In a lengthy bonus video interview held back from Assembly Winter 2011 Team Liquid's  Ret discusses his trips to South Korea. First to try his hand at becoming a BW pro and then for his GSL adventure in SC2.

Brood War section topics:
-What were Ret's expectations heading to South Korea after NonY and IdrA? Did he dream he could become the first of the modern day foreigners to get into televised Proleague games? Are all the players who qualify for OSL/MSL better than foreigners? Did Ret see his appearance on 'Hyungjoon becomes a progamer'? Would it have been out of the question to have picked up any Korean before going? Was it naive not to have practiced ZvZ much prior to his trip? Would winning that last Courage have kept him in Korea?
StarCraft II section topics:
-Despite his high reputation amongst the foreigners his performances in GSL so far have been short, what is his assessment? What does he know about his next Code A opponent? How significant is BW experience in SC2 compared to WC3? Were  MC and  MVP simply players who didn't get the chance to shine in BW? Would Flash and Jaedong dominate if they switched over? Does Ret get frustrated seeing peers like IdrA and Jinro in the penthouse of GSL, Code S, while he's stuck down in the basement of Code A? What will the impact of the foreigner house be on future GSLs?
The interview can be viewed at SK Gaming. Also, if you haven't already, check out the older interview with Ret after he won assembly.

|
Ret is so calm and pleasant to listen to. Too bad he has such a hard bracket in Code A.
|
I LOVE RET. He is my hero!
Dutch warrior.
|
Yay Ret!! You can do it! (go to code S)
|
Really good interview, thanks.
|
Thank you for the awesome interview. Love listening to Ret's prespective.
|
ooh ret interview! must listen
|
Good questions in the interview.
Gogo Ret!
|
I looove Ret, so thank you for showing this interview!
|
Every time I see a picture of ret I'm reminded at how much weight he lost, god damn good for him. I wish I had the conviction to put off some pounds like that.
|
Great interview, thanks SK!
|
Go go ret! You have many fans, so make us proud!
|
Surprises me to hear Ret of all people say that Flash is so good because of his multitasking. That is not the reason at all why he's the most dominant player of all time (well, it's a factor, but not the biggest one).
|
Ret is such a great guy (and player). I hope he will make it in SC2.
|
I knew Ret started to play sc2 bit late, didnt realize that he started playing in september. 3 month of practice=>qualify for GSL, wow.
|
You left out Draco, Assem, Leggionaire, Rekrul, ElkY, Grrrr... aw :b
Great questions though. Yeah, ret has the raw talent to succeed godemperor. That is why he was an obvious choice for TLAF.
|
wow for some reason his soft-spoken tone made me think he was a young and skinny kid, not such a big manly looking man. huh..
|
this was a very informative interview, Thorin does a good job!
Actually SK-gaming site has great SC2 content this days, thumbs up!
