Although I agree that the hilarity of unit sounds makes for a much more interesting interview than the platitudes that normal athletes spit out, I can see where the OP is coming from. If SC progaming wants to appeal to a mass audience and have anything more than a cult following, it pretty much has to conform to normal standards. People find clips of korean guys making SC sounds or dancing in drag on youtube hilarious, but they also don't take these videos seriously because the initial impression doesn't jibe with their idea of a professional sport. Of course, if progaming were to gain a wider following, I'm sure there would be many changes that we wouldn't appreciate so maybe it's nice that it really isn't that big and retains it's quirkiness.

susan's interviews are awesome. savior obviously was feeling uncomfortable to make an overlord sound because that unit is useless, he looked very disappointed that you didn't ask him to make a muta or ultralisk sound.

hey susan, next time can you ask the players to shout" ZERGRUSH KEKEKEKEE", to do a handstand, to take their shirts off or to dress as women next game?
also you should squeeze more english out of them, a simple "thank you" doesn't satisfy us.

p.s. i like what you were wearing and what you did with your hair =)

Why not have the progamers have a little bit of an unprofessional side? If you are asking them to be professional all the time does that mean you also want them to stop doing ceremonies?

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.


does this mean that you are a girl?

I don't like that part of her interviews cause its awkward and they never do it anyway so why keep asking.

this.
If the programers went along with making noises it would be fine, but when they all refuse and you keep asking it just looks bad. They dont want to do it, so dont ask.

Asking someone to make a probe noise is just stupid. I mean, it's just a bunch of high-pitched beeping noises. Did you really expect him to make beeping noises, followed by awkward silence?

If you're going to ask a progamer to make a unit noise, at least ask them to attempt to units that actually talk (e.g. marine, BC)

Also consider that Korean culture also has some dictation here.

For example:
Construction warning signs in Korea have this really cartoony man who's literally drawn like a character you'd see in anime giving you a friendly smile warning you that its a hard hat area.

In the States, you never see that shit. The only image is men using jackhammers or cranes to huge skyscraprers or bulldozers.

It's a cultural thing.
Edit: like this http://bp1.blogger.com/_UNwCu7PyC6c/RqzmcNRfwGI/AAAAAAAAAB8/Yrun7WdCvFQ/s1600-h/015.JPG


I thought of the culture factor as well. Here's my take:

It may be normal or entertaining to Korean audiences, but if I'm not mistaken, the audience for these GOMTV streams is the foreign, english speaking community, is it not? So, we'd have to put more weight on how the foreign, not Korean, community views this tidbit.

I personally enjoy the strategy oriented questions.

This is the most relevant reply, imo. Boxer made unit sounds famous. Boxer is the essence of starcraft. Therefore, doing unit sounds is also the essence of starcraft. QED.

I mean, it's practically part of Korean subculture.



Haha, was gonna post that. Guy is awesome.
