MwInterview with Alex “Conradical” Hall
Many of you will already know who Conradical is, if you don’t know him by name you’ll most likely have seen his face or heard his voice. He’s a multi-rank 1 US player who has commentated a few events, most notably the recent regionals. As World of Warcraft seems to be creeping back towards the tournament scene, casters will more and more become the face and voice of the community if WoW is to ever really progress into an e-Sport, and I think it’s a good idea to have everyone introduced to their possible new face/voice! He was kind enough to give me some time to talk with him after a few technical issues with skype and recording, and a brief discussion about the origin of my accent (I’m Scottish, but I don’t sound that Scottish, but I kinda do, apparently) the interview commenced, and I’ve written out the transcript for you all to learn a bit more about our WoW-caster.
