hey guys i'm here at the thermaltake booth with white raw many of you guys
0:16
might know this if you follow starcraft 2 i'm just wondering what got into what
0:20
was your inspiration for creating mice and stuff with thermal tank uh you know
0:24
i have huge experience in programming science 99
0:28
and my goal is to help
0:32
new players and to make
0:36
esports more bigger so of course i
0:39
use my experience and starting work with tt sport we work more
0:44
than two years and together starting to make good products
0:49
for gamers new generational and same time all people can use it for example
0:53
this products help me play better in my 32 years special tactics
1:00
okay so i heard something earlier that the mouse and everything that you use is
1:04
actually specially made for you a lot a lot of brands will make things after after pro
1:09
players and after whoever but they're just kind of general mice i've heard
1:12
this one it's actually made for you is that true yes it's close to me but uh
1:17
these products can use uh everyone yeah not only in lts games like
1:22
shooters because for example which i uh take out about uh our
1:28
community games community so i think it's very great idea
1:32
it's very cool to see that it was actually made for you so you'll be
1:36
enjoying it the entire time and then people with like hands like yours and play styles like yours will enjoy using
1:40
it as well yeah you can use people with small hand
1:44
middle hand big hand and choice uh
1:50
how let's say different resolution
1:53
this
2:01
yeah yeah okay now some more starcraft questions that i wanted to get to so you
2:05
said 1999 correct what what kind of got you really into
2:09
starcraft and what is your favorite moment through your entire career in starcraft my favorite moment it's when i
2:14
meet with slayer boxer it's a legendary gamer when i start to play like i take
2:20
part in a small tournaments in uh little pc room we see some video from korea
2:26
where it's already final mastercraft they took a full stadium and airboxer
2:31
won three times in a row if you like legitimate players and after like seven
2:36
or eight years we meet on esw i think s something like that to
2:41
some tournament in north korea and they play him in a tv game on big stage
2:47
stadium and they beat him and after this game
2:52
i feel very good myself and i think what my dream was come true
2:56
meeting with slayer boxer and in korea and beat him on real game tv it will be
3:01
a very big pleasure for me
3:04
that's awesome another thing what are your general thoughts on hot so far
3:08
uh it's more fun more unions coming
3:11
more strategy workflow like this of course and
3:17
interest for star capture growing up because in
3:20
some liberty blizzard don't change anything like six months before uh
3:24
coming hard of slime and now huge interest
3:27
very new ability and uh
3:31
i hope uh see in future some new new pie shows yeah yes it's one my favorite part
3:36
about it is how they opened it up to a lot more players bringing like the
3:39
achievement system and the leveling up system and stuff you can see in uh for example in casio's
3:44
more information for people who don't know what happened if you lose
3:49
connection with internet or something happen with computer you can from
3:52
replays back in this moment it's so amazing because
3:55
we have so many conflict situation in tournament when tour core power or
3:59
something happened and uh referees here play a regain or give loose or win
4:04
players but now you just back in moments before we
4:07
lose connections and continue play it it's help
4:12
like see who is who in the hour yeah one
4:15
thing that i've really liked is just a little shout out for my brother my brother cold sc is a caster from canada
4:20
and he's done a few events one big thing is they'll lose internet connection out
4:23
of land you'll lose interconnection someone will lag out and now you don't
4:26
have to completely restart the match like you were just saying
4:29
so nice to be able to pick up from wherever you want and some of the games that they did right when heart of the
4:33
swarm was released when they did like uh you can pick up from where you thought
4:36
you started losing that is a very very cool dynamic that people started doing i
4:40
agree
4:56
