What's your biggest concerns about SC2 as competitive game? And what features from SC_BW would u like to see in SC2 (worse pathing, no automine just things that make the game more challenging and more rewarding for the pros).

I'd really like to know how idra actually started the whole chain of events that has led to him being where he is today. For example did a team contact him or did he have to look into it himself and make first contact?

Thank you for doing this, Artosis!

Questions for IdrA: What do you think will happen first: foreigners raising numbers and influence/dominance within the Korean leagues, or the formation of other serious national leagues, and perhaps a real international scene? Do you think e-sports could reach status similar to chess/bridge and become recognized by the Olympic committee someday? Your future in this context: do you see yourself as a coach, for example?

(please, feel free to edit out whatever portions suit the direction of the interview)

1. Can you share with us your video/game-play/sound settings from the sc2 menu.

2. You use Alt or HP bar always on?

3. Could you share with us some of the disciplines/routines that a professional team has incited in you.

4. Name 5 basic/fundamental things to success in starcraft/starcraft2 you have learned through your experience from competing at the very highest of levels.

5. We know that professional players in Korea train for long sessions but is that training mostly playing 1v1, or is there some other aspects to pro training (ie working with players/coachs to come up strategy, working on specific build-order, playing ums maps, etc)

Did you feel any remorse for making (T)ToSsGirL cry, you heartless bastard?!

+ Show Spoiler +
Any moment in your progaming career that you enjoyed and that you regretted or wanna take back?
- I enjoyed beating male progamers at prelims. ^^ A regretful moment was when I lost to non-Korean players at ESWC. I felt good after beating Chinese players, but after losing to (T)(T)IdrA, I cried a lot (though I don't usually cry; maybe the national pride got me.). It felt horrible.


The reason she cried is because idra isnt korean. I wouldnt feel bad at all if I was him.

when you tell korean girls you're a professional starcraft player do they get all flustered?

Are the rumours true that you once GG'd in a game?

i was wondering about the economy or budget side of progamming.

how does one get paid? does the team pay you or do you get your money strictly from winning tourneys? sponsors?
how much is the cost of living?
-housing
-food
-clothing
do you live with the team or team mates?
how do you get around? (bike, walk, bus?)
do you have to buy your own computer, keyboard, or mice?
do you have to buy your own copy of sc2 or does the team pay for those things?

my question:

iam drived and motivated to improve in brood war, my skill is currently C- and i been practicing

" no joke" 15 games a day, just practicing my build orders and trying to use better timing

well i have improved from D+ to C- doing this but i would like to know your opinion if i'm going forwards this the right way, like if you were in my position, how would you train? how many games
would you play?

do you have a notebook dedicated to your replays and write your mistakes down?

btw i'm a zerg player and my apm is around 180-200; aspiring to reach B-

thank you in advance.

I suppose you could answer this question as well Artosis, but how does nationality work in S korea, you're not allowed dual citizenship so are you considered a national? Or do you become a korean citizen? Does that make you forced to do the 2 year manditory military?
