Hwanni is a great guy, I had the pleasure of meeting him in Seoul. Hope he's as successful in SC as he was in CS.

Here's an interview I did with him back then:

Man its so amazing and thrilling to be talking to and getting replies from eSTRO manager himself! Hwanni, if you're looking at foreigners, please pick up ret. He has the skill, drive, and sheer talent to get even better then he is at BW with a good practice environment, and even without such a practice environment he is already at a higher skill level then any other foreigner.

1. Do you have a goal as to when a new foreign recruit will hit the eStro shelves? Like, a month, 2 or w/e.

- Well.. that I can't really say. But just to give ya little tip. I will be at the IEF tournament and I am planning to meet some players. So... hmm maybe in about 1month or 2? that's all I can say for right now. (I just want to make right choice, just like I did with Nony before.)

2. How different is managing the CS team from the SC one?

- Very different. Honestly I can not help any tactical things for playing. This is just my opinion, SC is single played game and it is very much depends on players metal condition. So Coachs supports all the game issues and I usually work on some mental training and give them full support so they can concentrate. CS is very much team game it deals with people since 5 players are in a game. For CS and Special Force. I pay more attention to their team works and team plays. It is really importatn for 5 players to trust each other fully.

Thank you

e-STRO GO! GO!

Oh my god this is so awesome.
Thanks for the effort and patience with us foreigners Hwanni.
I'm impressed by your English as well. Pretty damn good.

I'd like to ask a question too - however I'm not too sure if you can answer it actually.
So - what do you do - if a player has very bad self esteem even tho he's pretty good and yea... basically - how do you try to change someone from a losers mentality to a winning mentality?
What's important, what do you tell them?

(I'm curious cause I'm that kind of person, I can play really really good in practice yet I often get really really nervous and start to suck as well in important matches..)

Thanks already for any possible answer!

invite ret to eSTRO and watch out for Koll. Koll is very young but seems to be very professional. i am 100% sure he will be the best foreigner, it's just a question about time.

Thanks for all the work youve done Hwanni, looking at your posts and ideals it seems esports needs more people like you to move it forward, thanks for the great work, and Estro Fighting!

I guess I have a question after all:
How often do those intra-team tournements take place?
Do you guys announce publicly the results?
Any very surprising results recently?

MuchZerg that's pretty easy to answer even for an non estro coach.
Best performing Z/P/T of estro = Hyvaa, SangHo, Up&Really
Most promising of estro = Action, Flying IMO.

Maybe Hwanni will say something slightly different but I'd say that's pretty accurate...^^

Thanks sooo much for answering this Hwanni.

#Hwanni, What's the team most likely to win the PL?
And how do you think that Kespa is handling the players rights? (sorry if you cant talk about this, I just had to ask)
