With the FnaticMSI Rookie Draft powered by MSI, the creators of the first 120hz Notebook, now finding the final thirty-two players to duke it out for the coveted prize of a chance to play for FnaticMSI. We took the opportunity to talk to some of the players who have made it to the top thirty two in order to get to know them a little bit better. We get a chance to ask them what it would mean to play for FnaticMSI and whether they felt the Rookie Draft was a success or not.
Can you please introduce yourself?
Hi my name is Kristijonas "Kr" Barisas, I am 20 years old living in Lithuania. I am studying management at the moment. Oh, and I am a StarCraft player :))
Why did you sign up for Fnatic Rookie Draft? What was the most important prize to win for you, playing for our organization or maybe a beta key?
I think it's a great oportunity to join this great gaming organisation. And also I want that laptop for first place :D Of course I would like to get a beta key also, but its not highest priority for me. I have tried SC2 and it hasn't left any good impressions on me. I'm getting used to it now. So yea beta key would be also good to prepare for upcoming SC2 tournaments.
What do you think about tournament structure? Is there anything you would like to change?
I like the structure, but it looks like it will take a long time to finish the tournament. Thats the only minus I see.
Now when Starcraft II open beta is out, do you think all SC I players have to switch to it as soon as possible or try to play simultaneously?
I guess there will be no more money tournaments or sponsored teams in SC1, so only the real fans will stick to it. The ones who want to compete professionaly will have to move to SC2 in my opinion.
What are your expectations of FnaticMSI should you be selected to join the organisation?
I feel like I really got the skill needed for FnaticMSI. If i can proove that, I shoud be chosen. We will see.
Who has been the most surprising player for you on the ladder when you see this?
That must be Unreality. hes getting better and better. I'm kinda surprised he became as good as he is now. One more Lithuanian! :))

Hello! My name is Satubayev Shyngis , I am 22 years old and I currently live in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Why did you sign up for Fnatic Rookie Draft? What was the most important prize to win for you, playing for our organization or maybe a beta key?
I signed up because I like to particiate in tournaments and the FRD is a good tournament with awesome prizes. As for me both prizes (Fnatic contract and SC2 beta key) are important.
What do you think about tournament structure? Is there anything you would like to change?
It is similar to The Team Liquid Starleague and I like it but the main disadvantage is that it takes such a long time to complete.
Now when Starcraft II open beta is out, do you think all SC I players have to switch to it as soon as possible or try to play simultaneously?
I think we should try to play it simultaneously because Broodwar is the best game of the century.
What are your expectations of FnaticMSI should you be selected to join the organisation?
Its not my decision as to whether I will join FnaticMSI but if I do I will try my best.
Who has been the most surprising player for you on the ladder when you see this?
In my opinion there is no surprises or newfaces currently in the ladder.

Hello everyone, I'm Mathias "Avi-Love" Høyer, a 24-year-old Danish zerg player. I'm still relatively unknown I think, but I finished in the top 48 of the Teamliquid Pokerstrategy Starleague recently.
Why did you sign up for Fnatic Rookie Draft? What was the most important prize to win for you, playing for our organization or maybe a beta key?
I've always respected FnaticMSI as being one of the leading e-sports organisations, so that's definitely my main motivation. I remember following both the Fnatic CS and WoW teams for quite awhile, so a possible beta key is just an added bonus.
What do you think about tournament structure? Is there anything you would like to change?
I think it's fine, albeit I reckon most players are a bit tired of the mass laddering by now, it's a bit counterproductive to spend hours bashing low ranked players in order to achieve the higher ladder ranks. That said I have faith in Xeris and any tournament/event he's involved with, that guy is pretty awesome!
Now when Starcraft II open beta is out, do you think all SC I players have to switch to it as soon as possible or try to play simultaneously?
I'm personally not overly worried, I think I'll stick to mostly playing SC1 until SC2 gets closer to it's release, I'm sure they will still change a lot of things in the beta. When SC2 gets released, I think we'll see most people make the switch though, I'm really curious to see how the Korean pro-scene will handle it though.
What are your expectations of FnaticMSI should you be selected to join the organisation?
I would expect the team to maintain its high level of professionalism, and I would expect myself to do my best to produce good results - The non-korean Starcraft scene has been plagued by really unprofessional "multigaming/sponsored" teams for quite a few years now, people being promised money and never receiving it, a massive lack of loyality and so on.
Who has been the most surprising player for you on the ladder when you see this?
I'm not overly surprised really, I recognize everyone on the list, so I'll have to say that I'm mostly surprised that I actually made it myself, I only really played for the last 2-3 days of the ladder stage after having a temporary break from Starcraft (I've been playing WoW shamelessly for a few months).

Hello my name is Jian Carlo Morayra alejo, I'm 17 years old and have 5 years of playing SC1 with a passion and I have been able to see more of this game by representing my country at WCG, WCG-Panamerican, IEST and IEF.
Why did you sign up for Fnatic Rookie Draft? What was the most important prize to win for you, playing for our organization or maybe a beta key?
I logged into the FnaticMSI tournament because it was always my favorite team and I always wanted to be part of the FnaticMSI organization and be a gamer as much as SC1 and SC2 FnaticMSI my projects are great and I hope to achieve in the team.
What do you think about tournament structure? Is there anything you would like to change?
Everything is okay. I enjoy the tournament structure.
Now when Starcraft II open beta is out, do you think all SC I players have to switch to it as soon as possible or try to play simultaneously?
I think the players as much as SC1 and WC3 play the game because if they are good in both games, they will be able to adapt and perfect their tactics in SC2. I hope the SC2 community will be bigger and better than SC1 and WC3.
What are your expectations of FnaticMSI should you be selected to join the organisation?
I don't have any expectations apart from wanting to join this successful and fantastic pro team that FnaticMSI is.
Who has been the most surprising player for you on the ladder when you see this?
I think the most surprising names when I look at that are: user, kabal, princess and yayba.

Hello, my name is Jarek "yayba" Pociecha, I'm 22 and I'm from Poland.
Why did you sign up for Fnatic Rookie Draft? What was the most important prize to win for you, playing for our organization or maybe a beta key?
I’ve signed up for Fnatic Rookie Draft because I would like to prove myself as a SC player for this organization in the near future. Also a beta key and notebook for winning this competition are nice prizes.
What do you think about tournament structure? Is there anything you would like to change?
I think that tournament structure is ok, but to be honest I would prefer if the group stage was played faster, giving 2 weeks for it is a mistake in my opinion.
Now when Starcraft II open beta is out, do you think all SC I players have to switch to it as soon as possible or try to play simultaneously?
It's hard to say if all SCI players should switch to SC II as soon as possible, just because only a limited number of people got a beta key and they can play it. Also it will take some time until SC II will be a balanced and playable game, and I don't think that all players will change from SC I to SC II immediately.
What are your expectations of FnaticMSI should you be selected to join the organisation?
Of course I expect a professional environment and financial support for LANs, and normal monthly payment in the future.
Who has been the most surprising player for you on the ladder when you see this?
To be honest nobody made any impression on me because I know most of players in top 32 so I know what to expect from them.
