I enjoyed that interview. The talk about balance was great, but I was actually more interested in his answers about how it is like to live in Korea.

It seems like it would be such a culture shock.

Good read and I mostly agree.

I am curious, does anybody have some more recent rankings of players in asia? I am mostly curious about that one protoss that switched to terran after he claimed that T's were strong in the right hands and that he would prove it (cant remember who it was though)

if terrans are everything he's saying why doesn't he choose them and try to win a tournament with them. ZvT and ZvP protoss is fine, he's crying because he can't spam one of the cheapest tanks in the game that deals ridiculous damage and is ranged so much anymore..

before the changes to roaches Z was all about roaches + hydras all in, with 1 or 2 infestors.. at least now players are using speedlings and blings, even corruptors - which by the way own colossi...

what most of people don't seem to understand is the fact that even if corruptor "own colossus" if the other player have 3-4 of them, the protoss will completely rape your army by the time your corruptors killed his colossus. At the end youre so happy to havve killed his 3-4 colossus but all your army is allready gone and he still has all his army.

I think he was spot on about balance changes and Zerg changes. I've always felt that Blizzard is balancing the game to make one race overpowered early game while the other gets overpowered late game. Thats one of the main purposes of the Brood Lord, basically its because Blizzard knows Zerg sucks early and mid game so they gave them Brood Lords for late game.

That sucks because it means that the outcome is determined by the map.

Excellent answers by IdrA, and also great questions that were asked. I really enjoyed reading this, hopefully there will be more interviews like this and by other players too!
