Questions:

Most embarrassing moment in Korea?

Does starcraft 2 have the potential of starcraft 1 in terms of depth and the skill ceiling, do you think that the game right now is at a point, depth wise, similar to that of starcraft 1 before broodwar came out and many of the micro tricks were discovered?

Do you feel that the game is in need of major changes still, such as to the reaper (no viability beyond 2 minutes), mothership is stupid, and marines and zerglings are useless in late game against protoss because of colossus?

How much excitement is there for starcraft 2 among the other progamers you know? Do you ever talk about it with them? Does the coach have anyone practice with you before major tournaments?

Question:
Does the fact that cheese, early gimmick play, and bm playstyles effectively ruin the popular analogy and comparison to the game of Chess?

There is no chess equivalent of ,say, 7 pooling; in the sense that it requires that you had scouted the correct base unusually early and essentially replied with the same uncreative process or it's gg.

Do you find the randomness in spawn locations and scouting choices to be a 'random' factor that can lead to losses regardless of player skill?

What sound options do you use while playing SC/SC2? i.e. music, in game music, or just silence other than game sounds.
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Since sc2 tries to offer a more user-friendly interface than bw, does IdrA think it would be a good idea to implement a popup "Do you really want to cancel that, IdrA?" when cancelling CCs in sc2?

There are many traps that can lead to early checkmates if you respond with the commonsense, autopilot response. Most of those are really well-known though and no one falls for them, but that's kind of the deal with 4pool as well.

How would one go about becoming a professional starcraft II player in Korea?
I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. Oh yeah, and play StarCraft.

Do you think Koreans will once again rise above the rest in Starcraft 2, or are the best professional leagues going to contain people from all countries since the skill cap is less and easier for those who don't play as much as the Koreans?

How does he think the physical mechanics aspect of SC2 affect the players, in terms of level of exhaustion during practice, total stamina during long sets and 30+minute games, and career burnout rates, compared to SCBW?

How has the issue with Savior changed the outlook of the CJ team as a whole?

Are there other CJ members currently switching over to SC2?

Idra:

Was there any certain moment (practice games / time periods) at which the progamers really started to take notice of your skill and abilities to compete with them as a foreigner at their level of play and how did it make you feel? Also who are your practice partner favorites?

Thanks
