This was brilliantly translated. I didn't realize until the first T/N that it wasn't originally written in English. Mad props, rotinegg.

Great read, it's unbelievable how much depth starcraft really has and how much you can turn it into a science like oov did.

"Oov is extremely well-versed; his vocabulary is well-developed for a progamer (a lot of them dropped out of school early so they speak like a 10 year old) and shares some deep insights. I tried my best to capture every bit of his thoughts, but I strongly advise you to read it in Korean if you can." This left me a bit worried though; conditions for players must really be bad ...

I don't feel like enough people recognize (outside of the bw circle) how much of a fucking legend this man is. If one wants to talk about developing and growing in esports, oov can't be forgotten in the debate. The amount of hours he's put into this game is unbelievable. Let's hope his passion stays fresh even when he comes back, no matter what he does.

Thanks for the interview!
Question: So is it that he is not allowed to talk to Bisu about BOs?

This is the most insightful e-sports interview I have ever read.
Going to watch Oov vs Yellow after reading this, it is an epic game.

For a bit different perspective on e-sports,
Boxer's biography is worth reading, too.Read it here.

Amazing interview.
When the Korean progamers talk about 'the sacrifice' it always makes me sad.
This game is so great, but you really have to devote your life to it 100% to play at the level the fans want.
There isn't, and will probably never be another game in that regard like BroodWar.
I hope oov has no regrets, and knows how much his fans appreciate everything he is.
I want to go back to being weird. I like being weird. Weird is all I've got. That and my sweet style.
