rD.BW tour #7 is over and the German player LML came on top, and we managed to interviewed the winner.
-Hi LML, congratulations for a well deserved victory.How does it feel to be no.1 on rD.bw tour #7 ?
-Hey, it feels a little surprised by good.
-Could you please introduce yourself to all the BroodWar fans out there ?
-Well, my name is Marius, I'm 21 years old and from Germany. I play StarCraft since about 10years, and melee probably about 5.
When I don't play BroodWar I play Minecraft, sometimes SC2, work for GosuGamers.net, do some programming or do fun stuff in real life.
-Friday we saw some strange openings from you against Zerg players.Could you tell us exactly how that BO works and what advantage has ?
-Heh, I don't like to play the standard BO's which everybody would expect, since that throws a lot of people off, so I try to do other effective strategies which have a special strong point.
For PvZ I chose to play 1base for some time, but against better the BO I executed back then wasn't effective enough and I needed a faster expansion, hence I managed to come up with this.
Mainly the early zealot helps against 5pool rushes and ling run-by's, when the lings are in your main. Besides that the zealots can force the zerg to waste minerals on sunken colonies to delay his attacks and if he doesn't want to react to them with sunkens or zerglings they can as well just do damage
It's simply a 10gate 12forge, then the probe who made the forge goes scouting and makes a pylon at the natural, where a cannon is added as soon as the forge and the pylon are done. Two zealots are made to prevent zerglings from surrounding the cannon. If no massive zergling push is discovered the Nexus is added, followed by gas in main and another pylon and another cannon at the natural, preferably placed in a way to also protect the mineral line against mutas already (concerning  Sayle questioning my cannon placement of the 2nd cannon every game
-Would you recommend players watching the cast/replays to try your builds?
-No, keep me special;P If everybody would use it, I would have to come up with something different.
-You and Zaraki did a great show , but do you think any other player would have put a better fight in the final against you ?
-I don't know who exactly has also been in the tournament, but my biggest fear might have been DragOn and Bakuryu, whom I only managed to beat once before, which was the defiler.ru tournament last Sunday. I didn't take a look at the other half of the bracket, though
-Why Protoss ?
-I chose it already when I was a newbie and played and made UMS maps all day, it just was my favourite race. And after playing the other races I still liked it the most, suits me the best, imo.
-What impression did tonight's tournament give you, and what expectations do you have now that you got a spot on the rD.BW Winners tour?
-Not too many. Looking at some of the players in the rD.BW Winners tour I don't see my chances to be that high. Scan who just won ISL, the second placed Ace, dOTY and spx are all very fearsome.I think I was a little lucky this Friday;P
-Lately a lot of BroodWar events/tours have been made do you think that the scene could get "back" on his feet ?
-It could and will, it's on its best way. Game is putting a lot of effort into it, and iCCup tries hard, too, and we at GosuGamers are looking forward to help on that part in the future too.
We just need less pessimistic people who call the scene dead every day instead of realizing it's growing bigger and bigger again.
-Lets talk about your life now. How is a normal day in LML's life?
-Currently I am done with my social duty by the end of the month (social duty = dodging army duty in Germany), and right now I am having my left over vacation since two weeks so it's mainly playing some BroodWar, enjoying the awesome weather we got right now and tutoring school stuff to a friend who has holidays atm.Nothing special.
-Beside playing BroodWar what other games do you like to play?
-As mentioned above, I bought Minecraft some weeks ago and I have to admit that it's a lot of fun and can eat up a lot of time. Besides that I sometimes dare to go on SC2 where the system was nice enough to place me in diamond league because I beat some newbies and now I get crushed every game by people who actually have played more than 50 SC2 games;P
Besides that I don't really play anything, mainly BroodWar or surf the internet and watch lots of series.
-Once again, congratulations and thanks for your time .Any last words, shout outs ?
-A little promise from some years ago: Shoutout to LRM)OyA <3
Besides that, shoutouts to the GosuGamers Crew<3 and everybody who is supporting the BroodWar scene and still shares the love for the game, also to you guys for hosting such tournaments.
