An interesting look at the German Terran player.

Dmytro 'DIMAGA' Filipchuk. Lupp also participated in the prestigious Team Liquid Star League, where he shocked the community by defeating the Korean Zerg champion Jae-Duck 'NesTea' Lim 3-1. Polarfluke recent interviewed Lupp; below is an excerpt:
"Q. Hey Sascha, how are things going? How are the competitions coming along?
A. Everything is fine, in the last 2 weeks I had some good results in some online cups and next month I have an offline event, Games Com at Cologne which is really exciting as well.
Q. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
A. My name is Sasha, I’m better known as GoOdy. I am from Germany, 25 years old and I play Terran for the team ESC ICYBOX.
Q. Before your Starcraft 2 days you played Starcraft: Brood War. Tell us a little bit about your time in the Brood War scene.
A. I played Brood war for almost 10 years. I started out as Terran which I played for 6 years then I switched to Protoss. I also guess my biggest success in Brood War was the qualification for the Grand Finals in Seattle where I reached the quarter finals.
Q. You mentioned that you started off with Protoss then switched to Terran, why did you go about doing this?
A. My APM is very low and this was the same case in Brood War. And in Brood War it was really a big problem in TvZ in the mid to late game, which was very hard for me resulting in me losing some events due to it. Then I switched.
Q. During the beta you played Protoss and after winning the Zotac Cup #6 and Competo Cup #1 you switched to Terran.
A. I did not know which race to really play; I wanted to choose between Protoss and Terran. After I got my first beta key I played Protoss but after about 3 weeks during the second wave I made a second account with Terran. So I really started playing both really early and after a while I just decided Terran was more fun so I stayed with Terran.
Q. You did mention that you spent 10 years in Brood War, what are some of the aspects that you have learnt from your Brood War background now that you are in Starcraft 2?
A. It is hard to say but I would say just the general RTS experience is useful. But strategies and that you can mot take from Brood War though during the start of the beta I played Brood War builds just to try out as I had no clue what to do, but it was a different game with different builds and mechanics. So you can not compare the 2 really and Brood war is also 12 years older and over time many things have changed.
Q. Participating in the ESL Pro Series you fell to Socke and DeMusliM. Firstly, how was the experience for you playing in the ESL pro season?
A. It was the first offline tournament and was really fun, it was also held in Cologne in December last year. It was a little bit sad; the games vs DeMusliM were very close and I had hoped for better results but you can not change it now. Just hope that the next EPS season will be better for me."
