Q to MVP: You are dominating in all of the major tournaments you play. How do you stay motivated to become better than what you are at the current level? To build on that question, is ladder practice random enough to keep you playing or do you have a specific practice regimen?

Q to Nestea: I believe you have some unfinished business with Naniwa. What is the first word that comes to mind when you hear his name?

I'd like to know if we'll see them in foreign tournaments in 2012. I'm curious because if I remember correctly HuK said on some episode of SotG that NesTea isn't a big fan of them and it seemed like his trip to MLG wasn't a wholly positive experience to him either.

My most interesting question:
Question 1:
The last couple of months Protoss players results have been improving a lot. Could you tell us a little bit about what has changed from your races' point of view, and what are the new challenges in your match-up vs Protoss?

A more specific question:
Question 2:
Currently there are very few foreign Terrans showing good results, while Korean Terrans are still doing very well. Is this a matter of foreign players of other races simply being better than foreign Terrans, or is there something that sets Korean and foreign Terrans apart more than for other races?

And if they're willing to answer this (I doubt it), it's a must ask for everyone who loves drama :
Question 3:
From your perspective, how did you view the way Naniwa acted towards you (especially Nestea) after the games in the MLG Global Invitational and MLG Providence, and how do you feel about him now that some time has passed?

Thanks a ton JP!

Nestea: Have you experimented with unusual unit mixes in any matchups recently? (For example: Roach/Muta in ZvP, Muta/ling/Ultra in ZvZ, etc)

Great news, Looking forward to it! I'm glad you didn't invite them to today/tomorrows episode to be honest. (the drunken(?) episode)

Question to MVP: Does he have any plans on treating his hand(s) (surgery/other treatment) soon? According to interviews, he has had a long-lasting pain in his right hand (if not the left one also), since Broodwar times. Really curious about this, since it is pretty big deal.

Thanks JP & SotG!

Sweeeet! Remember seeing JP saying the chance of them coming on was almost non-existing, when he announced they were trying to set it up, haha. ^^

My questions would be regarding how the relationships between IM members are outside of practice, if they do stuff together etc., and to MVP and Nestea on the subject of if they have any rituals, you know listen to a specific song, think of a happy memory, sacrifice a lamb to Beelzebub or anything like that before matches in order to get rid of nerves etc.

MVP: How is your injury? What is your view on mech in all match ups? Will you win as much in 2012?

Nestea: Are you in a slump? Are you confident to win even more in 2012?

Dear MVP: when you made your ID, did you ever think it would become an appropriate title for you as it is now? (or: why did you make your id?)
Dear Nestea: Do you think you are better than Naniwa?
Dear MVP, Nestea: what is your favorite unit in SC2?

Awesome news, JP. Looking forward to it. Will edit in a question if I think up a good one in time.

Ask MVP if he has any idea of when or if he will fix his Carpal Tunnel.

Question to both of them. As both of them have came from the broodwar scene, do they believe that the BW titans like Jaedong and Flash will dominate if they switch.

This is a pretty big controversy and I think that their input would be interesting considering how they are both dominating the scene at the moment.

Could you ask them what some of the biggest sacrifices they have made to have pro-gaming careers were and if they have any regrets.?

I've always thought tanks sucked in late game TvP, let MVP put that nail in that coffin!

Also, to MVP: What maps do you veto on ladder and why?

Its not really a question that should be asked as the reason Jaedong at least in particular is so good at broodwar is not only does he play a lot but he doesn't complain.

I remember reading interviews with the coach of jaedong who said Jaedong was different then other players because you could tell him to play 30 games in a row doing something and he didn't complain at all while from what he made it sound, a lot of players complain.

Jaedong and I imagine Flash as well both play a lot and don't slack off at all which is why they dominate so much (and talent ). But I doubt nestea/mvp could say really but assume yes just because of how talented those 2 are.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Expanding on this, I'd love to know what they think about other active BW pros switching -- Jaedong and Flash are almost inhuman, so yeah, they'd almost certainly be gods in SC2 too; but what about people like Jangbi, Fantasy, Stork, etc.? If a large amount of current A-team BW pros switched over to SC2, how well could they do, how quickly could they adapt?

Up until now that kind of discussion on the forums has generally just turned into flaming and arguments, so I'd be love to hear what Nestea and MVP actually think.

After watching MVPs rap surface on team liquid:

Do you think Sc2 needs more non-starcraft related content with progamers to grow as an esports?
Which players would be open to those kind of events do you think?
