Interview with MIRGERVIN on the occasion of the upcoming final of the Ace of Aces Mustang Trophy Tournament, 27th February 2011:

MACADEMIC: Hi Mirgervin, in a few hours you're going to play the final - how do you feel?

MIRGERVIN: Yes I'm quite confident about it I know it won't be a walk in the park though.

MACADEMIC: When did you last play each other?

MIRGERVIN: Edal is very good the last time we played was a few nights ago. I was having a bad day I must say.

MACADEMIC: Were you surprised to make it to the finals, and that you're facing the same opponent as in the previous Ace of Aces tournament?

MIRGERVIN: I knew it would be hard to get to the finals this time round there are some great pilots that took part and I'm not that used to the P-51 as much as to some other planes. I knew Edal had a good chance of getting there too but I've felt this tournament has been very open for anyone getting to the finals.

MACADEMIC: What do you think makes one pilot a better fighter pilot than another? Is it a special talent, instincts, hard work? What is it?

MIRGERVIN: I suppose it's a number of aspects. Keeping your eye on the opponent is a must, also quick turning and I think one of the main rules is to keep the mind on the position of your plane. That is why I always fly in Cockpit view. If I fly in virtual cockpit I find it so hard to know what way the plane is facing.

MACADEMIC: Mirgervin, what does aviation mean to you? Did your interest start before you got the game? What does the game mean to you?

MIRGERVIN: I've been waiting for this game for years. I've always loved World War II planes. But this game has really made my love for these planes even greater.

MACADEMIC: Mirgervin, as a finalist you're going to carry one of two beauties home with you, either Estrellita or Slender Tender&Tall - which one is it going to be?

MIRGERVIN: Sorry, which is which?

MACADEMIC: The big blue nosed one is Slender Tender&Tall.

MIRGERVIN: Hopefully the big blue Slender Tender&Tall. I'm quite confident.

MACADEMIC: Thank you very much for the interview Mirgervin, and good luck for your match!

MIRGERVIN: Thank you Mac and thanks for putting this tournament on, it's been fantastic.

Is anyone going to be awake to for the super brawl?

[MACADEMIC]

Hello all,

The Superbrawl is now having a quick break to recover from the exciting events
of this morning/early afternoon.

In two very heated battles, witnessed by audiences around the world, the Final and
the match for 3rd place were fought. In the first confrontation, MIRGERVIN carried
victory away with a 6:4 win over Edal86. He is therefore the champion of this
tournament and receives the Mustang Trophy. Edal86 fought hard and well, and
could claim the Finalist Trophy for himself.

In the second battle, wolfsalt snatched victory from the jaws of defeat and
from themeistor, who had been in the lead for most of the match.
End result was 9:8. Wolfsalt therefore claimed third place.

We will continue shortly with a lot of fun and action which will last until the late evening.
Any of you who haven't joined us yet are welcome to.

Congrats Mirgervin!

Third place battle sounded like a very tense affair, well done Wolfsalt!

The router that works with my PS3 must be trying to keep sabbath, because it won't let me connect. I'll keep trying.
