[AMA] MMA TeamLiquid Project

Hi everyone,

with MMA being in Germany we had the awesome chance to do a AMA with him. The questions he got asked, were of course the questions you posted in the TeamLiquid Thread. He answered as many questions as possible, so don't be sad if you didn't get an answer. Always keep in mind he is very busy :P
Anyway, a few of you were lucky. Thanks to everyone who participated! And special thanks to inuh for helping, translating and being so quick :)

Here is the AMA:
















Kollin, UK: What do you think your chances of getting to the WCS Global Finals are?
MMA: I think my chances are pretty good when i win my group in the Ro16.

Ikeuchi, Singapore: What are his thoughts on TvP and TvT in HoTs as compared to WoL?
MMA: In fact many Progamer friends who play Protoss are telling me that PvT got much easier than in WoL. (laughs) In TvT mech play got even stronger than in WoL.

NKB, UK: How are you enjoying staying and practicing in the Acer house in europe?
MMA: I love the countryside and the nature here in Bad Toelz. The Acer house is awesome too it is a perfect environment to train and also relax.

DJ Helium, Sweden: How do you usually practice?
MMA: I think the most important thing when you practise is to control your mind and focus while playing. It's really a waste of time when you just play without really thinking about the game your builds and strategies.

Aviator116, USA: Do you plan on streaming regulary soon?
MMA: Actually im planning to stream after the WCS back in Korea!

Bagration, USA: Which tournament win was most meaningful to you?
MMA: GSL Annaheim was the most meaningful one for me. The huge crowd, environment ,everything was just amazing.

Koesader, Netherlands: What's your rivalry with Ryung like? 
And who's your favourite terran player right now?
MMA: Ryung is actually a really good friend of mine so there is no real rivalry between us. I don't really have a favourite terran player at the moment (or can i say mma?).

Forte11, Germany: What do you do when you feel stuck on certain level and the game stops being fun to you? How do you motivate yourself?
MMA: I think its important that you take little breaks inbetween your training schedule and balance your lifestyle so that you dont get a burnout. At the moment i try to balance it with by doing sports like playing soccer with friends (I am a big soccer fan). So if you feel stuck instead of forcing yourself to invest more time into the game and try harder take a break and do something else.

Whitewing, USA: Which former SlayerS Terran do you view the most as a rival? 
Taeja, Ganzi, Ryung or Clide?
MMA: I don't have any real rivalry to any of them but I can say that Taeja and Ryung are the strongest ones.

IIIH, unkown: What kind of girls do you like?
MMA: I like girls who are wise, clever and kind.

Shi15ya, USA: What do you think is the most important aspect of playing Terran?
MMA: Using the Mule!

Tokinho, USA: At IPL4 as well you spent a lot of time with puma.
Do you practice regularly with Puma now that he is no longer with EG?

MMA: Once in a while when he comes to Seoul (he lives pretty far away) i meet him but unfortunately we dont play any games anymore.

Cheerful, Germany: Do you still play Brood War from time to time?

Not at all. I actually tried it once but the interface is so different that I hardly can send my workers to mine (laughs)

I hope you enjoyed the AMA!
I would be happy if you contact me via Twitter and tell me which Players you want to be interviewed next!

What is Project 9?

Hi everyone!

I returned to the StarCraft Scene with an idea I want to share with you!
You know I have always loved to work with the Community, and to give the Fans the chance to get closer to their Idols. That is why I decided to create "Project 9".
Under this Name, I will create tons of Projects together with you, where we can Interview Progamers  together, do Streams together and discuss anything about and around the StarCraft world.

The most important thing for me is, that you, the Fans, the Community can decide with me and the Project 9 Team together which Projects we want to create. Like I will ask you which Player you want to be interviewed, or  give you different Topics where you can choose what you want to discuss about.

Since I work in eSports for so many years already and I do not have any problems accessing Players or Tournaments, I also can do coverages for you and show you a lot of "behind the scenes" stuff.

Furthermore I have rented an Apartment which will be turned into a SC2 Apartment. From there I want to stream, do shows and invite Players.

You have awesomely supported me with all Projects I have done before, and I hope you will do it with Project 9 too! You can contact me anytime at twitter, if you have any suggestions or anything you wish to talk about.

At the moment there is a AMA with MMA running which you can join here:

This should be the start for Project 9!
