Interview with Minus)Eagle
Hello, can you introduce yourself? 안녕하세요 , 삼성칸프로게임단에서 게이머생활을했던 프로토스유저진웅입니다.
Hello, my name is Jin Woong, an ex-Samsung Khan Protoss progamer. 안녕하세요 , 삼성칸프로게임단에서 게이머생활을했던 프로토스유저진웅입니다.
When did you start playing BW? Why Protoss instead of Terran or Zerg? 13살에스타크래프트를했는데 , 저그는징그럽고 테란은 친형이해서 토스를선택했습니다.
I started when I was 13 years old. I picked Protoss because Zerg looked creepy and my brother played Terran. 13살에스타크래프트를했는데 , 저그는징그럽고 테란은 친형이해서 토스를선택했습니다.

Do you know anything about the foreign scene? If so, any players, websites, or tournaments? Did you know about Sziky beforehand? Sziky 선수와는 게임을해봐서 잘알고 다른내용은 잘모르겠습니다.
I know Sziky cause I played him in the past, but I'm not aware of anything else. Sziky 선수와는 게임을해봐서 잘알고 다른내용은 잘모르겠습니다. Are you aware of your foreign fanbase? 외국에서도 스타크래프트를 하는유저분들있을거라고생각해서 팬까지는모르겠지만 유저는있을거라고생각했습니다.
Since I thought that people play BW all around the world, I expected foreign users but I was not sure about foreign fans. 외국에서도 스타크래프트를 하는유저분들있을거라고생각해서 팬까지는모르겠지만 유저는있을거라고생각했습니다.
Did you play on iCCup when it was an active server, if so, any players that you remember that stuck out to you? 신피지를해봤지만 게이머는잘모르겠네요
I did play at iCCup but I don't remember players very well. 신피지를해봤지만 게이머는잘모르겠네요 How do you feel playing the unanimously best player outside of Korea? 외국선수와한다니까 조금떨리네요
I feel little nervous because I'm playing a foreigner. 외국선수와한다니까 조금떨리네요
Did you prepare for today's match once you knew who your opponent was? 사실 테란전을굉장히잘하고 나머지전은 비슷비슷해서 열심히준비했습니다
Since my PvT is amazing but my PvZ and PvP are so-so, I prepared a lot. 사실 테란전을굉장히잘하고 나머지전은 비슷비슷해서 열심히준비했습니다
What are the 5 proudest accomplishments you've had in your career? 프로게이머 생활을하면서 5가지 가장 큰 성과는 무엇입니까?
5 proudest accomplishments... I don't have any in particular but I did earn a life lesson. 5가지큰성과는..딱히없는거같고 교훈을얻은게있어요
Do you have a stream where can find you? www.afreeca.com 에서볼수있고 여러전프로게이머들개인화면도볼수있습니다.

Thanks ! Maybe it should be a good idea to put it in the OP, especially since it's not on TL calendar either I hope it will be as good as Pusan vs Sziky !
Eagle has been much more active in the past few weeks after falling into a LoL hole for a while earlier this year. His PvZ isn't his strongest match-up but when he's in shape he can beat any Zerg. On ladder late last year he beat Savior, who basically never loses ZvP, he's also beaten Luxury in a bo3 and taken games off Minho earlier this year.
With all that said, Sziky's ZvP is formidable and if eagle is out of shape or underestimates the Hungarian Zerg, he could be in for a big shock.
Hehe I don't think eagle will take this lightly. It definitely doesn't sound as if he will, and losing to a foreigner would probably be too much for him to bear.
looking forward to this, nice to have an interview from eagle. lucumo hacklebeast stream always lags for me too when i watch it in winxp but it doesnt when i do it in notebook with win7
I bet Eagle, like Pusan won't be playing super-ultra serious so we can see some interesting play/builds in longer games! Remember guys, Eagle is the guy that sAviOr has lots of FPVs vs and he was having great difficulty winning matches. He's also considered to be one of Minus) clan's best and most unbeatable straight-up.
Hackle and Elegant thanx for stream. Both players played impressevly and showed some great games, i think Sziky was still mentally in the isl. Not enough time to prepare properly for show match. gg
So after playing Sziky, how do you feel about the games? Is there a new level of respect for our ability, or were you taking it easy on him? I played a lot of practice games with Sziky before, so I knew his skill level already. In Korea, you can become a professional gamer after you achieve a semi-progamer title, and his skill level was better than semi-progamer.
Game 1 was one of the best ZvP's I've seen in a long time. Do you think you played well in that game? Did it make you focus and play harder during all of the next games? I played so many bo matches, and believe that the first game is the most important game of those bo's (bo = best of, ex: bo7). I am also planning to do that, I wanted to give viewers a strong impression. I tried my best and focused.
Game 4 you were very close to death but Sziky didn't capitalize, what was going through your mind at that time, and what did you know that you had to do to win each of that game? For the fourth game, as you saw the game, I stormed on the lurker. Sziky dropped on my base right away, which I never expected and thought I lost that game, but it was very lucky for me. I tried to use as many builds as possible most of the time.
I'd like to thank you sincerely for playing in this showmatch and honoring us with great games and your presence, are there any final comments you'd like to make about everything that occured with this showmatch or the future of Eagle and foreign BW? I didn't experience that much in the professional scene, so I am thankful for this opportunity. I would like to participate in the next ISL tournament but since it's impossible, I had a great experience in this showmatch.

This made me really sad .... why ISL wouldn't allow players like minus eagle in to the tournament . The competition should allow every players out there in the world to compete and only the best will win the tournament .Even if it means only koreans are the best at this game .
I don't know about the vods, but I will have youtube up in less than 12 hours. other than that, you can go to my twitch channel and watch the vod there if you want to see it imminently.

You should really do a "sayle" and put the information in your twitch/youtube in your signature; i always forget where i can find you!
Also: Great finals, great show match, and great highlight video(s)! This has been fantastic. Hoping for more soon!

This is something amazing to see, coming straight from a Korean pro. Sziky is a true monster of BW.
Amazing games throughout the entire tourney. Great (if not the best so far) organization, great casters (the Elegant/hacklebeast combo is awesome ). This is definitely the best kind of event we need in the community. I just want to thank everyone for making this possible, and I hope I'll get good enough so I can tear everyone apart in the next ISL
