Some people say that Poland is one of the best, if not the best country outside South Korea in Starcraft. They have a lot of talented and legendary players like:
Draco or
Dreiven and bronze medalist from WCG
Blackman. One of them is
MistrZZZ, who placed second at WCG Polish finals after losing to Draco with a score of 3:0. myMYM crew was able to catch up with him and ask few questions about his performance and more!
How did you prepare for the finals?
About ten days before WCG I received a message from an admin that the prizes are much bigger than a year ago, so I decided to stop playing poker for a week or so and train some SC before the finals. I trained only against zergs, because I felt weak in pvz and there were 4 zergs in the final 8, so I calculated that it's quite possible that I would play only against zergs or terran which I don't fear even without training. Also, I didn't have much time to train, that's why I did this calculation.
What were your goals for this event?
I can't tell you the true goals of mine, but I definitely wanted to win WCG, just like every lan I play.
What is your opinion about your games at WCG Poland?
I played quite solid starcraft against zergs and terran, but really badly against protosses. But if I'd play my real skill in every game, I wouldn't lose a single one on the finals.
When you were losing to draco 2:0 you wanted to play third game as a "random", then people start screaming that you have zerg. The situation arose twice. What can you tell us about that?
Actually most of the people don't know the facts. After the game on Blue Storm where I had a clear advantage and he was just about to leave - I lost 30 probes or something to single dt, which I didn't spot. That was a turning point when I realised that it's not my day and if I lose a game like that - I can't win this final for sure, I was just too unlucky... so I decided to take Random in the last game, because I didn't really care about the results anymore and also if I get a bit lucky I could manage to win it anyway. But after the second game started - moonshine, who was staying behind me, and draco said something like 'oh lol now he will make excuses that he lost because of the offrace', so I left the game because draco could easily hear it too. Right after the second Random game started - some drunk shouted from the crowd that I have a zerg, so I paused the game and decided to play as a Protoss on the other map. I could've talked with admin to not show the finals on the screens, but I didn't want to do this for the people who came just to see the final match.
You placed second at Polish finals. You have chance to represent Poland in the international finals. Will you try to join a sponsored team like RoX or MYM so that they can help you to send you to Germany?
I can't tell you much right now, but there are high chances that I'll go to the finals.
Who was in your opinion the biggest surprise at the Polish finals?
I think that draco winning the whole event was the biggest surprise. After I saw few of his games from the elimination phase I felt that his skills are gone forever, but on the lan people tend to play worse than online, but draco still plays the same; that's why he won.
Bonus question: How did your diet effect your performance?
I like to eat noobs for breakfast, it makes me play better till the end of a day.

i never expected polish people to be so bm...one thing is fooling around on internet, flaming on internet, etc., but interrupting wcg finals in such a childish manner...really sad to hear something like that happened, random has its advantages in the opening build so a skilled gamer with all 3 races can profit from it. - unlike noobs that are good with only one or two races and cross their fingers to get the race they want.

This guy is entertaining.. Quite talented and mysterious as well. His answers are rant that would create potential controversy. He talks like a wrestler who's after for a beat down.

oops there might be a slight difference of what I wanted to write in the interview, it's not so great english here
4. when you were losing to draco 2:0 you wanted to play third game as a "random", then people start screaming that you have zerg. Situation repeat twice. What can you tell us about that. Actually most of the people don't know the facts. After the game on Blue Storm where I had a clear advantage and he was just about to leave - I lost 30 probes or smth to single dt, which I didn't spot. That was a turning point when I realised that it's not my day and if I lose a game like that - I can't win this final for sure, I was just too unlucky. So I decided to take Random in the last game, because I didn't really care about the results anymore and also if I get a bit lucky I could manage to win it anyway. But after the second game started - moonshine who was staying behind us playing final (me and draco) said to someone something like 'oh lol now he will excuse that he lost coz of the offrace' and I left the game because draco could easily hear that too. Right after the second Random game started - some drunk retard shouted from the crowd that I have a zerg, so I paused the game and decided to play as a Protoss on the other map. I could've talk with admin to not show the finals on the screens, but I didn't want to do this for the ppl who came just to see the final match. Last edited by MIStrZZZ at 02.09.2008, 19:16

well it's sad to hear this happened at the WCG, which may have actually changed the outcome of the entire finals. nevertheless congratulations to draco. miazga toss is still a fucking beast and hopefully he can actually go to cologne.
I'll be nicer when you're smarter.

hmm here's another funny detail from the polish wcg
"During WCG finals in Poland, spectators were told when to clap with hands when w3 was showed on big screen, sc didn't need such things and crowd was also larger" some fellow from poland posted this on ggnet, haha, funny ;) If force won't work, use greater force.
