Thank you for the translation!

I hope FruitDealer can deal his fruit for at least 3 more years before he got called to military service. And I want a rematch between FD v Boxer. In the GSL final, preferrably ^^

It seems like in every interview i read of fruitdealer, he hasn't received his prize money yet.

Well, you'll know when he will receive it, he will be wearing some serious bling bling, 1 golden and 1 diamond chains on his neck, 2 golden watches, a big pimp hat, 2 golden teeth and, of course, will have Idra and Artosis as his biatches dressed in pink. You can't miss it.

WOW INSANE interview I'm impressed thank you very much OP

So many things to talk about, my brain is going to explode.

I'll just quote Fruit
In defending, Zergs rarely do anything unusual. I've thought about it a lot, but anything nonstandard is simply too difficult to carry out.

Q: In SC2, you're also performing very well, what's the biggest advantage BW gamers get from transitioning to SC2?
Boxer: In War3, the workers can stop, but in BW, the workers pertty much don't stop, so the advantage is great.

I feel like I'm missing something here. What does he mean the workers can stop? Anyone?

Q: Fruitdealer, people have said you don't have a lot of passion and that your games are always with one method and the same opening.
Fruitdealer: It's hard to have passion while playing Zerg, actually. In defending, Zergs rarely do anything unusual. I've thought about it a lot, but anything nonstandard is simply too difficult to carry out. The talk about my out-of-game passion is probably because of my personality issues. If I do any ceremonies but end up losing, I'll be really ashamed of myself. Since I know there needs to be some passion, once I improve some more I'll consider adding ceremonies. But if I turn the tables in a losing situation, I'll definitely release all my passion.

????
Can't he just do his ceremonies after winning like everyone else?

1. I'll need confirmation on this, but in WC3 you have to worry about upkeep, so sometimes players will intentionally stop gathering. That might be what he means.
2. IDK, I'm not fruitdealer so I can't offer insight on that.

EDIT: also, at above, it doesn't say macro (which is a different term), it literally says the gatherers will stop.

I think he meant that in WC3 you stopped making workers (relatively early), but in SCBW and SC2 you dont really stop making workers until you have anywhere from 70-90.

Alright, I'll trust you on this, since I never played WC3 myself

Thanks for the interview!

I'm glad Boxer mentioned how difficult it is for the players to have Blizz release huge balance patches right before a big event (such as the GSL ro64). I think he's just asking for patches to either be released/announced earlier so there's time to playtest, or if the patches weren't so game-changing.
