I honestly believe Plexa's article more than I believe Oov here. The winners mentality is more evident in his talking about mind games and raping the opponent. I think "not caring about performance" is more about the zen mentality of playing in his zone, not worrying about how the game turns out, just playing as hard as he can. Winning had to have been important though, considering the success he's enjoyed. I love the quote about giving back to the time. That's all warm and fuzzy | ||

-Did your poor performance in 2006 make you decide to retire? is probably a lie or staged. Totally untypical for a progamer. Every progamer cares about winning, winning is the only important thing and gives a major motivation boost (while losing does the exact opposite).He probably said that to shed a better light on coaches in general, in order to not have people think that coaching would be just some kind of "catch basin" for fallen or unskilled progamers. Which it probably is. | ||

It's really refreshing to read a (ex)progamer interview so honest and thoughtful. | ||

I love every single answer he gave there. PS. he'd make a great poker player imo. The talk about not caring about the outcome, emphasising aggresion, he knows. | ||

I joined when Boxer was still on the team, and the team has declined so much since then. It’s obvious what he’s going to think of us once he gets out of the military. Maybe he doesn’t remember, but I remember getting scolded by him on battle.net. I wanted to make a team that Boxer wouldn’t be ashamed of. That's a very interesting answer and it shows how important Boxer was/is for the team and oov. Boxer might look at it totaly different, but oov feels the need to make SKT1 to something Boxer would be proud of. One can only imagine how strong the bond between these two is. | ||

When you play, you have to start off with a mind to turn the game into a rape. If you do that, you’ll at least get a win. Oov <3 Adding to SKT's history of being the most hardcore. | ||

Which it probably is. I think you are wrong, I play alot more when I lose. Winning is fun, but beating players you lost too is even better... I get really bored if I win a few games in a row, but when I lose I can keep playing for hours and hours. I think this is how the progamers feel aswell. Winning is good, but losing is even better because it gives you motivation to get better. | ||

I can agree with ZpuX if it's during "practice". Like when you just practice vs a couple of friends or on ICCup. But if it's in a major tournament or league, I don't think losing motivates you more than winning. | ||
