I do hope you based that feel on his interviews where he says stuff such as:

Do you think you are a talented player?
Seed: By feel, it seems so, but as a gamer I have to put in twice the effort to even reach everyone else's halfway mark.

and not on an interview that was completely fabricated.

'Cept he wins GSL and cleans up TAC vs. Liquid. (¬_¬) If he is arrogant, it's a shame, but shoot, he can walk his talk. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

GOM: They call it the Liquid Advantage.
wtf
dont understand how two cases are treated different

Hahaha, that was such a baller response from Chae

It's all about the management though now isn't it? Good managers will get you these sort of perks - Afaik, Liquid threatened to not participate if HerO had to play today, due to schedueling.

At least that was the vibe I got from Bumblebees posts in HerO's thread

Edit: Stupid me... That wasn't an actual interview *_*

I think Seed still could take it, but if Gumiho is still in his GSTL mindset, he'll take him down.
I want Squirtle and Genius to both move on

"Showed him the true power of a GSL champion" ... Yes yes indeed, Taeja went 7-1 beating Seed and ending 1-1 vs seed and 1-0 vs Nestea ^^ Taeja needs no lessons in "true power" he just needs sttamina to play more than 7 games relatively in a row and smash GSL champions.

Even if the interview was fake, it's pretty consistent with the body language he portrayed after his victory over HerO.

He does comes off as an arrogant prick. Lets see if his skills are here to stay or just another one hit wonder.

So if you show some pride after winning the deciding game in the grand finals of a big tournament you're considered arrogant? OK...

Seriously he's beat some of the best players from every race in the last 6 months. He went through possibly the toughest lineup yet at GSL to get to MC. And when he did beat him all he did was close his eyes and have a moment of silence. I think he deserves to be a little arrogant at this point.

when i first started ready the interview i thought the same as those that said he seeemed arrogant, abrasive, and so forth and was think why did they even post this interview. but when i got to the part about him having to play the same day he got back and his fit he threw i was like oh this is actually a fake joke interview isn't it? and suddenly everything started to make sense.

Lol I met the guy in SF, and Seed is the furthest you can get from being an "arrogant prick". Even in his interviews, he regularly states how much he respects his opponents' skills and downplays himself, saying that he doesn't have high expectations for himself. In regards to his motivations, he said that he just enjoys playing the game and that it's so much fun. After I took my picture with him, he initiated a handshake with me and told me "Thank you very much". Arrogant prick? Hah. How about a nice, down to earth dude who enjoys entertaining his fans with ceremonies.

We didn't threaten to not play HerO in that sense. What I wrote to Mr. Chae was that HerO has to attend IPLTAC finals and MLG Raleigh due to his pool play position and asked if the scheduling could work. If it couldn't work, we would not like to play HerO in the first couple of rounds so that he'd eliminate some people and then forfeit. We don't like to do things that way around if we know before the tournament it isn't possible. But Mr. Chae said that he could make it possible for HerO to make it top10 before he had to leave for MLG and also play his games outside of his time in the US for IPLTAC.
