"There are too many people trying to voice their opinions. There is an old saying that if too many people are given paddles to row the boat, the boat ends up in the mountains. I believe that tough times call for a leader for others to follow. That person needs to be able to overcome temptations of personal profit or inner-group favoritism, and set his sights on the betterment of e-sports as a whole" I wholeheartedly agree with this. This applies for SC2 too, not that it goes through tough times or anything but so many people trying to tell what Esports is, what's hurting and killing Esports and stuff like that. Too bad, the "western" culture doesn't appreciate any kind of leader like this, except for maybe like Day9, but he isn't a player. And I'd recommend this interview to the guys out there who say "nah western teams don't need a coach" and "nah they can manage themselves just fine, even without team houses". | ||

No1 would disagree that a teamhouse is better. But most western players don't want to live in a korean style teamhouse. Anyway, great interview  | ||

A very insightful interview, on both Oov, SKT/SKT players, as well as what it means to be a supporting coach. This was such a pleasure to read. I couldn't help but feel a little sad that he's not a part of SKT anymore though. Man, BW...it's so deep, seriously. I'm saving this interview. | ||

The process of instructing players only becomes fun once they reach a certain skill level. Without a good foundation, they won't be able to execute a strategy, and even if they do by accident, it's building a castle on sand. I would say players that are at least a 3 out of 5 in terms of skill are the ones that are capable of discussing a strategy and bringing improvement to both sides. And people get mad at me for categorically refusing to give them strategy advice unless they are at least mid GM. Oov doesn't even think 90% of his progamer team are worth giving strategy advice to, hahaha, lol what a bad ass. | ||

If I were to coach Jaedong or Bisu, I would first practice their respective race so I am on par with their skill level. When I coach a player, I don't ask for justifications or motives behind their every move. I believe a coach must be on the same page as the player so that he can understand the player's decisions by just watching. In order to do that, coaches need to be able to play like an S-class player. That would be the only way to get the players to respect you as a coach. This is absolutely fucking amazing,wow. I didnt get to know oov's greatness back in his prime because 10-11 was my first full season of watching BW but from this interview he has a such a great mindset/wisdom. True legend,take care oov. | ||
