Real Name: Sean Krauter Akas: Flamga Occupation: Swimming Instructor Date Of Birth: 30th January, 1989 City/Country: Adelaide, Australia
Hobbies:
Gaming in general (yes not just sc2 ), graphical design and the like, and the general and obligatory destruction and explosion of random objects!
Clan/Team:
Flash as my team, however I like to think that I can float into any clan I like, thanks to ToR for giving me a place to CW with to help improve my skittles!
SC2 Goals:
I want to become the Australian Artosis!!! There seems to be a deficit in analytical casters in SEA in general and I love analysis so I want to fill this void!
Life and Career Goals:
If all goes to plan I would like to take Starcraft casting as far as I can to a career level. Ideally I would love to be able to do what all the American casters do, including all the hardwork just because I love it all so much!
However I do aspire to teach after this and/or work in the gaming industry. I already work with children and I love it, and that also adds to my gaming as it gives us all something to talk about. Seriously, some parents are pretty impressed when they realise the amount that can be taken and given to gaming
Notable SC2/Gaming Achievements:
Asked to cast the WCS New Zealand (Seriously it was awesome), and that night at the pub after WCS Ocenia, you guys know who you are and I am forever grateful for what you all said (I hope you have my note still Dippa :P)
Featured Online Vods: Sadly none I havent been casted however you can checkout my casts at www.youtube.com/flazertv (shameless plug :P )
Favourite Strategy: Mass harass with MASS MUTA Favourite Babe: BakaInu ♥ Favourite Food: Ramen Favourite Drink: Tawny Port, god I love my alcohol. Favourite Movie: The Matrix Trilogy, its just epic for some reason Favourite Song: Bleach OST: Fade To Black
Players Respected:
There isnt a player I dont but probably as my favorites, PiG and tgun I love how genuine they are and how passionate they are about what they do, and who doesnt like bacon and guns? Arch-Nemisis:
Dont think I would say I have one, in terms of compeition however definitely System, competition between casters? ITS ON!
Best Starcraft 2 player in SEA?:
I would have to say mOOnGLaDe his showcase at WCS really impressed me far more than what I would have thought, however I would say PiG is definitely a close second!
Favourite Starcraft 2 player in SEA?:
Probably PiG, tgun and Jazbas, I love so many SEA players however in terms of likeability and awesomeness definitely these guys, they are just awesome people and play so well as well! Although not a SEA player, I would like to shoutout to KnightLight that guy is so nice and awesome he definitely deserves it
Best Starcraft 2 player in the world of all time?:
Its difficult as the best player tag has been thrown around quite a bit, as players ride a good streak etc. However I would say my favourite and probably best would have to be Nestea when he rose to power, the way he played, the innovation he brought with him and the amount of times he just brought it home was amazing!
Bonus Question: How is your time at Flash and what plans do you have for your casting future? How far are you going to take it!
Flash has been good, we had a rough patch with the new player additions and their first matches. But I would like to say that in the few months Flash has been silent for these guys have become baller players! Flash itself have a lot of coming plans which should be revealed in the near future, which means it has been a bit quiet. However I do think that it has also helped me, with little to do for the moment I have had to pursue my own venue for my casting addiction, which aside from my own bad internet at times and sickness (seriously working with kids makes you sick a lot!) has shown me I really love casting regardless of whether I have incentive to do so or not.
As for the future, I will say that before WCS I had a lapse in confidence as I was finding it hard to get many events to cast or in general just stuff to do in regards casting. Mostly to do with I didnt think most people didnt enjoy what I did. However since Oceania I have been more motivated than ever! Which means I have to get the net fixed so I dont have any times where it fails me and I can cast all the time!
My future goal is to be like Artosis, I love to analyse and cast, and I want to bring it to everyone! This is of course that everything goes to plan which we can only see what happens as time goes on. Although by next year I would like to say I casted a WCS level event in Australia with Maynarde, seriously that guy is awesome and would love to be the analysis to his play by play if you know what I mean.
