SC2SEA.com - Starcraft 2 SEA eSports Community Site

**Mayo** · Wed, 20th-Jun-2012, 1:43 PM

Inspired by JP's Real Talk, I have recruited the help of iMsystem to re-create this for our community in South East Asia.

The Tt eSPORTS Talk Corner (Tt's Talk Corner) will be looking deeper into the thoughts, feelings and lives of our professional and top level South East Asian players, managers and tournament organisers. We will be asking in-depth and thought provoking questions which will provoke top quality and intriguing answers for all of those watching.

The first installment of Tt's Talk Corner will involve Jared "TtPiG" Krensel, a full-time professional Starcraft II Zerg Player from Sydney, Australia.

To help keep the community more involved and active in these episodes, I would like you all to think of some questions.
In total there will be 8 questions asked of each of these players, we are in need of two community driven questions. What would you like to hear from this player?

Please bear in mind that we are trying to steer away from the general "when will you be code S", "how many games can you win on ladder" and other general questions. Try and think of things that will provoke heart felt and interesting answers.

Please leave your questions in a post below and we will take them all into consideration.

I will release the next Tt Talk Corner guest once this interview has been published.

From the sounds of it, they are looking for fairly open-ended questions that can get a bit of detail out of people. I'm not sure if they will also use follow-ups to any of the main questions, but it doesn't seem too much of a stretch to get a good half hour of content out of that many really good questions.

Ery-moose is pretty much correct.
These questions are very open for discussion and we will be 'probing' the player to give lots of information and input on what is asked of them.

I don't want any longer then 30 minutes as I feel people won't watch all/most of it.
We do have follow up and add on questions if they try and power through them though.

There is also the introduction and shoutouts to sponsors etc.

Sounds like a good length.

JP's videos go for well over an hour and they're fantastic! But you do have a point, most people have pretty limited attention spans.

Meatex · Wed, 20th-Jun-2012, 2:02 PM

Yeah 8 questions too few but I can understand not wanting to super long videos
I wanted to do some interviews. Got incontrol to say yes but never were able to line up a good time TT

ToRVenom · Wed, 20th-Jun-2012, 2:37 PM

As a kid did you dream of becoming a professional gamer? What was it that really pushed you to improve and become what you are today??

Good question but we have similar :D

ephixza · Wed, 20th-Jun-2012, 2:53 PM

hey there PiG

, I would like to know how did u get into star-craft in the first place ?
and how u managed to get good at it .?

**|Erasmus|** · Wed, 20th-Jun-2012, 3:10 PM

What I want to ask PiG is: What is the best reaction you've gotten from someone when telling them your job is a professional video game player? Also, how do you feel telling people in general this affects how they see you, as a person?

NDG.Stitch · Wed, 20th-Jun-2012, 3:11 PM

PiG how do you remain so nice and calm all the time?!

**x5_dot** · Wed, 20th-Jun-2012, 3:26 PM

Hey PiG, what do you see for the future of the Starcraft 2 SEA esports scene in the long term? (After HOTS and LOTV)

**ToR.Arnor** · Wed, 20th-Jun-2012, 3:52 PM

ToRVenom · Wed, 20th-Jun-2012, 6:45 PM

With Heart of hte swarm comming out Predicted Next year . How much do you think Esports Is going to change and do you plan with WOL or Change Straight into HOTS.

Champi · Wed, 20th-Jun-2012, 7:54 PM

do you plan on furthering your career within the e-sports industry after such a time when you are unable to continue as a player? or do you have other goals in life to pursue after you have finnished progaming?

Thanks for the questions so far guys, I can find two in here that I would defiantly like to use.

Keep them coming

	xGKingdelete:	defiantly! haha
	Dox:	I WILL USE THEM WITH EXTREME DEFIANCE!!!!

**Mayo** · Fri, 22nd-Jun-2012, 10:01 AM

Why did I spell something wrong on a gaming forum >_>

Will be finalising the questions tonight guys, so get in while you still can!

**Dox** · Fri, 22nd-Jun-2012, 10:04 AM

Do you think there is value in a mainstream switch to the NA server for Australian players to increase their widespread exposure? If yes, ponder the possible pro's and con's. If no, why not - and what alternatives would you suggest? (ie. KR ladder)

Paroxysm:

I really like this question!

Shieldz · Tue, 10th-Jul-2012, 4:27 AM

T.T lets hope this is still happening

**Mayo** · Tue, 10th-Jul-2012, 9:22 AM

Spending that sick acl moniez

ETL.ViTaL · Tue, 10th-Jul-2012, 11:36 AM

that'll be sick if all SEAers just ladder on NA for like a month then there would definitely be recognition for our players especially as some people like PiG (I'm pretty sure) are already gm on NA

ThatGuyDoMo · Tue, 10th-Jul-2012, 3:23 PM

PiG, any word on Tupac?

**x5_Namakaye** · Tue, 10th-Jul-2012, 3:55 PM

What do you think you could do to improve the SEA eSports scene and get us closer to the MLG level of competition?

Paroxysm · Tue, 10th-Jul-2012, 5:06 PM

1. The SC2 Scene in SEA is often looked upon as a poor environment for a pro gamer, often being referred to as making the game a 'hobby, rather than a profession.' You have clearly defied this adage, and have managed to live off the revenue of gaming while also making quite a name for yourself. Would you be able to tell the audience what steps you had to undergo to achieve this feat?

2. In the last few months, your skills as both a player and Starcraft 2 personality have increased greatly. If you were to give advice to people wishing to follow in your footsteps, what words of wisom would you provide?

My two questions. I'm unsure if they are very similar to anyone else's, as I wrote them up in a hurry. I like the idea of this show! Keep up the good work guys

ello42 · Tue, 10th-Jul-2012, 6:02 PM

PiG, im not sure if ure the one ive been playing @ GGC those days..

looking forward to more talks from you

**iMSystem** · Mon, 23rd-Jul-2012, 11:22 AM

Here is the first episode featuring TtPiG!

Personally it felt more like an interview than a 'real talk' style show, so after you guys have watcged this, please don't hesitate to lend suggestions out there. I'll take all ideas and such onboard for future shows.

Until then tell me what you thought of it and who you think the next guest should be!

Oh and the audio un-syncs itself with my camera, I believe I know the reason for this and will fix it for next time

Dox:

Would definitely love to see more personal / longer ones next time!

**Dox** · Mon, 23rd-Jul-2012, 11:29 AM

Is it really necessary to "Immunity" brand it so much?

iMSystem:

Tt did the graphics, they must love us :D

**Eddie** · Tue, 24th-Jul-2012, 12:17 AM

Nice Interview first up.
I think future versions should be a bit more personal and in depth/longer if possible. Stuff we may not know about the players, rather than just a bit of Q&A. I'd find that more interesting.

**Mayo** · Tue, 24th-Jul-2012, 4:28 PM

I hope you guys enjoyed this, please leave feedback below.
