Uh, what? ;-;
The map is pretty much a hellhole of aggression. Either you rush for that middle expansion, or you're out. Or you just go for a 2 base all in. Or I've been playing the map wrong.
But that's a damper. One or two more years of WhiteRa?

Jungle Basin a macro map, haha.
Hope to see him in Korea though, that would be sick.
|
Only 1 or 2 years more for the Ra?? No way 
Oh, and even the Ra thinks Zerg is UP <3

I always felt that it was a good choice for white-ra to stay in europe/ukraine for bw to boost everything there and help the community grow and I think that with SC2 it is not necessary to go over there. GSL may be one big tournament but right now there is so much going on in europe and there is plenty of money to be made, plenty of fans to have and entertain :D
Props White-Ra, you are the man. 
But 1-2 years of active gaming sounds good to me. You know how old he is ? And its not like he will get lost for the e-sports community. I am sure he will stay a while and listen.

This man is my currently active player... When hes gone i will weep.

I really hope White-Ra hits it big in 1 or 2 years so he can continue playing. Would be a shame to see such a good player leave. Hopefully we can see him compete in Korea before that !
|
White-Ra going to Korea would be so awesome. I definitely hope it happens, he's good enough to smash all those nerds over there. 
|
If White-Ra follows TL, and he sees this post...
Do you like Cabbage Rolls and Perogies? I have Ukrainian heratige too and those are supposedly Ukrainain foods.

Anyways, much thanks for the interview. It's nice to hear from one of my favourite players in the world.

Congrats to the interviewer for actually managing to transcribe the entirety of a white-ra interview! Having spoken to the man himself, I know that's no small feat.
I am a huge white-ra fan, great guy, super nice, and I was worried like a lot of other people when he sort of faded away for a bit, only to be delighted by his recent results. Wishing him good look in the remainder of IEM, and I do hope he can/wants to go to Korea at some point to show off his skills.

Great interview, WhiteRa has looked in incredible form lately and him going to Korea would be really interesting. Some interesting opinions on the current standard of play present in the GSL too.
Perhaps with the JB macro map thing he just meant that you have an easy nat? *shrug*
|
I would love to see WhiteRa go to Korea the only thing that concerns me is like he said Europeans and Americans don't all in nearly as much, i'm worried that alot of the foreigners that do go ever won't be ready or well practiced for that.
|
What a great interview! Everything he has to say about the game is smart and extremely unbiased, which is so cool and respectable. His positive outlook on being a player, being married and playing, and moving to Korea, is inspiring and exciting.
|
OK first of all it wouldn't surprise me all that much if whitera used a russian client, meaning that map names might be confused.
There's been some pretty epic games in jungle basin in like TvT and PvT so I do believe that it can be a macro map, however Zerg's gonna be behind, as they need more expansions than their opponent, whereas P and T are pretty equal on the same amount of bases.
|
WhiteRa... What a class act. It must be stressfull playing every game thinking. Man i need to win so i can feed my family.
|
This guy was the first pro-gamer I heard of, in the HDH
Cool guy
|
After seeing white-ra stomp zergs left and right with his void ray + colossus, I can see why he'd think they need to be stronger haha.
It seems like a big investment to go to Korea. You need at least a month to make it through code A(and it's only worth going if you can get into code S), and It's always a gamble if he'll be able to make it through and get far enough into Code S to make the trip worth his time. He'd have to make it to the semi-finals of Code S alone for $4.4k, and that's 2 months of damn good results.
