Good interview, nice and exclusive! Nal_rA, certainly one of best Protoss in world. Seeing as though there's been a Xellos, Nal_rA and ForU interview, go get Yellow or julyzerg for next ^ ^
( funny, all those interview are from player that were on team GO at one point or another )

nal_ra is such a celebrity with the girls in Korea..

After his game vs goodfriend he was swarmed by screaming girls (mainly girls). Of course I followed the girls because I wanted to see Kang min also. He is so damn cool in real life, he spent literally 30 mins signing like 10 things per fangirl (mousepads, notebooks, pictures, etc.). Even though he had been swarmed for so long you can tell he was trying his best to put on a happy and generous face~

I got close to him but I never talked to him or anything..I was trying to take a picture, but my cell phone had died because I didnt have it charged -_- so i just stood there like an idiot looking at him.

Thanks to mani and uhjoo for another outstanding interview. These things are so fun to read, though I do agree that ForU seemed much more spontaneous and direct with his answers.
Fignuts!

first of all, nal_ra is absolutely one of my favorite progamers, along with yellow. they make plays that i don't think anyone else really could. nal_ra's strat on his parallel lines game vs. goodfriend that he mentioned is... art. ^^;; the whole game, the commentators were like wtf is he doing... is he going scout, he doesn't seem to be sure of what he's doing, blah blah blah and when he pulled out his big uppercut strat (i won't ruin it tho u could probably guess), they were positively flipping out-- laughing out of amazement, yelling "this who nal_ra is! only kang min!" etc. a must see ^^;; this guy is the only one that the commentators have a hard time predicting-- and thus, probably his opponents as well. also, nal_ra is probably one of the most humble, down-to-earth, generally "good" guys in the progaming world. it's also pretty well known that he comes from rather humble beginnings and progaming for him is really a matter of survival-- another fact that makes me basically a nal_ra stalker

also, these interviews are as you guys might be able to imagine not the easiest things in the world to get-- basically the g.o. coach who i got to know during wcg is the one hooking these up-- which is also probably why we've been interviewing g.o. team members (former or present). i obviously don't have the luxury nor power to just call up yellow or boxer and say, "hi, could you spare an hour of your time talking to us?" this of course isn't saying there isn't a possibility to get interviews with various interesting and accomplished progamers, so keep your fingers crossed ^^;; also, personally i think there really is a trade-off between "big names" and the type of answers you'll get-- the really established gamers are polished interviewers and they've been asked everything under the sun (and probably have paid the consequences for non "political" answers)-- so naturally you will get the safer, more "boring" answers. (if you really expect nal_ra to say, "hmm i am scared of XYZ" or "please take out this map from tv" then ggnore) i personally think that the next interview should be with a well-spoken, interesting, but not necessarily "superstar" gamer-- also preferably a z/t/random user since we've had two great toss commenting already. someone along the lines of... chojja? gorush? doggi? ggon? also it's also probably been done already but i'd personally like to see more interviews of english speaking foreign gamers in korea like elky, rekrul, assem, peter. ^^;; can some of you guys interview yourselves?

in any case, i'm glad there's been a good reaction to these interviews, so keep posting so i can also get a better idea of who you guys are interested in hearing from and what sort of things everyone is interested in. also plz post possible questions in the thread mani started- we really will read them and your question might be the next one we ask to your favorite progamer ^^;;

good luck and have fun!!

Good job guys. ^0^/ THX Mani and uhjoo.
I agree foru's interview is more interesting than nalra's one. reading some wcg reports, I thought foru was opened to foriegners and trying to be more sociable while wcg, because he is extremely shy and not talkative in front of girl fans. haha. In fact, NalaR didn't say anything new in this interveiw. But I'm not saying I don't love it. Mani was just not prepared to confuse NalaR enough with unexpected questions. > Ogogo and ggon would be interesting interviewees,I think. Because they are weirdest people in pro scene. Garimto said about ggon "the player is type of 'came from another galaxy'."

[edit]
By the way, I found a funny news on progamer org. site. The Korea e-Sports Association announced gamers are going to climb a mountain for regular progamer grounding training. Funny, isn't it? lol
