---------- The Favourites ----------
draKe, Blysk, Yekke & ProAnnn
FlashDrake Real Name: Bryan Sum Date Of Birth: 15/12/92 Clan/Team: Team – Flash eSports, Clan – Imperial Occupation: Student at NUS Hobbies: SC2, music, electric guitar Life and Career Goals: Too early to say right now.
Most Notable SC2 Achievements:
Alienware Arena champ
NUS CGF SC2 champ
Vengeance Cup quali #3 champ (LAN)
How do you find HotS?
HotS is great, much better than WoL balance-wise and gameplay-wise. Terran isn't bad against zerg anymore, and the game has become more strategically diverse and less passive which makes it more interesting for players and viewers. My only complaint would be hellbat drops in tvt, they are way too strong right now and makes biotank very much less viable.
Most feared opponent in the vengeance cup finals?
None. I believe that I can beat everyone in this tournament if I'm playing to standard.
Predict the top 3 finishers in order
All Flash ofc, myself, Blysk, Rev in that order. If there's an unfortunate teamkill, I expect one of Yekke/ProAnnn to get a podium finish - the 5 of us are the best players in this tournament.

How do you find HotS?
Hots is really engaging, i really love the game, it has made the game much more interesting so many new options to the game its really fun to learn and play. But i do feel there are a few units that Are, not imbalanced, but too easy to use for certain races in respect to their production costs.
Most feared opponent in the vengeance cup finals?
Fear is a choice, I do not fear any opponent in vengeance cup.My aim is to win the finals without dropping a single map.
Predict the top 3 finishers in order
My prediction for top 3 is Me 1st , Drake 2nd, and probably proannn 3rd. Wouldve had Yekke or revenant at 3rd but them playing at NUS qualifier was rather shocking, hope they can show better games in the finals
EveYekke Real Name: Jason Chan Date Of Birth: February 3, 1995 Clan/Team: Team Eve Occupation: Student Hobbies: Playing SC2 Life and Career Goals: No clue atm
How do you find HotS?
HotS has been a lot more fun and exciting than WoL, especially ZvT with the addition of the Widow Mines and the absence of 30 minute turtle games all the time.
Most feared opponent in the vengeance cup finals?
drakE is probably going to be the hardest opponent. My ZvT isn't very good at the moment and he's been practicing hard for a while now. I'm not sure if I can catch up.

How do you find HotS?
HotS has been a new start for me, as well as every other Singaporeans. It's a strategy and partial experience reset for most players. I'm enjoying it but to be honest I wish they gave Zerg a unit to utilize more in the early game(e.g. Hellbat/Widowmines for Terran, or Mothership/Oracle for Protoss) That being said, the game is still new so I'm still trying to adapt to it admist being in Army.
Most feared opponent in the vengeance cup finals?
I'd say I don't have a most feared opponent, but Drake cuts it close. Generally, I'm not as confident against anyone as opposed to Wings of Liberty times.

Notable SC2/Gaming Achievements:
#2 in Vengeance Cup Qualifier #1
How do you find HotS?
I find that HotS has opened up more ways to play as Protoss which makes it really interesting. Units like the mothership core and oracle open up new timings which I really like given my wacky/cheesy tendencies.
Most feared opponent in the vengeance cup finals?
I generally don't like to play against any protoss as I personally feel it depends quite a bit on luck and the game can easily go either way but most feared opponent I would have to say is Drake since I've always struggled in PvT and he seems to be in really good form recently.

If everything goes well I would say me, drake, blysk in that order
