This interview was awesome. Lots of really fun, interesting questions that had a ton of thought put into them.

So, I guess I have to respect his wishes and call him Eyewater, huh...

Very thorough interview, thank you. It was interesting to learn about the logistics problems for some of the players. And the round trip of 100$ is insane.

Why not be called Tear?
Seems better than iWater.
This dude's pretty cool.


the answer is in the interview. He didn't know the english word for Tear and hence translated the literal meaning. Once you pick a nickname you usually stay with it as it has more value

Very nice interview, thanks!

And:

A: I have played jiko/424 many times. I think that it's 50-50. There are many other scary Zerg players such as Soulkey, Shine, and Hydra who do not stream on Afreeca. It could be any one of them.


wow, I can't wait for ASL2.

TL exclusive? Fancy.

On an unrelated note, I think it's a bit odd that the frontpage headline tries to stay spoiler-free by just saying "Interview: ASL Champion", but the cover image is of a shuttle... Who is that protecting from spoilers, people with screen-readers?

Lovely interview! You heard it here 1st mods, change his liquipedia ID to Eyewater.
Eyewater hwaiting!

Funny irony seeing how Sea lives in the heart of Seoul compared to others but still more successfull on online tournaments but fail offline (but I need to give him credit this time for getting 3-4th finish).

Interesting to hear Shuttle's theories on 424. I think it's probably Jaedong, but it's interesting to theorize about 424 being another Zerg. Soulkey's last games in TLPD were some online leagues in June or July. Shine's only games after January aside from a 0:2 loss in an online tournament in August. Hydra is still active overseas in WCS.

Let's see if anything juicier pops up in the next few months.

heres what I'd like to see for season 2

  • Increased Prize Pool and Size (bump back to 32 players)
  • Seed Top 8 into Ro32 instead of top 4 into Ro16
  • More dramatic camera work instead of having player's facecams on either side.(doom zooms!)
  • OGN like resource counter(for the newbs, it is helpful and doesn't take away much)


My reasoning for seeding top 8 instead of top 4 is simply because you basically remove all the good terrans from the prelims who'd qualify into the tournament anyway, leaving fewer spots for new and old faces. I do think this level of manipulation for a stacked tournament is necessary.


I think 4 seeded players and 24 qualified players for the stage game is the most ideal rule. Therefore they can begin R24 to eliminate 12 players and then start R16 later.

They can still try R32, but i have a feeling that R32 will show us poor quality games. Therefore many audience will completely talk trash on game community website.

BTW, there are a lot of minor leagues(on/offline tournaments) out there.
You can check on cafe.naver.com and cafe.naver.com

I just won yesterday for sc1 tour and met Shine as well(took a photo with him).
After that I also won a lottery from that event(You can check on my stream what I won from it).

He's secretly playing and planning to switch to sc1.

Thanks for the translation.

I wish all Zergs would just go away and never come back.

We need Zergs to keep all the Protoss scum down.

This was such a joy to read. Excellent interview and very amusing by adding his and chat's reaction.
I'd love to see this again for next tournament's champion.

I wanna echo that the anti-spoiler title makes little sense.
