There have been several notable foreign zerg and protoss who have demonstrated ability up there with their korean counterparts (idra, huk, stephano, naniwa, etc, etc). Do you think there is any reason that foreign terrans struggle so much in comparison, or is it just that we haven't found the next wonderkid yet?



What are your views on koreans leaving korea to play SC2 in the foreign scene? (eg puma, inori, violet, hero) Are they just weak players hoping for easy money/fame by being in a relatively weak field?



I'd also like to know their thoughts on IM's brief partnership with quantic.

Non-fluff

MVP, You're recent results against Zerg (losing to leenock, DRG, curious and having a game taken by ANNyeong) have been less than fantastic. To what do you attribute these zergs successes against you. Do you ever have Nestea help you with things that these zergs do that have beaten you?

Nestea, What do you attribute to your recent losses in the GSL and MLG. In comparison to previous results you are in a slump (what most others would consider a highlight though). Do you plan on changing anything practice or playstyle wise?
There is always tomorrow nshs.seal.

I'd like to know how MVP plans to deal with his carpal tunnel, if he wants to play until he can't take it anymore, or if he plans to get surgical treatment.

@MVP:

Do you believe mech TvT to be inherently superior to bio play on the majority of maps? If so, why do you think is it that so few pros play mech in TvT?

Is mech viable as a standard strategy in TvP ( as in: not only one-time gimmicks but as a go-to build)?

These questions need to be asked so my favorite caster can get rid of some prejudices
Also: thanks JP and Artosis to make this possible, you guys are awesome!

1)What are the biggest flaws that you think starcraft 2 has? Is there a solution to them? How would you fix it?

2)What do you think about the expansion HotS? What do you look forward to the most and which implementations made by blizzard do you completly disagree with (conceptwise, not the actual numbers)?

3) Do you think the punishment that Naniwa got was reasonable? The game meant nothing and if it were played out it would have been still halfhearted since nothings on the line anymore. Most of the foreigners blame the format for this and I would like to hear the opinion of nestea especially since for him the game also meant nothing and if he can sympathize with naniwas decision.

I want to get to know the players better, personally. The biggest problem I have with Korean interviews is that they're just so bland and overly nice about everything. "Oh, this will be a good match, I think I'll win, but it will be hard. I need to practice more to beat him" or "Oh foreign fans are great, I love going to foreign tournaments, they make me feel so welcomed". I'm sure none of this is staged, just how they feel, but I mean, really, how often can we ask the same questions? I'd like SotG to have fun with it.

I'd like to know what their favorite foreign foods are, who they idolize (home life, historical figure, other pro), what their opinions are on foreign hair styles. Do they drink? Do they know any languages other than Korean? How is their home life? Would they suggest an eSports career to their children? Do they plan on coaching/managing after they retire? If they weren't terran/zerg, what would they have chosen?

I'd love to hear a legitimate concern they have for foreign eSports events. I'm not trying to villainize them, or put them in a bad spot, but I'd truly like to know what they would say are our biggest failures in eSports. I'd like to truly know Hwanni's take on that as well. I don't believe we as a community truly know what the Korean side of eSports thinks of our efforts.

Regardless, thanks JP and the rest of the pillars. Looking forward to it, and you guys rawk.
My name is Mike, and statistically, yours is not.

thanks a lot JP this is awesome
questions

Nestea:

Do you kill roaches at your apartment or you let them go?
Can you describe your hot-key setup?
If you ever switch races (please don't !) which one would you pick? (same question for MVP)

MVP:
Could you take a picture of your trophy collection and show us?
Is there any aspect of SC2 that you find lacking when compared to BW and would like to see implemented?
What is your most memorable game / opponent from sc2 ?

Thanks
For the swarm!

To both players:

Best game you have played this year? What made it so good?

What do you prefer the most, playing in a lan tournament like MLG where you play lots of matches on one day, or GSL style tournament where you get to prepare for your opponent?

MVP:

Bio or mech in TvT?

What do you think is your strongest and weakest part of your gameplay?

Should we call you a Bonjwa?

When you go mech in TvZ, are you more afraid of early mutalisk or heavy roach play?

Can you please upload some ladder replays so I can have the best Christmas of my life?

Question: Were do you get your patience from? Is it your coach who teach you it?
Both NesTea and Mvp are the worlds most patient players in game, how come?
