BM: Well, it was long time ago. But, in fact, there were some kind of maps, when i did not have any decent internet connection at home (i was using a modem then). The computer did not play like Boxer though. It can not micro, so there is no comparision. They could teach timing a lot, but nothing more. I have never popularised them to anyone and i will not. As to strategies, i think up most of them before the game. At first, years ago, i was having a close eye on the mechanics of Starcraft. I remember i was reading the articles of Tsunami's, Zileas' and many other players i can not remember now. There used to be a damage calculating program of some sorts. Learning all this was hell of a work to do. And when i came to know the mechanics, i made my strategies. Actually, the game was everywhere inside my head. I could imagine whole games, i was calculating the time to do this or that. Now a lot of things are more or less obvious to me. I see and know what to do. But it is much harder to put a strategy into effect during the game and chaos is everywhere. It is hard to concentrate one one thing then.
awesome ^^ i really admire this guy

I started getting into SC as soon as he left, so this will be my first exposure to Blackman. I'll have to say though that I find it funny he thinks 5 hours a day isn't playing seriously. If every top forigner played 5 hours a day seriously Korea would be losing nation wars!

No they wouldn't ;p
5 hours is like.. enough for maybe 15 games if you are lucky (10 is a more likely number). Koreans play so much more than that O_O

Blackman got 3rd at WCG2002, I'm sure the replays are available at WCG.org.

Back in the day even without the proper internet connection, he managed to take 3rd place at a world class tournamanet just by playing against AI modified computer races. Now he may only play 5 hours a day, but he probably has proper internet connection with better equipments, so I think he may even do better than before.

I read somewhere that he also went to local pc cafes to play from time to time. Still, I agree it's amazing how good he got just from playing modified computers and periodically at pc cafes.

From the old one:

Mynock: Looks like your nickname is somewhat describing your nature then? Any particular reasons to choosing it?
Blackman: Something like that. Except my skin I am completely black =].
Mynock: Oh ok. The vampire Blackman.
Blackman: Black in everything, yeah. I'm a vampire since 200 years ago. I haven't been human for 200 years now.
Mynock: I see you have a pretty elaborated role play there for you ^^.
Blackman: Hehehe.
Mynock: You live alone, or with parents?
Blackman: With parents. With my whole nearest family. Actually my walls are all black. I mean they aren't painted black, but they look like black when I cover up my window. I hate light, you know. Vampires hate light. As well as humans. That's why I play Zerg, and rather Protoss than Terran.





Good to see Blackman back though.
