2. Your unparalleled level of in-game awareness allows you to achieve better control of the pace of the game. This, in turn, allows you to be more insightful as to how the game will play out. Do you think this theory of a cyclical nature between awareness and control holds water? Would you reveal a more accurate theory? 3. Many successful pros have foreseen their own styles being realized and have expected their own fall from the top. There is a theory on our website that you are somewhat of an exception in that your style is more abstract and harder to identify than those of the past. Yet another theory considers that you did not innovate a specific style yourself, as did utterly master all parts of controlling the zerg race. Your thoughts on the essence and future of your style? 4. As we understand it, your stone-faced demeanor and unbridled self confidence is viewed almost as arrogance in Korea. However, this, as well as the non-conformism you display from all the other "nice-guy" pros resounds with western culture. You are seen as something of a "badass" and we love it. But I have seen you laugh, and must admit it also seems very natural. So which is it? Are you just putting on an image or are you really that hardcore? (No matter how he responds to this fourth one, say "I thought so") 5. How do you plan on spending your break after winning the MSL finals? We remember seeing some hotties in your booth during the OSL... :p | ||

Test it yourself, Ma Jae. all the doubters go test it yourself, its 12hatchery at 1:44/1:45 (8 OL) vs at 1:46 (9 OL) with seconds variation depending on the map minerals. very nice question.. i'd really like to see this one answered ^_^ would be funny if he'd go 8 OL after this interview all the time | ||

2) Do you know much about the foreign community that follows korean progaming (i.e Tl or GG). If not, would you like to see progaming broadcast with commentators in other languages (i.e english) to reach a larger audience 3) Do you have a girlfriend/ Do you find it hard to maintain a relationship with the rigourous training regime? | ||

2) You are pretty much known as a balance breaker, being able to play evenly on maps where Zerg often is said to have a disadvantage. What do you feel is the primary trait that sets you apart from the rest of the Zerg players and how has this led you to succeed on maps where many other Zerg players have failed? 3) Of all of the players that have dominated the game in their respective times, it seems that you have drawn the most criticism and hate. Why do you think this is and are you ever bothered by it? 4) What was the reason you infested NaDa's command center? 5) What has been the most challenging part of your experience as a pro-gamer? 6) What do you feel about the future of Starcraft? How much longer do you feel it will last on the level it is right now? 7) Do you have any plans to pursuit other games beyond Starcraft in the case that it finally disappears as a major e-sport? If not, what are your retirement plans or how do you plan to make a living? 8) Is there any one particular pro-gamer that has had the greatest influence on your gaming style? If so, who was it and what influence did he have? 9) Do you think it is possible for a player to attain the Diamond Mouse? 10) Starcraft has been out for nearly a decade now. We've come to a point where most people are admitting that there's very little room for innovation and there really aren't too many new things that players can do that haven't already been done before. What do you feel is the best way that Starcraft as a game can be revitalized? 11) Do you believe that it will be possible one day for gaming leagues as big and famous as the Starleagues to exist in other regions such as the United States, China, or EU? Or has the success of the gaming league been a product of Korea's unique culture? 12) Who do you feel the strongest Protoss player is today? 13) How do you analyze various timings on specific maps? For instance, a map like Arkanoid when it was first introduced was a very strange concept and it's obvious that the builds for it are very different from something along the lines of Nostalgia or Luna. How would you discover the best build order, strategy, and timing on a completely new type of map? 14) Of there is one pro-gamer that you can say that you hate the most, who would it be and why? | ||

8 supply also was the common build until people started using 9 supply. | ||

All the progamers always emphasize on how important it is to practice day and night. But... how exactly do you practice? Is it mostly mass gaming, or do you spend time analyzing maps a lot? Is most time spent in developping build orders? For an OSL game, how much of the game and in how much detail is the game planned after the initial bo? Do you get other Zergs' input? You gonna play in the TL ladder bro? Meh, I really have to go sleep, I might add some more tomorrow.^^ | ||

Did the extensive test take that into account as well, since we know savior almost always scouts with a drone. | ||

What do you think are the reasons why you have made it to the top in such a dominant way? | ||

Plus as long as your 3 larvae macro isn't affected, its easier to go to 9 drones. Of course I never knew this at all, thx | ||

What motivated you to pick Zerg; What did you play beforehand? Is there anyone that motivated you to play your style of Zerg(often macro intensive, compared to a ton of other micro-oriented zergs such as JulyZerg and Yellow) How do you feel about your depiction as the antagonist, and as `Hitler?` Some of these questions might have been asked already...  | ||
