Some might not think he is the best out of 3 champions but for me his attacks were executed like no other.

wow, super long interview thanks for translating!

i don't think he's an alcaholic. i've heard that koreans like to drink and not only a few glasses of soju.
whats up with the army? first he gets released because of some injury or illness and now he has to join the army again with almost 30 years?

Awesome interview and awesome translation as well. Thank you CanucksJC for doing this.
Out of 3 GSL champion FD impress me the most. He seems to be very humble, has respect to other and know where he is standing.

Definitely my favourite Zerg. The whole personality and backstory, and playstyle, and everything. It's a whole package.

He may not be the top zerg anymore, but he definitely was the most inspirational. FD is still gonna be my favorite sc2 progamer for a long time.

Wow, FruitDealer is such a carefree guy.


GSL is an abbreviation for 'Global StarCraft 2 League'. Anyone can view the games after installing the GomPlayer. For that reason, many fans are watching GSL despite the fact that they have to pay to do so. The popularity of the first season, TG Sambo - Intel StarCraft 2 Open Season 1, was outstanding. The champion TSL_FruitDealer enjoyed the fame of a world star during Blizzcon 2010, people supported him, even translating his Korean ID to 'FruitDealer'. He played show matches against SlayerS_BoxeR, and the match caused hot reactions as a showdown between SCBW and SC2's top stars.


I was under the assumption that GSL was free to watch for koreans? Or is the article referencing the foreign fans?

Thanks for the long ass translation OP.

Wow, he sounds like quite a drinker. Drinking and posting angry comments and then passing out after losing games? I did not expect that coming from a guy like him, he seems so carefree and happy. Hopefully he will cut down on that though, especially if it's cutting into his playing ability as he says.

It doesn't really matter if he does extremely good (wins again) or just good, he will always be the most inspirational and well-known GSL champion in my opinion, achieving so much in such dark times for Zerg.

He may not be the most handsome

:OOO who cares
i like sc2 more than wc3 because of its mind games , in wc3 the only mind game you could do is go for a different hero than normal to make your opponent thing you are retarded

Really cool interview, thank you very much for this.

Fruitdealer is a great guy but its unfortunate he was caught into the success and it led to drinking. It`s understandable though, happens to a lot of people.

I really wish him the best.

Damn, I wish I could teach him snowboard!
Try another route paperboy.

Very nice interview
"I'm trying to snowboard as much as I can this winter and I'm willing to teach everything I know about SC2 to the person that teaches me snowboarding. I will make them an amazing gosu."


DARN. What a deal! XD
