Pinder: Thanks, it's good to be here, You guys are great btw been a fan for a long time.
Me: So when did you start playing Starcraft?
Pinder: Well after my jawline became increasingly chiselled i swapped from playing semi-competitive FPS to Brood war.
I played on ICCUP before Starcraft2, so i guess total of 3 and half years
for BW&SC2
Me: What made you become a protoss player?
Pinder: Well personally i dont think i look like a serial killer, i prefer to think im Australia's version of Vin Diesel. Oh right, well i liked that fact that i could move 200 army supply to any spot on the map via Arbiter Recall and preferred to only play with the hotkeys 1-2-3-A & GG.
Me: How hard was it making that transition from BW to SC2.
Pinder: It was actually easier than I had anticipated, because I could select all my units with 1 hotkey instead of having to use 3, Chrono took a bit of time but I finally started getting the hang of it and competing among SEA's best.
Me: Next I would like to talk to you about your time in Nv, what did happen exactly, and why were you fired from the team?
Pinder: Well originally i was lured to the squad with the promises of my choice of 3 exotic medaterranean female beauties and chests full of unimaginable gold and riches
As part of my contract negoitations I was promised that not only would i only be the only protoss on the team (Best in Aus) but I would be the face of the team
This obviously effects the bottom line of my income through sponsorship rights, royalties etc... However, after the debacle of nV team announcment i was not placed in the middle of the NV announcment photo, Moonglade was put there instead This was the beginning of the rift between myself and NV management, as one of my major contact clauses had been violated. Following this the 3 medeterranian beatiues i was promised actually turned out to be:
* An ex-wife of one of the nV managers Dad
* A homeless 67yr old begger pulled directly off High street in Sydney
* A semi-retired McDonalds janitor that turned out to be a Man
With tentions at bursting point I decided i should go and do some Uni work and thus my dedication to SC2 fell away.
All this culminating in myself and nV severing ties.To avoid the backlash from fans, sponsors and the media we decided to hide the actual facts under the cover story of my announcing my retirement.
Me: Well Pinder I am glad that we have gotten that out of the way and that the fans and the entire media can know what went on behind the scenes. Is there any chance you will be coming back to Starcraft anytime soon?
Pinder: Pinder: Well, naturally i have had numerous lucrative offers from teams wanting to bring me out of retirement. The key point to this is that because I am a beloved superstar of the Australian E-sports team, I believe i can retire and make a return at least as many times as the mighty Jack Bauer in 24. I may as well take this opportunity to make my announcment. I have in fact signed a new contract with the new force in Austrlaian E-sports, TTOD - Titties of Doom.
Its total package is exteremly lucrative, the likes of this have never be seen before in Esports history.
This unprecedented deal ncludes a whopping $12 signing fee and a annual salary of $33 CASSSSHH.
Me: Pinder Thank you for the interview and good luck in the future.
Pinder: Thanks! bye
