'There is no such thing as natural talent.' Loved the entire interview, but i think that line is pretty bs. Of course some people are more naturally talented than others in certain fields, including Starcraft. Whilst a lot of practice will overcome this difference, i'm positive if i sat down and play as much Starcraft in my life as flash has, against the same people, in the same scenario, he would 100% destroy me. There are a ton of kids out there playing the game as much as flash/bisu/jaedong/stork, some probably even more so, who are still B-teamers who cant rise in the ranks because they're simply not as talented and dont have the 'gift' to play at the level these top players do. | ||

I'm not sure you'll read this but: How hard was it to get into your masters program after doing an undergrad in math? | ||

I actually agree with his statement. I'm a noob so my opinion might not have that much value, but I feel like people that seem to be naturally good at stuff like bw are just super dedicated. It's a mind thing, they hate losing so much that they just try to explore every area to improve in the game - mechanics, mind game, build orders etc. If you train as much as Flash did, you will not be as good as him because of a huge number of factors, most importantly environment (imo it's a lot more easy to become a pro when you're korean because you're always around people that love the game - I for one don't know anyone IRL), but also your motivation/dedication is probably nothing compared to flash's. I loooved the interview. I've always been a fan of Day and whatever I read from him was oh so amazing. He just seems to be a super nice person, just like his brother. Keep going and never leave TL plz | ||
