Audio interview with Cholera - The Mantoss

by kneff on October 18, 2009

The circle is now complete, ladies & gentlemen - Polygon reVue has interviewed Cholera, the one Starcraft commentator that I first started listening to in what feels like ages ago. That’s why this interview is special, as it’s not only 28 minutes of nerd talk with a major Starcraft scholar - it’s also a personal achievement for this humble eSports reporter, and that makes me all varm and fuzzy inside.

Aside from that - I do think You will appreciate this interview as well. Cholera just recently reached 10,000 subscribers and 1,000 uploaded videos, and here he talks about how to mark that success - and how that will involve You. We will also hear Cholera’s true feelings about the enigma that is the progamer Hyuk - the man who’s recent rise to dominance is only rivalled by the many insults hurled at him by this commentator in questions. This and much more are the topics of conversation, not to mention the sweet slide show. Without further ado, enjoy:

I hope You enjoyed this interview as much as I did - please do leave Your feedback, questions and comments below. GG!

Share and Enjoy:

Strategy Tutorial: SK Terran & The Bionic Way

The Terran army can more than any other race in Starcraft be said to be divided in two: the Biological or Bionic side (Marines, Medics, Firebats and Ghosts) and Mech (Vultures, Siege Tanks and Goliaths). The air units seldom have more than a supporting role, especially when a Terran faces a Zerg. In this tutorial [...]
