MaSmOrRa: So here I am today with Bacgioifro (nowadays he prefers to be called BacT) or Barry. Since he doesn't feel very comfortable about his english, he asked to make this a Text interview and not an Audio one.
His real name is Ha Thanh Bien and he is 25 years old.
Thank you for being here with me Barry, it's already 0:15 for you...
BacT: it's np!
So tell me, where do you live?
I live in a city called Tam Ky. The biggest citys in Vietnam are Ha Noi > Ho Chi Minh > Da Nang and after that comes Tam Ky. It's a very small city.
Do you live with your parents?
I live with friends. I have many girlfriends, boyfriends and...gayfriends!
So you are not married? You have no children?
No, I am still alone...:P
But I saw once a photo from you...you are HOT man!
111111111111 that was probably not me, just a copy!
:D How does your everyday life look like? Do you work?
I am a factory worker. I work in the morning, after that I go take a coffee with friends. In the afternoon I work a few more hours and then I start playing AoC.
So you play AoC everyday?
Yes and AoC is pretty much my only hobby too. After playing a few rated games, I usually just like to relax watching a few recorded games and playing with my friends Madeincholo and tonngo_khong.
Are those your best friends?
Yes, they both live in my city. Madeincholo is 19xx and tonngo_khong 16xx, but they are my teachers anyway! :lol:
I usually play over 10 games a day and they play less than 5, so I developed faster than they did. I just got a new mouse and a new keyboard and I'm training AoC very hard at the moment. I want to be at the same level as Jordan and DauT.
We usually see many Vietnamese players on Voobly. Is there a big AoC Community in your country?
Yes. I think there are easily over 1000 people playing AoC in Vietnam. However many of them play in Garena Servers. Many of Vietnamese players like to play on fast speed and since most players on Voobly play on normal, they prefer to stay there.
In Ha Noi there are not many players, but for example VNS_ All and VNS_ Novalyly are from Ho Chi Minh City and Yellow from Da Nang.
Let's talk about CoT. Unfortunately you were disqualified from that tournament. How far do you think you would have come?
I would have probably finished 7th or 8th.
Really? Don't you think you could have reached the Round Robin stage?
Well, I would have to play Viper on the Final Qualification R1 and after him _DauT_, so it would have been very hard for me to reach the Round Robin.
I assume you already heard of the upcoming tournament War is Coming?
Of course I have!
Will you be playing it with your Vietnamese friends?
No, I want a stronger clan.
You mean like...[TyRanT]BacT? :P
Hahaha I don't know, I don't know...
Thank you so much for your time Barry, was fun talking to you!
Was a nice talk, thank you!
