I'm curious as to why someone who's crazy about esports would leave the esports scene in the past. He mentions he doesn't want to bring the reasoning up. Smells fishy.

I was lonely when I was alone

nice logic

Q. You're close with HopeTorture even though you guys haven't been in the same team before.

A. I've been close with Nal_Ra, FruitDealer and HopeTorture for a long time. We used to go out for drinks and we've been keeping in touch. This relationship has helped me starting a team together with HopeTorture.


Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?

Nal_Ra is joining STARTALE when he gets out of the militarily

ohhh, I can NOT wait :D

Thanks for the interview and translation. He sounds like a cool guy and I like how he doesn't believe in forced practice.

Probably got let go, or was pressured to leave, usually that's not something you want to talk about all that much. Anyone know how FOX was doing in the league around the time of his departure?

Anyways. Really liked the interview seems like a pretty progressive and optimistic coach. Makes me more excited to see Startale do well.

Mostly likely lost in translation a bit there.

Edit:
There were many reasons, but I don't want to mention them again


That makes me think there was already an interview about it. So I'm really not smelling that fish.

Disagreement with management maybe? What makes it sound fishy?

Q. What do you want STARTALE to become?
A. I personally hate forced practice like a pig on its way to the slaughter house. There should be some room for freedom and I dream of a practice environment where a player can express uniqueness. I feel that players perform better with a better practice environment. Forced practice is nothing better than keyboard typing practice, and I'd rather have players play 10 games meaningfully than play 100 games forcefully.

Q. How do you picture yourself as a coach?
A. I don't have too big of an ambition. I want to lead a team in my own way. I just want to be a genuine, humane coach.


This guy's a baller, hopefully they'll find a sponsor soon though, must've been tough running a team all by yourself...

awesome interviews, thanks for translating.

I definitely do hope a better, alternative way to train proves to be successful. Current pro gamer training routines do seem like hell. Especially when you consider that the majority of players are still very young.

No, not physically addictive, but e-sports/Starcraft isn't either. I'm still addicted to both. for not having weed, but at least I don't have any withdrawal.
