And always will be. On another note, he doesn't talk like a 27-ish-year-old to me. Reminds me more of an old wise man. | ||

Maybe it's an age/experience/role thing. Players like Oov and Boxer have had the opportunity to experience the game, or world of progaming from multiple perspectives - as coaches, as pioneers, as the last of a generation, as symbols of the game... whereas the younger legends (through play), like Flash, Jaedong, Stork, Bisu, etc. dont' have that yet, and there's no guarantee they'll ever get there. | ||

but there is a reoccurring pattern that i read interviews of old BW pros that i am unfamiliar with and their stories end up inspiring me. The last interview that had this effect on me was the Hiya(coolest name ever) interview. i wish both of them good luck in the future | ||

I love Bisu for his work ethic and his great play in game, but besides that (and his dashing good looks), he really doesn't have that much to offer. He's pretty shallow in interviews, and I'd hope it's just that he's holding back, but it doesn't feel that way. It's unfortunate because that may not necessarily be through any fault of his own - if he was awkward as a kid, I wouldn't expect the progaming environment to help that Maybe it's an age/experience/role thing.

His interviews have certainly improved this year (the one with Jaedong and the random one before the start of the season) though. But oov is definitely different. | ||

After that, he started slumping, and then I heard about the scandal. I was very sad. Because he couldn't find meaning within the game, he looked elsewhere and had gotten involved with something he shouldn't have gotten involved with. T_T I will read this again. Great interview. | ||
