Pre-MLG Dallas Interview #9 - TylerLantern

[CRUM]

I have four interviews coming out today. MLG Dallas is rapidly approaching, so I will release an interview every couple of hours or so. First up today is an interview with the combofiend himself, TylerLantern. He had a breakthrough performance at MLG Dallas eliminating KevoDaMan and taking Crazy Dominican down to the last game. He placed top 16 and I felt that it was fitting to get some words out of one of the best Reptile players in the community. In this interview, Tyler and I discuss his time at MLG Raleigh, his training for MLG Dallas, his set with KevoDaMaN, CRAZY DOMINICAN, and Cat, Pig Of The Hut, his thoughts on the Kabal/Reptile matchup, we delve into his sensation YouTube combo videos and much more. Here is the link to my interview with Tyler: http://netherrealmcoverage.blogspot.com/2012/10/pre-mlg-dallas-interview-with.html.

[Smarrgasm]

Great interview. Tyler is an awesome guy and an amazing player. We always seem to get matched up in tournaments and its always an intense set of games. Tyler has always come out on top. If there's one thing i hope to do still in this game its to finally get that one win over him. We have a friendly rivalry and it helps tou push each other for bigger competition such as Raleigh and Dallas. Best of luck tyler!

Thanks Smarr, I really appreciate it. Our friendly rivalry is great lol.

For those that do not know, Smarrgasm has come close to beating me at Battle & Brew in the past with Sonya, but I would barely pull out the win. At MLG Raleigh, Smarr used Rain against my Reptile, and for the first time, someone using Rain made me switch from Reptile. I went to Cage and got the win, but no other Rain player has bested my Reptile, so that is really saying something for Smarrgasm.

Good stuff tyler!

 

[GGA HAN]

Good stuff, TylerLantern! I'd still like to get some games in sometime if we can in Dallas. And thanks again to CRUM for putting these together.

 

[Chongo]

I'm gonna be completely serious here. TylerLantern is the sole reason I main Reptile. Much respect.
