+ [BSG 16 Winner Interview] +

Zergtastic: This is the winners interview for the BSG #16, and heres the winner, holyforker. Holyforker, how does it feel to win, after competing in previous BSG events?
holyforker: happy of course, to finally win the crown

Zergtastic: How did you prepare for the tournament?holyforker: I practised with my friends who were in gold/diam alot, got beaten alot but from those games I learn
Zergtastic: So you felt that losing helped you in understanding how to beat certain strategies, or did it just push you to try harder?
holyforker: It's not so much about losing, but knowing WHY i lost each game. E.g. bad strategy, bad micro, bad decisinomaking, bad macro, etc.
Zergtastic: Were there any games that you played that you'd reccomend to watch the replay for?
holyforker: The game against Darvan was pretty close I thought, and I believed he hadn't lost when he left, just shows yous houldn't give up so quickly even when shit happens (had DTs in his mineral lines ) I thought I defended the max rax cheese by deniable in th
e finals relatively well too

Zergtastic: You were coached by GGnoRe as a prize, how was the hour long session? Did it help your play much?
holyforker: he gave me alot of small tips for my gameplay (mainly because i had alot of questions)
and pointed out my main problem which seems to be probe production
will be working on that and hopefully win the BSG cup

Zergtastic: One more question, so far its looking like the BSG cup will not be entirely based on trying to improve BSG players, but who has improved the much. Do you think the idea is a good one?
holyforker: Of course, it's great that you guys are trying to include some prize money into the BSG tourney , even though it complicates matters for you all due to smurfs and all
makes us BSG players feel appreciated haha
Zergtastic:
Are you Aussie or singaporean, or from elsewhere?holyforker: singaporean haha

Zergtastic:
Any last shoutouts?
holyforker: there was some guy who wanted me to do a shoutout for
cant rem his name tho LOL. erm. ceylon? i really cant rem.
but for myself
shoutout to darvan
i think he's really good and should keep taking part
he can win!

· If any disconnects occur within the first two minutes of game-play, the match will be replayed. However if the disconnect occurs after two minutes of game-time, then it is up to the discretion of the referee to decide whether; A) the game is to be replayed, or B) player X/Y is to be awarded the win.
· Any disputes will be handled by the BSG admins after reviewing all associated replays.
· Any inappropriate behaviour will result in a disqualification.
· If a person is suspected to be smurfing (high level players in BSG tourneys), the associated player's replay will be judged by several high level players to determine the associated player's authenticity, if found to be guilty of such treason!, the player shall be banned from further tournaments and SC2SEA. If Baka knows where you live, say goodbye to your cat/dog as well. I, Zergtastic, shall go to prison for his actions as a mate in the conspiracy.

·There is no substitution allowed in between any part of the tournament.
-A bronze player who is considered to be platinum or higher ranked player by having really high level gameplay sense(i.e. Macro), is instantly disqualified on the grounds of smurfing. The player is allowed to dispute the claims of the BSG admins by showing prove that they are not smurfing. This will clear them from further future accusation of smurfing.
