ToD - The Romantic Human!

by Noname on September 20th, 2007 at 10:45 CEST

After serving up some nice Orc for a previous interview, I return this week having interviewed probably one of the most well known players of our game. His name is Yoan "ToD" Merlo and he's been pretty much growing in terms of skill and attitude in the last 2 years. His ascension to the top has come because of immense hard work and opportunities from travelling all around the world to living the pro-gamers dream in the distant lands of South Korea and China!

This interview will merely attempt to deface the person behind the player.

By the way, I really like ToD, I don't know why so many people pick on him. I mean, I'm playing Elf myself but I really find it amusing when he flames about Elf, always makes me smile because tbh most of it is true. Also when he "whines" about conditions at events, which apparently makes people angry, it's his sole right to do so. I mean you might compare him to the sports-Superstars (Ronaldo/Zidane, whatever, I'm not into soccer, you get my idea) in our little e-Sport scene. Of course he wants perfect conditions so he can play to the fullest and give the audience a good show. Why should he play with obvious handicaps which lower his chances to win? Because this game at his level is about winning. It's not a fun BNet game, where you might not care about the result. At competitive level it's about winning.

There's probably no ToD-haters here, so my post was completely in vain but I felt the urge of writing my opinion :D

Was nice. ToD is one of the leading personalities in eSports, not just in WC3. I fully support him whenever he pulls out of a tournament due to playing conditions or poor administering, only wish more players would do the same. Well done Noname.

Coming to the penultimate question, if you could punch someone from the community who would it be and why?

What do you mean if I could ? I can, anytime! Jokes aside, maybe every single player who was supposed to be my friend and when saw me struggling so much with tournament organizers offline stood aside instead of coming and standing by me and just didn't do anything which I hope wasn't to make the tournament easier for them.

=Grubby?
