have been practicing the new courage maps Katrina and Monty Hall instead of Tau Cross and Peaks. I'm happy with where I'm at now though.

 Andrew "Slog4" An: Hell no son, I’m in love dude.

 Jian Fei "Iefnaij" Wang: Definitely not. I've been playing maybe 5-10 games at most per week, due to the amount of school work. I think most of the other players are inactive as well, so it’s kind of fair.

 Zhe "XiaoZi" Theng: Not as good [of a shape] as 4months ago I would say. I went back to China for 4 months vacation. And I didn’t play much in China, but I’m playing a lot now, so I think I’m catching up.

Q6: Have you been practicing specifically for this tournament?

 Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski: Not really. Just practicing in general.

 Eric "G5" Rothmuller: Actually no I didn’t.

 Greg "Idra" Fields: No, Puerto[rican. the mastermind behind this event] contacted us all a few months ago asking if we were interested but I hadn’t heard anything specific about it (when it was) until the tl.net post yesterday. I’ll practice a bit today and tomorrow but there’s not much time to do anything really.

 Jacob "LzGamer" Winstead: Well, if I would have known (when/maps/players) I would have been able to do 100x better in practice but considering I was informed about the date, maps, players[only] last night.. I don’t have enough time to mass train like I would like to.

 Bryce Paul "TheMachine" Bates: Not much, considering I just found out[about it] yesterday.

 Tyler "Nony" Wasieleski: The 4 games I have played in the last month have been on the tournament maps, yes.

 David "Dino" Kent: Not at all. I think I'll do fine though.

 Andrew "Slog4" An: Not at all. I [only] heard about it yesterday.

 Jian Fei "Iefnaij" Wang: Not really. I just played games with my friends for fun, I don't think practicing on specific maps really matter. At this point, I'm just trying to un-rust as much as I can. Hopefully I won’t be eliminated on the first round because of my inactivity.

 Zhe "XiaoZi" Theng: No, not really, I don’t know many of them, so I don’t know what I need to prepare. Just playing games everyday on ICCup, and sometimes hamachi.
