I got to sit down with Starbuck and ask him how he managed to play so damn well DH Valencia, defeating players like First 2-0 and Dayshi 4-2 - only being stopped by the eventual champion, Sacsri in the ro8! This was all without his own keyboard and not being able to use his mouse drivers!
P.S. Still working on my interviewing technique, this is just something I do on the side for fun, but I'd appreciate any feedback. My own tips for myself so far are to speak a bit less and give more space for the interviewee to elaborate their answers, just prompting them in interesting directions.
@pig: probably do a better research on the player before you interview him 2 things that just are in my mind: slovenia/russia thingie and "recently you made it into ro16 wcs premier" it was back in 2013 nearly a year ago. not that recently.
thanks for the interview nonetheless. interesting guy.

Haha well he does introduce himself as a "17 year old kid" 30 seconds into the interview - and I wanted to get across how fun and fresh Starbuck's perspective is, in and outside the game. Unfortunately TL thread titles don't have a lot of space so I had to summarise and wanted to include him not having gear - hence the strange sounding, yet hopefully attention-grabbing title!
@Undead1993 "that's a relatively big kid :D

I didn't realise it was so long ago that he made premier, unfortunately living in Australia normally it's very hard to keep up with wcs EU due to timezones and liquipedia had no information about his WCS runs, I guess I'll browse through aligulac next time as it seems to be very well updated. And yeah lol I'd just done an interview with Revolver before so the Russia thing was a bit of a brainfart Will try to be a bit more up to date on my research next time
Cool interview, I think it would have been more respectful to put his name in the title, as opposed to "Kid", as he did kick ass at DH, he probably deserves a little more love.

What do you mean liquipedia has no information on his WCS runs? They are all on his results page.
