Thank you.
Great interview and good formulation of the questions. I think a bit bolder formulation would have made it even better.

Great interview! Zero's so cute when he's ashamed by his supposed lack of creativity.

Sad to hear about his ASL travel distance troubles, he has been my favourite Zerg in the post-Kespa era. Would have been nice to see him advance far in what probably would have been his last major tournament before enrolling, especially with + Show Spoiler +
Effort and Soulkey flaming out early.


(There won't be any big offline tournaments that finish before May, right?)

HE DRAWS HIMSELF! That's it. It's all downhill from here.

Super great interview. He gives a lot of super fun answers and not the standard progamer fare. Awesome job.

Also, is there a list of youtube channels for streamers? I'd like to sub to more of them if possible.

nope, but not a bad idea to make one ^^

Quite unlikely though it really depends on when the next season of ASL is announced.

Oh man Zero is leaving in only 4 months . That makes me sad, he's always been one of my favorite Zergs.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Wasn't he considered the best ZvM (mech) player back in the day? Maybe that's why he's not too bothered by the increasing popularity of mech play.

Awesome interview, pretty cool to read an interview with such unusual questions, which are way funnier and more interesting.
Thanks!

Interesting that he said TvZ balance is due to marine micro being > muta micro. Wish you had a follow up question on the lategame mech switch since I think that's what most people thought lead to the imbalance on certain maps like FS. I guess he thinks mech isn't that difficult to deal with when you have an eco lead, but mutalisk can't do enough in the early game to secure an economic advantage if Terran players are perfect with their marine control.

Yes, it was a bit confusing. He actually said that the thinks that it is impossible for a zerg to beat a good terran due to marine micro>muta micro. When i read that i thought that he was talking about the development of today (like i think the questioner was referring to). My heart therefore sunk a bit. But then he points out that he believes that the balance was worse during the kespa era because of the longer practice schedule and therefore better marine micro. So basically what he was saying was that in general t>z, which is no news and not a problem since p>t and z>p. He also finished the paragraph by saying that he "actually thinks that tvz balance is okay nowadays".

Recently Hero showed us that the late mech switch can convincingly be dealt with in the Ro16 against Last and Jaedong vs Mong aswell. But i'm not an expert on the matter.

Also a confusing term is "strategy maps" as oppsoed to macro maps. In korea they use the word "strategy" to describe what we would call "cheese".

I like how frank he is. A shame I did not keep up with BW while he was still playing post-KeSPa given he's leaving so soon.
Thanks for the interview. ZerO still a hero to me after all these years.
