Was there an interview with Julyzerg? I would like to hear the opinion of an SC1 legend who transitioned to SC2 quite early.

That wasn't mentioned in the interview, unless I missed that. But I can tell you that your summary is not true. We are viewing this currently as a F2P/Microtransaction game.

Some interesting points:
- Blizzard DotA ( it won't rely on microtransactions but rather on acting as an incentive for buying SC2)

Oh, I never heard about that. Where was that said? :O

Nice interviews, although I thought some of those questions could have been better formulated. Also, some of the things asked should have been followed up on more deeply, such as Broodwar's success in PC bangs because it is more easily to play without the need to have a bnet account for the region you're in (which may be hard to come by).

Would also have liked interviews with the SC1 players how they feel about the imminent switch and playing in the GOM leagues. Or you could have grilled KeSPA on progamer licenses in light of the switch in regards to GOM league players. Oh well. Good work nonetheless.

Acted as a governing entity. Administrated everything, from studio staff to refereeing. Their most controversial decisions were referee-related, such as 1.) giving a loss to a player who typed something other than "gg", 2.) giving a loss to a player who typed "ppp" instead of "pp", 3.) making a controversial decision during game 3 of a 2009 MSL finals between Flash and Jaedong which resulted in Flash getting a loss and tilting later on, 4.) disallowing KesPA players from participating in other leagues (GOM in particular - and its league, the original GSL - was hard hit and eventually stopped broadcasting Broodwar).

Couple of other decisions alienated fans or made them angry, going so far as calling KesPA "DogSPA". The organization did retain a bit of its credibility during the Blizzard Lawsuit fiasco though. I think.
"I don't like the word prodigy at all. To me prodigy sounds like a person who was 'gifted' all these things rather than a person who earned all these talents by hard training... I must train harder to reach my goal." - Flash
