안녕하세요 김경덕 선수. 팀리퀴드 팬들의 인터뷰를 허락해주셔서 감사합니다. 대답들은 한국말로 하셔도 됩니다.

1. 2013년에서는 성적이 잘 나오기 시작했었는데 왜 은퇴를 하실 선택을 하셨나요?

2. 은퇴하시고 나셔도 계속 이스포츠 곁에서 일을 하실건가요? 예를 말하자면 코칭을 하던지 아니면 매니저로 활동하던지. 아니면 뭐를 하실 생각인가요?

3. WCS EU 우승이 제일로 큰 성적이었습니다. 김경덕 선수의 우는 순간 대해선 티원들이 어떤 반응을 보였나요?

4. 우승했던 그날 그 순간에 소감이 어땠나요?

5. 숙소안에서는 어떤 선수랑 제일 친했나요? 떠나고 나서도 김경덕 선수와 계속 친할건가요?

6. MVP 팀원들 중에서 누가 제일로 여자들한테 인기가 많고 잘 대해줘요?

7. MVP 팀원들이 같이 축구를 한다는 소식을 들었습니다. 누가 제일로 잘하고 누가 제일로 못해요?

8. 숙소에서 살았던 동안에 뭐 재미있었던 이야기가 있었으면 하나 얘기해주세요.

9. 왜 처음엔 학교를 그만두고 프로게이머의 생활을 살겠다는 판단을 하셨나요?

10. 제일로 좋아하는 뮤직 밴드나 구릅이 있나요? 어떤 노래들을 제일 좋아하세요?

11. 여자친구 있나요? 그리고 프로게이머 한테는 여자친구가 있는게 치명적이다는게 사실인가요?

12. 이 인터뷰를 통해서 팀원들한테 한마디 해주세요.

13. 마지막으로 할말 있으면 해주세요.

감사합니다 김경덕 선수. 수고가 많으셨습니다. 그동안 재미있고 멋진 선수의 모습을 보주셔서 감합니다. 김경덕 선수의WCS 우승이 많은 분들한테 희망을 줬습니다. 이제부터는 어디를 가든 모든 팬분들이 김경덕 선수의 성공을 빌겠습니다. 화이팅 하세요!

Hello guys!
I'm excited to announce that we, teamliquid fans (that means you, too!), just booked an exclusive interview with WCS EU Champion, (P)MVP_duckdeok

Duckdeok was a strong up and coming player in Korea before he joined the EU region and eventually became the grand champion of the 2013 WCS EU Season 2. His emotional trophy acceptance has since made him a fan favorite. Seriously, it's hard to watch this video and not become a fan of the guy.



Duckdeok uses a wide array of builds, including cheeses and macro games. He had been a solid player since Wings of Liberty, going by the name of Finale, he built a reputation for himself during many GSTL performances where he would take down entire teams all by himself. His best matchup in WoL was PvZ where he used sharp timings and micro control to ravage Zerg opponents. In Heart of the Swarm, Duckdeok remains fearsome in PvZ, but has shown to be very potent in the art of PvP, as well.



What is Project Crosslink and Why have this Q & A?

Project Crosslink was created by myself, Seeker, TommyP and Djagulingu originally because we were sick of bad official interview questions.

There are many things fans want to know about their favorite players, and most interviews we get offer boring, similarly forgettable questions such as

ie. "Are you confident in this matchup?" "What is your goal this season"

These questions frankly suck and they tell you nothing about the player or what kind of person he/she is in real life. So we're staging our own hipster interview, with better questions and chances for fans to interact with their favorite players!!

So this is how it's going to go down:





1. You can post an awesome question for duckdeok here in this blog.

2. Our team will pick about 10-15 questions (best questions)

3. SeeKeR will translate them to Korean, and we send them to duckdeok

4. duckdeok will answer them in Korean

5. SeeKeR will retranslate duckdeok's writings back to English so we can read.



Deadline Last day to submit a question is Wednesday Sept 18th, 2013.
So you guys have a week to think of something creative.


Sounds good?


Here, I'll start the ball rolling

[Q] neoghaleon55:

Seriously, why the hell did you pick duckdeok as your name? Are you like a duck in any way? Do you like duck meat?

You seem close to MVPDongraegu in interviews and on camera. What's your friendship with him like and who are you most close with in the team house?

I heard that players on team MVP like to play pranks on one another, tell us in detail about one of these pranks.

Dear duckdeok,

Before you became a pro, which pro gamers did you look up to? Who were your favorite players, in both BW and sc2?

Do you crumple or fold?

When we cheer for you, do you prefer "DUCK DUCK GOOSE", "QUACK QUACK", or some other type of cheer?

How did your teammates react to you crying on camera? :p

Of all the MVP players, who is the best with girls?

Who is the worst teamhouse-mate of all the MVP players?

You sure he performed all-kills? As in, plural? I'm not sure he's had one so far, at least in the GSTL.

Cool! It would be awesome to know more about him, since he came (almost) out of nowhere and left a huge impact on WCS EU.

Question:

After winning, have you ever been as emotional as you were after defeating MC in WCS EU? If not, what made that win so special?

Q1. Have you ever played/watched Broadwar before? If yes, did you play as a protoss at that time as well?
Q2. I am aware that you have dropped out of highschool to pursue the career of a progamer. Did you go back to school later on or did you take the GED? If not, have you thought of going back to studying later on?
Q3. Are you aware of casters making jokes about your ID, duckdeok, all the time?
Q4. I heard MVP recently had received sponsorship from Hot 6. Are there changes due to this sponsorship?
Q5. What do you think about making a duckface as a ceremony? It would be hilarious.
Q6. Who are your closest gamer friends outside of your team?
Q7. Are you satisfied of your German name, Kimberly?
Q8. Do you actually believe in ZergImba?
Q9. It seems like you listen to good music. Who are your favourite musicians/What are your favourite songs?
Q10. Have you ever thought of actually learning English, since you are now playing in EU league?
Q11. What do you think about people saying that you look alike with Reach? Have you ever met him in person?

After winning your first championship in the WCS Season Finals, did you gain confidence that your approach to the game was worthwhile?

Why did you decide to participate in WCS EU over the Korean or American division?

Is having a girlfriend considered a detriment to a pro gamer's career?

What's the best tasting beer in Korea?

Would you rather fight 20 duck-sized horses, or 1 horse-sized duck?

damn I missed this! Really wanted to ask how he ended up returning to progaming after he said his career was over.
I think it's finally time to admit it might not be the year of Pet

duckdeok has answered the interview...waiting for english translation:

1. 2013년에서는 성적이 잘 나오기 시작했었는데 왜 은퇴를 하실 선택을 하셨나요?

2. 은퇴하시고 나셔도 계속 이스포츠 곁에서 일을 하실건가요? 예를 말하자면 코칭을 하던지 아니면 매니저로 활동하던지. 아니면 뭐를 하실 생각인가요?

11. 여자친구 있나요? 그리고 프로게이머 한테는 여자친구가 있는게 치명적이다는게 사실인가요?

12. 이 인터뷰를 통해서 팀원들한테 한마디 해주세요.

13. 마지막으로 할말 있으면 해주세요.
[7:00:56 PM] duckdeok: 1. 은퇴할 생각은 군단의 심장이 발매됐을 때부터 생각했습니다. wcs season2를 마지막으로 은퇴하기로 결심하고 팀원들과 감독님에게 말씀드렸는데 운이 좋아 우승하는 바람에 시기가 좀 늦어진 것뿐입니다. 이유는 이제 곧 저는 20대에 접어들고 wcs season3 eu 프로필 인터뷰를 보시면 알겠지만 변화하는 걸 굉장히 좋아하기 때문입니다.
[7:06:11 PM] duckdeok: 2.지금은 다시 이스포츠 곁에서 일을 할 생각은 없습니다. 앞으로 하고 싶은 일은 소방관이 되고 싶고 도전해볼 생각이며 확실하게 결정한 건 아닙니다. 여러 가지 일들을 해보며 저에게 맞는 길을 서서히 찾아나가고 싶습니다
[7:08:42 PM] duckdeok: 3.위로와 축하, 부러움 아마 팀원들은 저의 모습을 보고 자극을 받지 않았나 싶네요. 인생역전했다며 같이 기뻐해주었습니다
[7:11:04 PM] duckdeok: 4. 날아갈 것 같았습니다. 주위 사람들에게 너무 감사했고 3살 때 두발자전거에 도전해 성공한 제 모습이 떠올랐습니다.
[7:18:21 PM] duckdeok: 5. 모두 다 친했지만 특별히 꼽자면 박수호, 김원형, 황규석, 서성민 네 앞으로 계속 친하게 지냈으면 좋겠습니다
[7:20:08 PM] duckdeok: 6. 제가 제일 인기가 많았고 그다음으로 박수호 선수가 잘생겨서 인기가 많았습니다.
[7:22:55 PM] duckdeok: 7. 탁현승, 신상호 두 선수가 가장 잘했고 주말마다 둘이서 축구 동호회를 다녀오곤 했습니다. 가장 못 했던 선수는 박수호 선수가 진짜 못 합니다.
[7:26:28 PM] duckdeok: 8. 항상 재미있었습니다. 이번 해 여름에 저를 포함한 박수호, 황규석 선수와 차가 없는 새벽에 자전거를 타고 다녔던 게 가장 행복했습니다. 가까운 바다에도 다녀왔습니다.
[7:28:50 PM] duckdeok: 9. 우선 학교를 그만둔 이유는 프로게이머를 하기 위해서가 아니라 그냥 다니기 싫어서 그만뒀습니다. 프로게이머가 된 이유는 초등학생 때부터 꿈이었기 때문입니다
[7:30:53 PM | Edited 9:05:08 PM] duckdeok: 10. 특별히 좋아하는 그룹은 없습니다. 제일 좋아하는 음악은 항상 바뀝니다. 지금은 The Royal Concept - Cabin Down Below, The Royal Concept- BusyBusy, The Royal Concept - Damn, Venom Is Bliss - Patience (OFFICIAL) 등등
[7:32:43 PM] duckdeok: 11. 네 있습니다. 치명적인 건 잘 모르겠습니다. 오히려 저는 사랑을 하고 나서 더 잘 풀렸습니다. 본인 하기 나름 아닐까요?
[7:38:59 PM] duckdeok: 12. MVP 팀원, 관계자분들 혹은 MVP에 소속되었던 분들 모두 무슨 일을 하든 남에게 피해 주지 말고 열심히 해서 지금과 같은 좋은 모습만 봤으면 좋겠습니다. 저랑 같이 파이팅
[8:10:38 PM] duckdeok: 13. 이스포츠 관계자, 팬 여러분 모두 안녕하세요. DUCKDEOK 김경덕입니다. MVP 팀에 입단한 게 아마 3년 전 12월 즈음으로 기억하는데 벌써 시간이 이렇게 흘렀네요. 3년간 프로게이머 생활을 해왔지만 이 글을 보고 계시는 여러분들 중 대부분은 저를 알기 시작한 지 얼마 안 됐을 거예요. 아마 알아가는 단계였겠죠? 우선 은퇴 소식을 발표하게 돼 저도 정말 아쉽고 슬펐습니다. 이렇게 많은 분들이 저에게 관심이 있는 줄도 모르고 있었습니다. 여러분들께서 특히 더 아쉬우시겠지만 제가 죽은 것도 아니고 멀쩡히 살아있으니 앞으로 작은 오리의 도전을 응원해주시면 감사하겠습니다. 그냥 모두 감사하고 감사하네요. 여러분들 덕분에 지금의 제가 있는 거예요. Fly on, little duck.
