Our very own TLO advanced to the main round of GSL 2.
I decided to translate an interview done by Fomos.kr with TLO. (Korean source)
http://fomos.kr/board/board.php?mode=read&keyno=111068&db=interview
Bit ironic that I am translating an interview that was probably done in English originally.
If Fomos decides to give TL the original interview transcript in English, then please feel free to delete this translation of mine.
(I would appreciate a short message confirming it so, however =) )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'TLO' Dario (Team Liquid) advanced to the main round in second consecutive season.
Dario advanced to main round in GSL Open Season 2 elimination day #3, held in Sin-Do-Rim Techno-mart Intel E-Stadium on October 11th, once again seizing the opportunity to show off his play to Korean fans.
- Your thoughts on advancing to RO 64
Dario: I am very happy. A bunch of famous players getting eliminated scared me, and I can't believe I advanced to the main rounds.
- How was elimination round in comparison to the last season's?
Dario: Even though it was more difficult, there wasn't a huge change. Last season's elimination round was much easier.
- You got eliminated at RO 32 last season
Dario: My goal is growing along with my skills, and I hope to get to at least RO 16 this time.
- Did living(practicing) with oGs benefit you in a significant way?
Dario: It was great help in increasing my skill, and I liked it as everyone's nice and have good relationship with each other. Instead of just getting helped, I think I am helping them out too, forming a symbiotic relationship.
- Any thoughts on joining a Korean team?
Dario: I have strong loyalty to Team Liquid. (laugh) It's a team I really like, so have no thoughts of leaving it.
- Any player you want to head-to-head against in main rounds?
Dario: Would be an honor to play against Lim-Yo-Hwan (Slayers_Boxer), but I'll be sure to give it my best whoever my opponent may become.
- There is a lower number(ratio) of foreign players advancing compared to last season, what are the thoughts of foreign players?
Dario: I do not believe that is because of increased skill-difference between Koreans and Foreigners. Many famous over-sea players did not participate, and players like myself and Greg Fields (Idra) are not with a pro-team. I believe there will be a better result in season 3 if pro-players playing in Europe participates.
- Your unique playstyled gathered a large fan base in Korea, any word to your Korean fans?
Dario: I am very happy that you guys like my games. It is a big honor for me to have Korean fans cheering me on. Despite there being many famous players in Korea, I am thankful to have them support me.
- Any other words?
Dario; There will be more players participating (in tournaments) from Team Liquid.
I do wish you guys will continue to watch out for our team member's games.

I doubt the interview went like this. It's important to realize for everyone that English interviews translated from Korean done with a foreigner will most likely have a bunch of inaccuracies that slipped in somewhere. Can't take too much from them.

Should an an honor.

TLO is the sexiest German since Hasselhoff.

Well considering that three foreigners that belong to the better players of the western scene (though arguably are not really top-notch) failed to qualify I find it hard to believe that there is no increasing skill gap between Na/EU and Korea.
|
|
|
I want to see the fan girls that TLO already has!
|
That's TLO for you: you see one of his crazy games and you're an instant fan.
So awesome, being a fan favorite even in Korea
|
Props to TLO! Don't sell yourself short, you'll make it past RO16. Boxer believes in you :D
Also: Korean fangirls FTW. ^^
|
Good luck in the next rounds TLO!
I hope him and Boxer don't face each other until like ro16, would be such hype!

You are forming conclusions based on a sample of two, of which one has only been in Korea for a few days. I assume you followed statistics in school so you can figure out how shortsighted that is. Please don't do things like this it is very annoying for everyone.

haypro really hasn't done anything as of late in terms of being a competitive zerg, jinro failed to qualify before, and artosis really isn't of the same caliber as some of the players in the tournament. and then a bunch of wouldn't it be fun foreigners who came over and didn't qualify just like alot of the wouldn't it be fun koreans.
So i'd give jinro the most likely chance of qualifying of the three "big" foreigners (Jinro, Haypro, Artosis) and he still hasn't adapted to korean style yet. i figured haypro wouldn't have a shot as a zerg unused to korean playstyle (since you need to be comfortable with what the opponent is doing as a zerg), and artosis, eh he can just cast the damn thing and be awesome that way.
So we are 2/2 on the foreigners Who actually have a shot at it. Haypro will get alot better by season 3 and be able to make it then, ret will have issues, huk probably will make it.
There just are alot less foreigners who are familiar with korean sc2 which has a bunch of different timings, and for zerg especially that takes some effort to overcome.
Also, Go TLO ^^

Riiight and Tester and Top really didn't deserve to win either

I think it'd be sweet to see some Korean signs with TLO written on them! :D
Thanks for translating the translated interview!
|
Boxer vs TLO, can the game be more epic than that first set with oGshyperdub?
Regardless, go TLO!
|
FK yea! I woke up just wanting to know if TLO had qualified! :D I am really really happy, and cant wait to see some live games!! This is awesome
|
way to go!
TLO FIGHTIIIIIIIIIING!
im hoping for jinro & haypro to qualify next time too

you could say that there is an increasing skill gap between korean and nonkorean sc2 scenes. but its not because nonkorean players practiced less or played less well than last gsl. it is because many extremely good players missed gsl1, so the competition has increased for the korean participants of gsl1 just the same.

I really love the Korean nickname for TLO.
Nostradario fighting!

i somehow get the feeling you were there during the interview, can you tell us anything that was incorrect?

I definitely do hope that TLO was present during his own interview. lol
Yeah I'm curious to know too..
|
Look you really can't compare the number of Koreans and foreigners unless you take into account the number of each that entered the competition and the percentage of them that qualified for the ro64. Looking at it this way you see that the foreigners actually do it better as the Koreans.
So as an example:
500 koreans entered the prelim and 62 qualified = 12.4%
5 foreigners entered the prelim and 2 qualified = 40%
The only realistic way to determen if there is a skill gap between the two is by having the 100 top foreigners enter the prelims and the 100 top Koreans and see what the percentages are then.
And on top of that the prelims should be held in Kenya or something like that so both groups had to adjust equally to a new and strange culture.

GJ TLO, I'm excited to see you play! I'm sure you'll go farther this time around! :D

I don't wanna offend anyone but my take on the situation is this:
TLO and IdrA are 2 of the top non koreans (maybe number 1 maybe not...) and both performed very well in the first GSL neither being totally outplayed in any way.
Jinro/Haypro (perhaps artosis but I dunno how good he really is) are good players but to my knowledge they're hardly the top non koreans neither has performed very well in any tournaments lately though I'd love to see the liquid guys storm the GSL and take it all. Jinro and Haypro just don't seem like the best to me, good? sure but far from the best inside or outside of korea I can only hope they will rise.
So saying that 3 of the better players of the western scene failed to qualify is perhaps an overexaggeration while they are good none of them have been at the top in sc2 at any point to my knowledge.
I think the situation will be much more clear with future GSL's especially HuKs arrival seeing as he is definately one of the top non koreans but since players like Select/QxC/Dimaga are not entering the GSL it seems unfair to assume the western scene is falling behind already.

Select already announced he plans to come next month. However, I honestly wouldn't really call him a 'foreigner' per-se.

This interview was done in Korean-English-Korean, as none of the media people spoke english.

Nice interview TLO! GL with practicing for the RO 64!!!

It's funny how all of them wish they get boxer because they usually beat him on the ladder :D

Just to clarify what I actually said:
- There is a lower number(ratio) of foreign players advancing compared to last season, what are the thoughts of foreign players?
Dario: I do not believe that is because of increased skill-difference between Koreans and Foreigners. Many famous over-sea players did not participate, and players like myself and Greg Fields (Idra) are not with a pro-team. I believe there will be a better result in season 3 if pro-players playing in Europe participates.
-I don't think there now is a bigger skill gap between Koreans and foreigners, most people, except us Liquid guys and Greg who participated, are not really pro-gamers but many no-names, so its hard to judge how it would go if other Foreign big names would come to the GSL. (I think more would qualify)
- Any other words?
Dario; There will be more players participating (in tournaments) from Team Liquid.
I do wish you guys will continue to watch out for our team member's games.
-You will see a lot more of Team Liquid in the future, so stay tuned fore more!

Currently the US/EU pro scene is at least as active as the Korean's, and the number of players is more important too.
So though i do think the RTS heritage is stronger in Korea, which leads to more trained players, i really don't think the foreigner are out of the game yet.
Though I'm sad for Haypro and Jinro, they pretty much just got there and should improve, plus, they are very good, but not the best (but i hope they'll prove me wrong fast). On an other hand, Artosis spent a lot of time casting matchs, and i don't think he trained as hard, or had as a strong focus as the "pure" players.
So for GSL3, we can hope for more TL qualifications (especially Huk), and maybe some other new foreigner. But currently TL is the more GSL focused foreigner pro-team, and it should really pay in the future, let's just be patient and cheer for TLO (and IdrA too btw)
|
Well Thanks for this interview.
GOGO TLO!! GLGLGLGLGLGLGLGL!!
|
Man I wish Artosis was stil Vlogging from GSL.. It was awesome seeing everything and "semi" getting the feel of being there.
|
Congrats TLO, keep kicking asses!!!
|
congrats and good luck !
did nada make it through as well?
|
I think the main difference between Korea and NA/EU SC2 scene (other than coaching/pracitcing know-how) is the number of pro-players and the kind of support they get (funding for clans, bigger cash prize for tournaments).
NA/EU has to find a way to attract major corporations, make ESports a viable sponsor material.
If there is a way to do that (I'm sure it won't be a single-step process), it'll be possible to attract more pro-players, bigger competitive SC2 scene in NA/EU.

About the interview, Korean fangirls cheering for TLO would be so amusing!  *fingers crossed*

Congrats TLO! Looking forward to your games!

TLO has korean fans, he's just that awesome hahahaha
With the news that tester didn't qualify, I was pretty darn scared for the TL guys, so excellent work!

TLO is a star
Well he deserves it with all the things he can do with starcraft.
He is the only pro ive seen doing spectacular with all three races.

Yay, TLO ftw! I hope you will make it far!
Too bad that Jinro and Haypro failed, but tbh, seeing the results of the prelims so far, I have to see that it is a rough competition that allows no mistake. But yeah, there is always the next season so maybe the TLguys including HuK will have more luck.
|
TLO has korean fans?!?!?(i mean other than TL readers ofc)
thats just awesome ^_____^ he is grown so much that little guy <3

So Dario, how long until you start up the Korean TLO fan cafe?
Grats on advancing. ^^

Sincerly hoping the best for your success Dario, and Greg too! Speaking of which....Greg, I got your autograph (along with the rest of CJ) on an SC1 CD at last year's Blizzcon. It's up to you to turn that into a hot ticket!

I freakin' love TLO. He is brutally awesome. Very cool and chilled out. He has many respects and also calm, honest and nice. If I want to grow up, I will be like him as much as possible. But I think he not in the finals. I have see the future. There is place for two zergs. Fruitdealer and Idra.

No. If you look at the main GSL2 thread, there is a list of players who have qualified/notable players eliminated/notables who have yet to qualify. RainbOw (Hope Torture) is listed in the last category, so he will be playing tomorrow.

As for Jinro/Haypro/Artosis not qualifying, they aren't really in the top tier of foreigners to begin with so I don't think most people expected them to qualify anyways. They're good solid players, but they're not in the same league as Huk, qxc, MorroW, KiWiKaKi, SeleCT, Dimaga, etc.

|
oh man i lol'd hard at iNcontroL's analogy of artosis.
But on topic GOOOO TLOOOOOOO, nice to see Korean fans falling victim to your sexiness.

Wishing you all the best TLO! Your builds constantly amaze me. Show them what a foreigner can do!

Haha. TLO single-handedly bridging the foreigner/Korean gap in esports.
Seriously, though, it's great that TLO is doing so well, gathering a large fan-base. He certainly deserves it. Good luck in GSL2 :D

Go idra as well if he could just tone down the blanket bm to individual bm i would love him so much more.

i expect Jinro to pass on to top64 in GSL3 with Huk and TLO. Idra will go top 16 this time around and probably get an invite for the next league.

Love your prediction Nuke!!
NostraDario FIGHTING! (I love that nickname by the way ^^)
One of the World's Best SC2 Players - Dario Wunsch. You should know there are bunch of Korean Fans who stand beside you. Just go for the Final! Your fascinating and absorbing playing style and competitiveness as a top player of Euro Zone worth more than that! Pride be with you Always!
Hey I know your are Much with dye hair!
LOL at Much with yellow hair
LOL Much with dye hair...
All this excitement brings a tear to my eye. The BW scene was great, fantastic even. The sc2 international scene could be even more.
GoGo Dario!

sweet! Go TLO! You can win GSL Season 2! I believe =)
|
tlo tlo tlo is so awsesome !
|
|
|
im definitely going to buy a season pass just for TLO
|
"symbiotic" is one of my favorite words
TLO sounds like such a good guy... loyalty, cheering on his friends, promoting his team and team mates... I hope you achieve beyond your goals TLO!
|
I love you TLO! I tried emulating your sexiness but I can't because you're the only one who can do it!
|
Great job... good luck TLO!
|
good luck TLO
|
Nice going TLO! We're all rooting for you here!
|
I really hope that TLO's skill management has increased so he can perform to his true potential. The harass-micro based play seems to leave him in a huge timing hole where the other player can just macro an army and walk him over. [[i.e. last GSL and some recent events]]
|
TLO! Just make sure to check for cheesy builds and/or proxy and you'll do just fine! Hyperdub was a massive tool.

|

Yea please lets not hate on Hyperdub, he is an awesome guy and helps me a lot over here
|
- There is a lower number(ratio) of foreign players advancing compared to last season, what are the thoughts of foreign players?
Dario: I do not believe that is because of increased skill-difference between Koreans and Foreigners. Many famous over-sea players did not participate, and players like myself and Greg Fields (Idra) are not with a pro-team. I believe there will be a better result in season 3 if pro-players playing in Europe participates.
I agree with TLO, it's as someone that starts with an i and ends with a dra mentioned in another thread before. work for it, fine tune, practice, commitment. no one becomes pro over night.

Congrats TLO
I don't want him facing off BoxeR just yet though...a little bit down the road...also does anybody know when we can purchase the season 2 ticket for GomTV?
Because when I purchased mine, I wasn't able to get the premium "HQ" until they read my e-mail that I sent regarding my payment to them.

Class act. You are awesome TLO.
Between you, BoxeR, IdrA and hopefully NaDa (not to mention the excitement of discovering new heroes like Fruit Dealer), I am totally fine with the 20 bucks for the VODS. Good luck man!

Go TLO wow Dario you even got big fan base in Korea Cheers :D
