Why didn't Garimto have to pick the next interviewee at the end? I thought ygosu always did that.

I'm curious, how prevalent is bio+ghost TvP in the Korean beta right now? It seems very silly for him to wish for Hellion/Tank to be like Vulture/Tank was in SC TvP, especially when he mentions that people are too deep in the shadow of SC and using only a few types of units together.

Hellion/Tank is surprisingly popular on asia from the reps that I've seen. Dno why that is though, Immortals seem to rape that combination something terrible.

if you mix in emp its quite strong on maps that suit it. it takes collosus off the table without having to invest in a bunch of vikings and gives you a far less fragile army than bio tvp. hellions are also quite good for econ raids atm, since people dont expect it yet.

Sweet interview. Someday I hope to see Garimoto and Boxxer as coaches with their own teams squaring off against each other. Random wishful thinking I know, but still....mmm goodness!

I do think he's right in that those invested into SC1 will have a tough time becoming pros at SC2. Also I totally forgot about KeSPA vs the broadcast corps until this interview - that's a rift Blizzard might be able to exploit. Blizzard needs the broadcasters more than the team structure.

Slightly off-topic, but did Garimto ever go to the army? I don't recall him ever doing so - how did he avoid it?

I also never understood why warpgates have just a generic cooldown... Every time you use it, it should have a cooldown corresponding with the unit it just made.

Anyway, good interview!

In the light of all the "there is no micro" complaints, I found this fascinating. Is he (having been out of the "scene" for so long) just lacking in speed compared to the folks posting/complaining via interviews, is the asian scene simply better at spellcasting, or what?

when people talk about the lack of micro they arent talking about spellcasters, but the auto micro features like surround and worker targetting, the lack of high ground advantage and the lessened value of chokes and ramps cuz of pathing and collision sizes. the latency also makes basic unit control less clean and effective.

Probably one of the best ygosu interviews I've read -- great translation as always. Garimto is a smart guy and I hope he sticks around the eSports community. His wisdom exceeds most.

I think I found a typo in one of the questions, YGosu replies to his own question when I think its supposed to be Garimto?

YGosu: On the other hand, it seems like a lot of protoss players are struggling with PvZ.
YGosu: Eh, it seemed really hard for any Zerg to stop a 3 gate 1 robotics rush. It’s hard for me to stop it as Zerg as well. It’s still so hard to stop even after the gateway nerf. There need to be some Zergs that can stop that build for Protoss to start doing something else for a change. Still, I think the matchup is alright. Whoever thinks more, faster has the advantage.

One thing that I noticed from a replay I watched this morning, is that Hellions can burn through an immortal's shield very quickly. Once the Immortal has no shield, the tank can finish them in two or three hits. So as long as your tanks are protected by enough hellions, Immortals shouldn't be a problem.
However, Hellions take a very long time to kill the health part of the immortal.
This road isn't leading anywhere...
