Interviews

Trandosite, 20 July 2000

Rod Latham interviewed Di Biasio for Trandosite.[1] Trandosite's introduction called him one of the UK's top players. He was a former UK number one and had placed high at the 1999 Antwerp Open.[1]

  • Start in the game: A friend introduced him to Premiere, and he played from the A New Hope release. His first tournaments were at Gen Con 1997, which led him to events around the UK.[1]
  • Highlight: The 1999 European Open in Antwerp, which he played with Derek Hawkesworth, Leonard Smith, Ian Ericson, Ian Carter, Matt Allen and Nick Rice.[1]
  • Play style: He favoured "mains and toys" ground decks, with Darth Vader his favourite card. He blamed his missed finals on poor differential and on playing to crush opponents when he was already winning.[1]
  • Practice: He playtested regularly with Derek Hawkesworth and Michael Rogers in London.[1]
  • Squadron work: As Rogue 39 he directed the 2000 Naboo Regionals, which kept him out of that year's qualifying. He planned to play the European Championships.[1]
