SC is like sex. You should play often, but never too hard. And you should only try hard when it matters.

Only a single question: Are shades necessary for ISL interviews or not? In most of ISL1 and ISL2 interviews, players have those shades. WTF LOL.

Not all interviews the players wears shades from what I noticed.
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

actually watched these and jumper is right, if you are viewed as a higher rank in the foreign community you never get a break that's basically why I play really hard against lower ranks haha.
I don't need luck, luck is for noobs, good luck to you though

The interviews resume with ISL2-Bakuryu. There should be a few more before the Ro16 kicks of Saturday, so keep an eye on the thread.

Bakuryu seems very likeable. It was hilarious when he jokingly said he would intentionally lose the first game against Kashu just so the comeback kid would be at a disadvantage haha.

I got the impression Andrey was either drunk or under the influence of drugs in his interview. No offense intended if not, sorry in advance Andrey.

I'll have to clarify here. The doctors recommend opiates to use as an anesthetic, but I find that alcohol in the form of P. DranK heals the pain (and drives the voices away).
