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.
for me losing definitely motivates me more than winning, if I were to win all the time I would hate this game, losing gives me a reason to continue to play I think.

Omg I am so excited by iloveoov's answers... I cant even describe it. His attitude rocks! He says it straight up and isn't afraid of what people might think!
Canata? "Nah, he a puss&@!^! he needs to be boxer like aggressive!"
Any other Terran? "If they don't show skill we'll discard them and I'll find another one on Iccup/B.net! just like Boxer did with me!"
SKT? "Nah skt sux without boxer  "
Boxeroovforever
He doesn't want no generic terran.. he wants rape and that is all he wants his terrans to do

Man I wish I could have this mentality because I think that's what keeps me from getting better...
I like winning! I hate losing and when I lose I feel like quitting! I am quitter

I didn’t beat him even once. He was coming up fast, and I was slumping when we played. I wish we had played when we were both playing well. I really regret it.
Lol. Oov at his prime would still get crushed by Savior. Oov would turtle while opponents would throw units into oov defense hoping to finish him off before his macro kicks in. Savior style automatically counters oov's.
Savior > Monkey Terran

-How did you become a progamer?
I actually became a pro so I could quit Starcraft. When I first started playing, I couldn’t do anything else. If I went off to study, I’d find myself at a PCbang playing games. Daily life in itself was that difficult. So I thought maybe if I actually went on TV and played, things would get better. And now, I finally quit (laughs). Right now, I don’t have any particular withdrawal symptoms when I don’t play.
That does not make sense but good interview

Wow what a great interview.

I can't help but smile everytime I see oov's face, he's such a goof...
this was an AWESOME interview btw, thanks for sharing!

Wow incredible interview, really the best I've read in so long. Thanks Wax and oov. It's so great to hear one of my favorite progamers talk about my other favorite progamers.
Oov is totally badass and I think SKT next year might be something great.

Oov didn't come across to me as much of a turtler. His aggressive style combined with the fact that he cut corners early game for units so he could expand more made it seem like he was playing Terran almost like Zerg, rather than like Terran. At any opportunity, he would expand, so he could get the economic boost of units. That's why him vs. July was so interesting - they were both so aggressive and both sacrificed defense, so the games were fast-paced and interesting to watch.

Oov beat sAviOr on TV once, it was during that race war thing by Shinhan I think, where they were testing out maps to use for the first Shinhan Proleague. Oov destroyed sAviOr on Geometry.

iloveoov also won two more in some Chinese league, one on LT and one on Luna.
I think iloveoov remembers his own record pretty well  so I'd trust him.

oov will make Seri[ScM] a starleague winner within 18 months - you heard it here first
