interview with much

ogn: you are the 4th seed, please say a word of introduction
much: in the past i didn't have an intro video, but this time i do as a seed so it's pretty nice.
ogn: you have the veto option, but i'm sure you must have an opinion of who you want to be in group D
much: actually after i attained the 4th seed, i went to talk to the 1-3 seeds and tried to get them to pick easy players for me. for lee jaedong i couldn't even find him anywhere. i'm close with stork, and he has a weak heart so i trust him to put in an easy opponent. and i got bisu to promise me as well.
ogn: so jaedong, are you going to give him an easy opponent?
jaedong: i'm going to do whatever benefits me the most.
ogn: you never know in the future when your positions might be reversed, it might be good to put in some good will between you two.
jaedong: that's true... i might help him out
(LOL much just said something about him being old. old-toss ftw! and now he's guilt-tripping them into helping him out lol)
ogn: much is looking at stork and bisu, but stork and bisu are looking straight forward avoiding his eyes
stork: much asked me to put in a "weak terran" over bnet the day after he got the 4th seed. and since i promised him i will keep my word.
ogn: what do you think about this bisu?
bisu: i wanted to do whatever would give me the best group, but i think our interests are sort of conflicting
ogn: to bisu: are you close with muchat all?
bisu: actually we aren't very close. we never talk, just greet each other. but one day he came up to me and asked me to give me an easy opponent.
ogn: oh so you don't even know each other well and he asked you for a favor?
(lots of laughter)
much: well i want to be close with him, but because of the age gap its sort of difficult
ogn: you keep looking at the nameboard
much: well i don't really think that there is anyone left that is that huge of a problem for me

SELECTION OF PLAYERS FROM GROUP D
JAEDONG CHOOSES: BACKHO.
reasoning: on jaedong's team, much probably won't think he's too difficult either.
much "thank you" (lol)
STORK CHOOSES: FROZEAN.
ogn: so your teammate is that "weak terran?" (lol)
BISU CHOOSES: JULY.
ogn: are you pleased with this choice much?
much: well since i have the veto option.... (laughter). well this is the first time that the 4th seed has this option, so if i don't use it i think the sponsors won't be very happy.
bisu: well i think that it isn't too bad for him, are you not pleased?
much: i guess i thank you for giving me a former champion...
bisu: i think that if july and much played each other it would be a very good match.
much: i think backho and frozean probably aren't feeling very good right now because we're looking down upon them, but thats not what i really mean. (bs? lol)

insight gained from this interview: TL's joke about old-man toss is actually true lol

Haha... There was an advertisement for the OGN vs. CJ match. The OGN clips were of players doing ceremonies and high fives and what have you, and the CJ clips were of them staring blankly at the screen and each other. CJ is just hopeless at hamming it up for the camera. I hope CJ rips OGN apart.

Savior picking Sea would be an interesting feat for a true group of death.
