you've been in Korea for 2 years now (grats about that!). I want to know if you've started to feel better with the language or if you've even tried to learn it at all. Do you have a english speaking coach? What tools do you have to communicate and get the most out of these people? Thanks! | ||

If CJ switches to SC2 do you think you may be expected to help coach some? I would think that you would have much more knowledge then anyone else in the house. Do you think infestor/zerglings is a viable strategy or has its success just been because people are unprepared for it? In Huks recent interview with TheElitists he was pretty annoyed about the comments you made in the Nerds of the Round Table video. Apparently he didn't appreciate that you had practiced often together and that you just thought he was winning with only cheesy tactics. Anything to say about this? | ||

-Hardest individual opponents thus far in both SC:BW and SC2 by name? (if possible) -Thoughts on the Blizzard/Korean progamer SC2 balance talks? (If he's heard about it, hopefully...) -Thoughts on the Korean style of training? Is it better to just grind the game for hours and hours a day, once you get past a certain level where your mechanics are pretty solid, or is there a sort of missing focus on creativity in this system? | ||

Are foreigners welcome in the Korean pro-gaming circuit, or are opportunities quite rare? Do you think the current pro-gaming model is sustainable? Do you think pro-gaming in Korea might see a seachange like football (soccer) did ala the Bosman ruling (basically where the rights of free agents were altered completely and the power was transferred from clubs to players) ? | ||

Now for my question(s) to IdrA: I was wondering if you could highlight the main factor, or the set of factors which separate a skilled video game player in general, and a professional video game player - focusing on what such a player can do to break into the professional level? What is the biggest difficulty, in your mind, from transitioning from what type of play style is common amongst most non-Korean players towards the Korean play style? What have you done to overcome this? Whether these get answered or not thanks in advance for the feedback you give to whichever questions Artosis deems worthy. | ||

![]() 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! ![]() | ||

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! | ||

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? | ||

ditto. still lol'ing 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? | ||

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? 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. | ||

What is it like living in Korea? What are the people like? How expensive is it to live there? What types of things do you do? What is your favourite Korean food so far? Any recommendations? Do you prefer to the west? Any answers to those questions would be much appreciated ![]() | ||

#1- Many people look up to you and admire your game play. Then there is the group of people who think you could be the Antichrist of e-Sports. Do you recognize and acknowledge this stigma that has been placed upon you and will you change in order to represent the community and bring a bigger role of e-Sports to America? #2- How do you forsee your team CJ and the other Korean teams transitioning to Starcraft 2? Will Flash, Effort, Jaedong continue to earn the accolades they have gained from Brood War or will we see a new group of players rise during this early period of the game? #3- Apart from a possible representation of the USA at WCG, what do you think you can do more to represent America and e-Sports in America? Thanks for your time. | ||

(Pure speculation) What do you think that blizz can do to improve upon the ZvZ match up? Is it going to be a completely repetitive match up like it was in bw? For those of us who were around during the time that replays were first introduced, with players like NTT/Maynard etc bashing replays saying that they ruined the game, do you think that the build order mapping will help or hinder the games ingenuity? By that I mean do you think that it will help the game evolve and become more efficient quicker, or do you think that with all the mapping that it will stone wall all innovation and hamper any sort of progress beyond the second expansion? (a loose time marker) Granted that Protoss was the easiest race to learn in brood war, yet turned out to be weaker against higher tier z/t players, are protoss going to follow suit in SC2? Or are the races dumbed down enough to be fairly similar in common playability so far? And do you feel that another race will emerge as the EZPZ BW Protoss in SC2? This is a question about Apollo: Given that he is a baller rts gamer already (albeit not in the man's game of SC [yet]) do you think that he has what it takes to become one of the top SC2 players in the world? We've seen over the years in BW/War3 that the great players in the early years of the game fail to continue their dominance and fall by the wayside, who out of the current beta gamers do you think have the determination and longevity to become and remain as a top SC2 gamer? TyTy Artosis you're not boring!!! | ||

What do you consider to be your greatest and worst starcraft moments (BW or SC2)? I suspect probably not from what I've seen of Artosis' videos already, but do you have time for hobbies? What else do you enjoy doing besides SC? | ||

Who is your practice partner and why? What player gives you the closest games? What changes do you feel need to be made by blizzard overall? What part of SCII are you looking forward to the most at the time of release? edit: Voyager, thats just plain rude and mean. | ||

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?

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? | ||
