With starcraft, it's mostly young men with a good sense of a humor. So, good point? yes, realisitic? not in my opinion. Wow what a horrible stereotype lol... Anyway, I don't see any need at all to make these interviews so "professional". I personally enjoyed lilsusie asking for the unit sounds, as indeed it is a break from the usual "I like Starcraft 2 and I will try it out. Also, I will work hard to be the best." Professonal gamer does not mean dead serious demeanor. Don't gauge how a progamer should act based on what you think will achieve mainstream popularity, because you simply don't know if that's the case(most likely isn't). I mean, FBH makes ridiculous crotch thrusts and half of lecaf dresses as women and they still get so much respect from their fans. Plus, laughing at unit sounds is hardly laughing at them... it is laughing with them... Just like "I will destroy everyone in 2009". And that was Savior saying it by himself. OMGWTF Savior unprofessional! Ban him from Starcraft! My only disappointment was in susie not asking Bisu what he used for his hair. | ||

For whatever reason... when I first read this I thought you were referring to them practicing to make unit sounds with their coaches. I think I am currently a little sleep deprived though. | ||

I always rooted for Zeus to win his 2v2s just so I could see some ceremony action. I think Korean fangirls would also be sad to not see ceremonies. | ||

It's true that the audience is young, so a light hearted interview fits pretty well. if you only dislike the requests for sounds, then don't generalize that all her interview questions are bad. i think they're great. plus, it's sc! the sound mimicking makes it more interesting! | ||

And as for the guy that said it was unprofessional to ask korean progamers to make unit sounds, maybe it is..but I wouldn't exactly call the whole english Gom setup that professional to begin with..Like last season we barely ever got to see Tasteless talk on camera, nor was there a co caster and we had no interviews.. so this season is much better, and I think Tasteless/Susie are just trying to have fun with the whole thing while it lasts. | ||

Therefore, doing unit sounds is also the essence of starcraft. QED. I mean, it's practically part of Korean subculture. | ||

I will train harder. Thank you for your support" But I guess you like the generic answers. If ONLY someone would ask Peyton to make noises. I bet he would. "I think we played well, my team played well, next week we'll have to push harder and overcome the obstacles that come to us". Bleh. I can;t imagine why you wouldn;t want someone to do what susie's doing. Random questions like that allow him to act like a human, not a robot like his sponsors want him to be. edit: haha susan. that makes you sound old =p | ||
