One of the things that I like about Violet is he values his team performance over his individual performance. His #1 priority is to get KT into the playoffs and he's sacrificing individual league (even if it's just GOM) practice time to ensure that he's in top form for his team in the Proleague. Definitely a cool, down to earth guy.

Nice interview! Violet is still awesome. Not surprised to hear that he prioritized practicing for proleague over GomTV, too bad though because it would've been cool to have him at Blizzcon.

Very nice guy. As usual, Korean Progamers are so humble I feel like a complete dirty bastard after reading. how can these guys be so... nice... to everybody?

Any P that admires Reach has my support. (fanboy mode: on) Reach started a new era for Protoss bringing in insane macro as well as unusual mechanics (back then) such as Maelstrom, sudden Carrier rush and multi reaver drops. That's why so many people believe that even though he wasn't the best player ever (maybe the best at his prime), his games were simply amazing to watch. (fanboy mode: off)

Yay!!! Great interview. With every single intervie with Violet I am beoming bigger and bigger fan of him.

I really like how he is geniune in his interviews and really speaks his mind. His interviews are never boring. I'm really glad that after hard time in KT he is doing so well lately.

All the best to you Violet! You are one of my favourite progamers!

Good interview.
I remember soemwhere saying that Violet was to be the next Neo-Reach, being trained by him when they were both in KTF
Same being said for tempest, who, I believe, was said to be trained by Nal_rA.

Either or - i'm glad that he's deciding to stick w/ pro-gaming a bit more and try harder for the fans and himself. I think in the end he'll be more satisfied w/ himself for doing so - regardless of the results. Afterall, its all about the love of the game and trying ur best to compete for recogniztion - all that matters is that you try and you will get respect for it.

I am shocked that he didn't have much time to practice for his GOMtv series against Effort, considering he was getting so close to the finals, being in the RO8 against Effort. He did so well against team-mate luxury in RO16, you would think KT management would have given him more time to prepare for individual league - but maybe management more concerned w/ proleague since it's team-based (evil companies)

but ya - Good luck Woo jung Ho!!
He's definately carrying the torch and representing as a strong/fierce Protoss for KT.

gL Violet!!
