Interview
with Testie!
Introduction
by x]O2[x:
He is one of the sexiest and only random players
in the BW scene. He's just won KOTH and WCT
(see interview with DeacoM),
and ended up 2nd in the WGT Season 7 final tournament.
He dominated that season with Mondragon as a
2v2 duo. He's also appeared on the cover of
RollingStone magazine, and is today's most hip
sex object. He is... TESTIE
teamareola.com:
Name/age/sexual orientation. and anything else
you'd like to add. Telephone number, address...
Testie: Well,
my name's Nick Perentesis, I'm 19 years old,
and you can guess my sex from my name. I live
in a small town called Huntsville in Ontario,
in Canada
teamareola.com:
so I read in your interview with Troku that
you'd like the name Testie to relate more to
an emotion than to something inanimate. Anything
specific that you could give us ? where does
the name derive from?
Testie: Um
I was young when I made the name. So umm, I'd
rather not comment on that :D
teamareola.com:
Hehe. okay. Let's talk about your race setup.
I know you play TvsZ. Other than that, it's
all random?
Testie: Well,
not true. That's only for tourneys and such.
I usually random for vs. everything. But right
now I haven't been playing as much as I normally
do so I just stuck to the matchups that are
easily remembered that I do not have to worry
about small timing errors. ;)
teamareola.com:
out of all the matchups, which race are you
most comfortable with vs. the other races? Terran?
Testie: hmm
when I'm playing a lot... I am equally comfortable
with all races. But when I'm not playing a lot...
I.e.: For KOTH vs. Mondragon, I chose Terran
just because they are fairly easy to remember
and do not die easily to cheese rushes. ;-)
teamareola.com:
Do you think that is a big factor in why terran
is mostly dominating all the pro leagues right
now? what do you think of the Terran domination
in general?
Testie: Well
I can't remember when it was.. maybe never.
But in some of the leagues the maps are just
very Terran oriented. And when you look at all
the leagues and how the statistics play out
Terran really isn't dominating. Other players
like Nal_ra / Kingdom have shown that the playground
isn't just for Terrans. ;)
teamareola.com:
Another question - what do you think about hotkey
vamping? Pro or con? Vamping, as in, changing
the hotkeys. Do you do it / are you considering
it?
Testie: Nah
I'm pretty set in my ways. I'd advise people
to play with what they are most comfortable
with. And I mean everything that adds comfort
to your game so you can simply play better.
teamareola.com:
with your *gosu* hotkeys, what kind of sexy
moves have you pulled over the years? If you'd
have to name a few sexy micro moves you've pulled
-- what would they be?
Testie: Oh
dear lord. What a question to ask. Sexy micro
moves are pulled all the time. Except people
always watch replays on x2 / x8 so they never
notice em'. I can't really say a million images
of my units tromping on other peoples flooded
my head.
Testie: One
thing that really sticks out though was the
way JJu would micro his hydras (very fast and
accurate) vs. marines and medics when he didn't
have lurkers.
teamareola.com:
Yes, I've seen some VODs of JJu. They're awesome
:) Any very memorable games you've had?
Testie: I have
over 9,500 replays of myself. 2,400 of my replays
were deleted. I still have over 9,500 of myself.
I'd have to say my most memorable game is a
Starcraft game vs. Liquid`Drone. Where I was
um.. :D But for pure gosu games? I dunno there's
been some great games vs so many players. From
Arang to JJu to Rock to GG to Tsunami, to dear
lord.
Testie: OH
wait! I've got a good one :D It was 3v3 on Hunters.
The winds were cold and bitter that day. My
allies and I were terran, vs 3 protosses. My
allies died before the ten minute mark was up,
and the three protosses (who were fairly good
macroers and spent their money well) weren't
even scratched.
Testie: In
a long and arduous game I eventually toppled
them all with marines and medics. They had three
people, with large armies so they never suspected
they'd need templars or reavers to bust me up.
teamareola.com:
Hehe. That must have been wickedly cool. Moving
along; any favorite maps you like to play on?
Hunters :P ?
Testie: Hmm
I love playing underdog match ups on maps that
people say "it's a protoss map" "it's a terran
map" etc... For instance I love playing me Terran,
vs. Protosses on Nostalgia
Testie: My
win ratio on that is like 99% in TvP so anyone
who calls that a toss map is a fool
teamareola.com:
That's a very pertinent answer :o Do you have
any sexy openings on particular locations or
matchups, on Nostalgia, or any other map? like
5 port wraith within 10 minutes? :P
Testie:Yes.
My opening often depends on locations. But the
nostalgia ones are so cute I don't want to say.
However, for instance on a map like Dark Sauron
in Zerg vs Terran, if the terran is cross position
from you, or simply vertical (that's the y axis
right up / down?) I'd 3 hatch hydra vs. terran
and abuse ramps to kill m/m armies. However
if they were horizontal I would ling / lurker
etc.
teamareola.com:
I meant, unconventional strategies :p
Testie: 3 hatch
hydra (no lair) isn't unconventional? (3 hatchery
before pool!). Pfft. Well then, if that's not
unconventional I don't know what is. :p
teamareola.com:
you should be doing 4 cc 5 rax 6 rax 6 rax then
depot
Testie: I'll
look into it for sure ;)
teamareola.com:
I reckon in an interview I read a long time
ago, you mentioned that people often spoofed
your name. Do you still notice that, or has
that become absent?
Testie: I think
those days for most people are gone. And now
when people do it they're only joking with you.
Though I recently had a few people on my old
names, but they said "eh I'll give them to you
if you want" and I told em' to keep em'. Didn't
care. It's rather non-existent these days I
guess.
teamareola.com:So
you don't mind if I use Testie on counterstrike?
Good :)
Testie: :@
ya shi pal nom a. Sa ga ji. Shi pal sekki!!
teamareola.com:
Am I being insulted?
Testie: No
of course not.. However, never repeat those
words to a korean. ;-)
teamareola.com:
WCT (vs Mondi) and KOTH (vs Suker) Can you give
us a general idea of how things went? Or was
it all kind of like your playstyle (especially
those two games - vs. Anon on Bifrost and vs.
Mondi on Nostalgia) - walk in, do your thing,
and just basically massacre anyone that stepped
in your way? Or maybe they lost due to sexual
exhaustion?... *cough*
Testie: Are
you referring to the game Mondi had won on nostalgia
then he lost it? And the game anon had won that
he lost?
teamareola.com:
Yes, and yes. Those were just pure Nada style,
except sexier, because it was tvz and not tvp.
Testie: Oh,
those were them taking advantage of my instances
of bad play. But I snapped back to reality and
had to give them a thorough gging. My $ was
building and my micro was suffering (in both
games I believe), then I snapped out of my cho
bo trance and re-instated the iron fist. However
they did deserve to win until they just totally
mussed up.
Testie: In
anon's game his was just poor choice of not
getting upgrades, or at least defilers.
Testie: Mondi's
game was simply due to his lack of spending
I think (he told me he at one point had 4.5
k / 1 k in the nostalgia game) so I didn't check
he's an honest chap and a sexual beast.
teamareola.com:
How is he in bed? Is Veg jealous?
Testie: Mondi
is everything you could imagine him to be and
more. Veg? Who's veg? ;)
teamareola.com:
Burn! Low blow!
teamareola.com:
Er, so, what happened at the WGT finals? You
should have burninated everyone!
Testie: lol.
The WGT finals I shouldn't have made it as far
as I did (and I'll explain why because every
player needs an excuse). Though it was a really
great and fun tournament imo. A lot of good
games came out of it. Or a lot of decent ones
at the least. However the time of it was kind
of missed, trogdor. ;)
Testie: But
I feel mine's valid. ;) I was drinking all day
friday (starting at noon), then played some
bw games, lost them all, went out to the bar,
got home at 2:00 am. Then had to wake up at
5:30 am for the tournament. Which in my opinion
is a little miss! ;) Alas the needs of the many
outweigh the needs of the few.
Testie: P.S.
It should have been Testie / Mondi in finals.
teamareola.com:
so, where do you know Mondi from? SexBeastFind.org?
or did you two just meet up on WGT and decide
to become the sexy 2v2 duo?
Testie: Yeah
I met Mondi on wgtour. We argued about who was
better in 2on2 so we proved it as allies. I
slandered him because his record wasn't as fine
as my previous 2on2 records, so I figured "how
can you be as good as me in 2on2?" well. If
you look at the replays, I think we work like
magic, in unison, we are enchanting to watch,
like a nymph, except better. It's like eating
amBRosia.
Testie: Like
having a threesome with BRitney and Jessica
simpson. Like eating cake with your hands. A
truly euphoric experience.
teamareola.com:
Wow. He really is the right one. Marriage? It's
legal, I think.
Testie: In
Canada I dunno about Germany. I'd have to fly
him over.
teamareola.com:
anyways, I read a while back (14th of April
or so) that you become leader of tC? how's that
going? do you see a notable increase in the
sexual favors you're receiving?
Testie: Well
god knows I've asked for them, and everyone
knows I'm not receiving them. But so far it's
still fun. And I hope some of our players get
more active so we can lose to Norway in clanbase.
Testie: *Beat
Norway's ass ;)
teamareola.com:
So tC is doing good, all in all, I gather. what
about Nal? can you give us an outline on your
association with them? or is that private information?
:o
Testie: Nal
is still kicking. Except unlike before where
it was a tight knit family of gosu's who loved
eachother deeply it's become more and more loose
over the.. hmm I guess I have been in it more
than a year. However maybe I'm just becoming
more loose with the Nal_ members because I now
have school and am not up at korean hours so
I see them less often.
teamareola.com:
How is school? Are you going to high school?
If so, are you envisioning college? any specific
career field you'd see yourself going into (other
than progaming -- which is a rocky road, as
we all know)
Testie: I am
so anti work that school could never be a good
option for me. I'm not envisioning college and
it doesn't thrill me. What thrills me is real
estate and the plans that will soon be there
within.. I do not know. But soon.
Testie: However,
I'm still in high school, I'm 19. And I have
a year to go still. Kinda rough, but I've had
my time with the police and my time with Mono
(disease) to give me some credible reasons to
still be in school. ;)
teamareola.com:
Ouch, you had mono? that sucks.
Testie: hoho
it was a backwards case of mono.. one of the
worst the doctor had ever seen: I lost 30 pounds
in 2 months I think.
Testie:Anyways,
Let's get back to the interview.
teamareola.com:
Right. WCG - you've attended three times. Who
have you met as a result of that?
Testie: Eh,
the same people I always knew. So I've met no
one. :D There was no one at WCG!! And I still
lost!!
Testie: j/k
eh, met too many to name. Just everyone who
attended, you know their names likely. :p
teamareola.com:
I'm guessing the first time you met most of
them, you were unimpressed by their physical
appearance? :/ Especially with your amazing
hair.
Testie: Well
the first two years, I was an unimpressive physical
appearance so I wasn't one to judge. In the
3rd WCG, I think I was one of the hottest guys
there
Testie: Though
Fire / Kiwi definitely beat me out for first.
Testie: Those
bastards
Testie: Those
lovely bastards*
teamareola.com:
What BRand of shampoo do you use?
Testie: I use
Marc Anthony Shampoo and Conditioner. It's called
"Strictly curls". Sometimes I also use "vive"
because despite it being cheap it works well
for controlling frizz. (With the conditioner
of course). Plus there are a variety of other
products (From marc anthony) that help with
my luscious curls.
teamareola.com:
You could become a hairstylist.
Testie: To
be honest I wouldn't mind that.
teamareola.com:
micro your scissors! macro your gel!!
Testie: nonono
you cannot macro the gel!!
teamareola.com:
what's the build order for the gel?
Testie: It's
dime squirt (dime size), placing in back to
front. Then quarter squirt, with a controlled
mussing with crimping from hands only -- for
best effect
teamareola.com:
does drone know about your relationship with
Mondi?
Testie: He's
not the jealous type. He's a swinger. He knows.
And approves I think.
teamareola.com:
oh dear.
teamareola.com:
thinking of going to San Francisco for WCG ?
regardless if you make it or not?
Testie: If
I don't make it, huk no! However this year will
be different. This year I will actually practice..
I promise myself. I swear I will practice. And
by practice I mean say <^> practicing and go
2on2 with mondragon
teamareola.com:
that's the spirit.
teamareola.com:
oh. has anyone (a stranger) ever recognized
you on the streets because of who you are on
BW? through a photo of some kind, that is. Or
perhaps, asked you for an autograph?
Testie: I've
been sent fan mail. But no autographs. Supposedly
there are kids in the school I'm at who play
BRood war. And recognize me. They are like "Aren't
you a pro gamer?" and I'm like "hrm?" :P Other
than that, the only person who has asked repeatedly
for photo's (and who has never stopped) is Ksenya.
She asks me thrice a day, every day. Ksenya
= KisS)Playgirl
Testie: I better
say j/k fast incase she ever reads that. Else
she'll stomp my balls at the next wcg.
teamareola.com:
hahaha
Testie: I do
not fight vs. Russian women. Some of them are
only women because of Trunoble as we learned
in the simpsons, and they could probably bench
me.
Testie: btw,
by mail, I mean actual mail packages.
teamareola.com:
I've but one final question... I'll even edit
it out, if you want, based on your answer, but
I'd really like you to answer honestly. Are
you, or are you not... Having an affair with
WC3?
Testie: I'm
not playing WC3. I dabbled in it and did quite
well. But the last time I played WC3 was when
giom and I were bored and he said "hey wanna
go play wc3?" then I kept him waiting for god
knows how long because of some problems I was
having. And then it was real fun. But that was
months ago. So although I've dabbled away from
BRood war it was rare. And my lust for BW BRought
me back each time.
teamareola.com:
Whew. I'm relieved :)
teamareola.com:
Thanks for the interview. As usual, shoutouts?
Testie: no
problemo was rather fun. I give a shout out
to Team Areola for having a moron like me waste
their valuable web page space! And Mondragon
for being Mondi! And Eri for catching me ..
shi pal eri. Nevermind him. ;) And a shout out
to tupac, you stepped on my toes so I had to
knock ya off. Peace tupac. ;) Finally, a shout
out to KatyD and Radivel. Because they'll never
read this
teamareola.com:
Ladies and gentlemen, Testie has left the building!
Oxy: Testie, how's about you ditch Mondi and
we have a good swingin' time back at my place?
Oxy: That'd be great, huh Testie?
Oxy: Testie?
