You're wrong. He still is.
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?

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.

Such an amazing interview! On the whole good questions followed up by spectacular in depth answers. It was a joy reading the words of Oov, so much so that i will literally be reading through it again.

Reading the article makes me feel like we overuse the word "pro" too much. This guy is a real "professional" starcraft player and role model.

The contrast between a pro like Oov and Bisu is really striking. 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. 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.

i loled at Boxer asking for a soccer ball,
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

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.

This interview is great but somehow it makes me feel sad about the whole esports industry especially in Korea =/

Coach Oov is so intelligent and interesting. I loved it when he talked about Fantasy and about strategy making.

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.

@kbc1335: Plans of switching to SC2 after returning from the military?

A : Nope, and my wrist is in bad condition. Like I said, my arm is like that of a 50+ year-old.

Nope.
