If you love Starcraft you probably know ChRh. He used to be a random user based mostly on Protoss, and his best match-up was vs Terran. Now he's a Terran user and he's been in a slump, but has recently been showing good promise (again). This interview is 10 months late from when we originally planned on doing it; we are very sorry for the delay.
YGCLAN: Hi. We originally planned on doing an interview with you after we did Elky in January. We asked Xellos[yG] to introduce you but due to a "(fuck you) rush" we were unable to do so.
ChRh: No problem, hi ^^
YGCLAN: First could you please tell us DOB, where you live, where you were born, hobbies, etc?
ChRh: I was born September 15, 1981. I now live in Kyung-Gi Province Shihong City Dochang-dong, my hobbies are snowboarding and inline skating. I was born in Kyung-Gi Province Kwang-Myung City.
YGCLAN: When did you first start snowboarding and inline skating?
ChRh: I stopped inline skating when I hurt my hand...but I still plan to snowboard (but I'll be careful).
YGCLAN: Now that GO team has a sponsor (Suma), do you feel that there is a concrete vision ahead of you?
ChRh: We definitely feel more secure. The economic support has made everything better.
YGCLAN: So are you getting paid a salary now?
ChRh: Yes, but the amount is a secret...
YGCLAN: So all the regular team members are being paid a salary?
ChRh: Yes.
YGCLAN: Recently it's been hard for me to spot you in various starleagues. What would you consider to be the biggest reason?
ChRh: I should've been putting all my effort into gaming, but instead I've been thinking about a lot of other things.
YGCLAN: So you haven't been practicing as much?
ChRh: That's definitely one problem.
YGCLAN: Do you practice a lot these days?
ChRh: I took a break for a month at home and returned yesterday (to GO team).
YGCLAN: How many games do you play a day?
ChRh: 10 games, since it hasn't been that long since I've started again.
YGCLAN: Is there a particular league you've been practicing for?
ChRh: Ongamenet Challenge League.
YGCLAN: Ah, I see. You used to play a Protoss based random, but changed to Terran after 1.08. Is there a reason for that?
ChRh: I picked Terran solely because they're a fun race to play...not because I won more with Terran.
YGCLAN: Not because Terran became a lot better after 1.08?
ChRh: I don't think so.
YGCLAN: So are you going to keep playing Terran?
ChRh: Well, I'm thinking of playing Protoss vs Terran, but Terran otherwise.
YGCLAN: Are you more confident PvT than TvT?
ChRh: Not really. People used to like it when I won against Terran as Protoss, so I want to be able to do that again. I haven't played PvT much, so I'm not confident. I'm sure if I just try I'll get better at it.
YGCLAN: Favorite food?
ChRh: Mackarel (fish). I like fish a lot.
YGCLAN: How about alcohol?
ChRh: Maybe once a year?
YGCLAN: Why is that?
ChRh: I don't particularly like alcohol. My dad was an alcoholic so I don't ever want to be like that.
YGCLAN: What about your military service?
ChRh: I haven't done that yet. Looks like I'll have to go in 2005.
YGCLAN: As infantry?
ChRh: Yes...my physicals came out "Grade 1." Can't get out of it T.T
YGCLAN: Do you plan to continue being a progamer once you finish your service?
ChRh: Um...I don't know. I have to think about that. If it looks promising I will; if it doesn't I won't.
YGCLAN: When did you decide to become a progamer?
ChRh: I liked Starcraft a lot and played hard...the rest took care of itself.
YGCLAN: Are you satisfied with your life as a progamer?
ChRh: After we got sponsored, I've been satisfied.
YGCLAN: Do you play any other games besides Starcraft?
ChRh: None...after I started Starcraft I haven't touched another game.
YGCLAN: Me too ;
ChRh: ^^;
YGCLAN: Are there any progamers that you admire or you like their play-style?
ChRh: Um...let me think. Not these days T.T I used to like Boxer a lot.
YGCLAN: Do you get jinxed before or during games?
ChRh: I used to get jinxed if I didn't go to the bathroom before a game. Now it's when I change my facial expression during the game.
YGCLAN: Any tips on becoming a Starcraft gosu?
ChRh: To become a gosu you have to learn from a gosu. That's how I did it.
YGCLAN: What mouse and keyboard do you use?
ChRh: Samsung black keyboard and Logitech mini optical.
YGCLAN: What are the specs for your computer like?
ChRh: Pentium 4 2.0Ghz DDR 3200 RAM 256MB, I don't know the rest.
YGCLAN: Do you manage your fanclub at all?
ChRh: No, not at all.
YGCLAN: What do you do with your computer when you're not practicing?
ChRh: I browse the web.
YGCLAN: Ok. I've heard that out of GO you have the most normal schedule, and Xellos[yG] has the most abnormal one. When do you go to sleep and wake up?
ChRh: I usually go to bed around 12-2, and wake up around 9-10. I usually go to sleep the earliest out of our team.
YGCLAN: Do you have a girlfriend?
ChRh: Yes~
YGCLAN: Could you tell us what she's like?
ChRh: She's a very nice person... ^_^ Very cute...likes to act lovey-dovey.
YGCLAN: Do you act lovey-dovey?
ChRh: Only to my girlfriend ^0^
(10 seconds later)
Not that much...
(5 seconds later)
Only a little bit to my girlfriend...
YGCLAN: How do you spend the money you made through gaming?
ChRh: Eating and partying, the rest goes into savings.
YGCLAN: Who do you practice with the most?
ChRh: SaferZerg and Jun Sang Wook (GO team rookie, former Kingdom Under Fire champion).
YGCLAN: Please tell us the 3 websites you visit most frequently.
ChRh: www.pgr21.com, www.hungryboarder.com, www.daum.net
YGCLAN: Any gamers you are particularly good friends with?
ChRh: My teammates~
YGCLAN: Please name someone you'd like us to interview next.
ChRh: Grrrr, it'll be fun.
By-im[yG]: Didn't we already do Grrrr?
YGCLAN: All we did was post an interview from a different site...so it shouldn't matter.
YGCLAN: Thanks for the interview~
ChRh: Sure, and thank you~
