Who are your closest progaming friends and what are your favorite games to play other than StarCraft?

Idra, how does making roaches being a very useful talent toi have justify your abandonment of the Terran race?
the throws never bothered me anyway

How is the pro-team feeling about you playing SC2 now? Are they envious? Do they dislike you now? Do other pros ask you about SC2? Are they interested as well?
We were all raised on televion that made us believe we'd all be Millionairs, Movie gods, and Rockstars..... But we won't.... We are slowly learning that fact. And we are very, very pissed off.

Did the disrespect or the lack of respect of Korean progamers and fans toward foreign progamers, in any way, influence your mannerisms to this day? Share your opinion of how Koreans view you as a foreign progamer.

I would like to know if Idra plans on staying in Korea for rest of his life, and if not how long does he think he will stay?

I would also like to hear him speak some Korean, since i remember you saying he was learning it.

IdrA, when being in interviewed do you often use the phrase "Me and Artosis"?

J/k

Since you moved to Korea do you feel you've met or exceeded your expectations of what you've wanted to achieve there?

If you could change one unit, which would you choose and how would you change it?

i.e. buff Archon, change Ultralisk, add/remove unit?

I would first just like to thank both Artosis and IdrA for giving the TL community this chance to get some solid info. But yeah, questions...

1. 4 gate opening is pretty difficult to stop for most zerg players. What do you recommend on maps where spine crawlers are less effective, such as Blistering Sands or Desert Oasis?

2. Do you feel 1 base plays as Zerg have a solid place in this game? Or do you think majority of Zerg players will always opt to FE in some shape or form.

3. What's the average salary of a pro in Korea?

4. Do you need a strong grasp of the language to survive in Korea?

5. If a player approached you asking what race they should play, would you actually advise them to play Zerg given the current state of the game? Why or why not?

6. Do you have any general advise for players looking to get noticed and potentially break into the pro Sc2 scene?

Thanks again for your time you two!

Artosis, this is a cool thing you are doing, thank you!

Haters, find something constructive to do with yourself besides writing nasty comments on message boards all day. Devise a new build, make a new map or go outside and play.

IdrA, as a low level player I really enjoy experimenting with the Nydus Worm, it's fun! Have practiced a lot with it? Do you see it ever becoming a part of any strategies you might run in tournaments?

And represent USA!

Do you think the fact that you never cheese makes you predictable?

Surely if you cheesed every now and then it would catch your opponents really off guard?
