The Origin~

It comes from the One_Piece Manga universe it means: Impact Dial: A dial that can absorb the force of an impact and then release the energy later as a powerful blow. Used mainly for fighting, where it is normally attached to the hand with string, bandages, or a glove. The user of an Impact Dial feels some of the dial's force as it releases its power, which can be somewhat painful.

Introduction

What made you interested in computers?

I am only interested in the big possibilities of WWW and the various kinds of games.

Do you think you're on your way to becoming a pro-gamer? What has been the situation till now?

*laughs* No I am not a pro-gamer but I am very glad to play in a league (wc3l) where lots of full time gamers try to become the best players in the world. I hope we can show some good results even if we are the biggest underdog in WC3L history ever.

LAN Gaming

What according to you has been the most funny situation in a LAN event?

when I stayed at a small LAN called LAN Koeln I played the Warcraft 3 tournament there. Unluckily I failed to win the LAN but when I saw Dolorian (the winner in warcraft3) getting his price which was some shitty hardware (30 euro or something) and I saw his face I was laughing like nothing else.

What is your impression of Asian players? Their manners and skill?

They are a little bit shy but they are all well mannered. They reached a high skill level cause they can be Pro-gamers as a full time job. In my mind they are not that impressive in inventing new strategies.

Real Life

In real life whom would you consider to be your role model and why?

I don't know why really but I think my parents are good role models because they stand on the own feet in life.

What are your hobbies?

have fun with friends, playing football, table tennis, poker in my free time, playing games and talk with some only buddies. Oh and watching MOVIES!!

Questions to 1mpacT

You've been part of several teams in the past and more like a veteran, what's your secret?

I play warcraft 3 since 3 years now and I had always a feeling for good teams I don't like to clan hop but sometimes its better to change your walls *smiles*.

You are a very strong player in the elf mirror, what do you think makes you so good at this match-up?

Well its my favourite match-up to play too! I trained really with a lot of elves and I tried to improve my tactics in this match-up since several years. In my mind I am only that good because I have the most experience in this match up and I know what my enemy thinks!

Strategy

What is the biggest imbalance in this game?

Air units and some random luck items like Tome of Experience and Vamp aura in melee battles.

What is the most unique strategy you have used?

Panda solo with hippogryph riders with chimeras against undead.

Team Questions

What is the best part about playing with your team?

Well its nice to play in a team where you can FEEL the team-spirit in every clan war! They are all well mannered and with every victory the team starts to improve their teamwork.

Have you'll met in real life once? What did you'll do?

Yes we met each other a lot of times in real life !(bootcamp, Première League finals at GIGA, EPS Finals and more!) We have fun together and its never boring with the team! *smiles*

Conclusion

Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

Studying and not playing warcraft 3.

Have you ever given thought to becoming a SC2 player?

I will play the game for sure ! but I doubt that I will become a SC2 pro.
