The questions, I ignored and only summarized, since I'm sure you want to know EXACTLY what BoxeR was saying as opposed to Artosis' questions (no offence, bro). I also respect the GomTV translator dude, 정말 열심히 하십니다... but his translations tend to be compressed/summaries of the players' answers... which I totally understand since his English isn't native and he's under a lot of pressure, what with it being live to god knows how many thousands across the world. Also, I'm in the screen cap at post #1... I so happy :3 ![[image loading]](http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/9388/boxerinterview.png) | ||

I think it is generally accepted that the brackets are made by GomTV in order to favor famous players. Even here on team liquid we have seen numerous calls for rigging the qualification brackets in favor of the fan favorites. In my opinion that is kind of sad. I believe that e-sport can only be accepted as a real sport when there are fair and public draws like in other sports. But this is only a minor problem in comparison to the danger of match fixing. The few hundred Dollars players get in the first stages of the tourney compared to the huge market value of a star like Boxxer makes match fixing look extremely tempting. | ||

It's a very large community website akin to Japan's 2ch. There is a SC and SC 2 forums. If something big happens, they tend to go and mass spam different sections of the forums in DCInside. | ||

BoxeR and NaDa would not potentially meet in the Ro8 if the brackets were not random. They'd meet in semi-finals or possibly even the finals. Ideally it would be BoxeR, NaDa and Fruitdealer all possible in semis. But with the potential Ro8 clash, forget about it. | ||

But seriously. GomTV needs to prepare for this. The further boxer goes the worse it will be. | ||

During Boxer's game, that number broke through 770,000, unprecedented in GomTV's history, according to the GomTV guy in charge. It's no wonder their servers crashed. Nobody would have expected this, especially not during the Korean Series Baseball. | ||

I was there for that discussion in the IRC and I'm pretty sure we came to the conclusion that Basketball is the Esports of Michael Jordan, unless Michael Jordan is Boxer, in which case StarCraft is basketball. Only the slammest of dunks could take out an internet this big. | ||
