a lot of people suggest various questions for me to ask IdrA, and I figured since I don't have anything else to do today, I'd go ahead and make a completely community-driven interview of the guy. Is there something you are dying to know about StarCraft? About life on a progaming team? Life in Korea? How it feels to cancel a command center? Ask away. I'll try to have him answer as many as humanly possible.

How hard is it for a progamer who speaks english to make a splash in a korean-speaking country. How much does the language barrier interfere with your progaming/life.

Do you think the infestor is an adequate subsititute for the defiler? Why did you quit Terran and switch to zerg when Terran is just as APM intensive as Zerg?

What do you think about the lack of AoE spells in SC2?

Hi Idra,
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!

1- what bw/sc2 pro would you really like to hit in the face, for real (right now and strong)

2- if you had in your hand tasteless and artosis's fate, and only could save 1, who would you save and who would die? why?

Will you be playing for just CJ in SC2 or is there a possibility that you may join another team?

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?

I have a few so instead of posting multiple times I'll just post/edit/update this post to keep the thread cleaner. Pick as many as you like ^^

-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?

I would like to ask Idra the following: The zergling upgrade "Adrenal Glands" almost never sees use in battles. Is it an upgrade you use or consider useful in some situations or with a certain build, or is it not worth it anymore to get 'cracklings'?

My dearest IdrA- why Zerg? What is it about the race that stands out and says, "IdrA, you will pwn face with me"? What capabilities of the Zerg attract you that give you a leg up on others? I am curious because I plan on playing Zerg and I think it would help me understand how to utilize their pros and strengthen the cons.

Thanks,
Nimbus

If you can go back in time before you became a pro gamer would you still go down the same road or would you choose a different path, college etc.. ?

what do you think of korean girls?

Artosis, please ask IdrA what he thinks role of creativity is StarCraft 2 and when he thinks phase 2 will start. Even if you think phase 2 will start before you release the interview I am really curious to see if he can correctly predict it Also, ask him what advice he would have for a physically disabled StarCraft 2 player who aspires to be successful in competition.

I would think advice about physical disabilities would be pretty hard to answer without knowing the physical disability. Are you deaf? Do you play with your toes?

For the coming expansion: Heart of the Swarm: What type of unit do you believe the zerg needs. Be specific in it's role, and how it may achieve it while being unique. Please do not reference any Brood War Units such as the Lurker or Scourge, as those are overused in this type of discussion. Don't worry too much about balance numbers.

LOL not exactly... I'm a quad amputee but I use a mouse and keyboard like everyone else. I'm a student of iNcontroL's Right now I am playing at high plat/low diamond level and even though IdrA doesn't have a physical disability himself, he does know an exceptional amount about the way competetive gaming works... this is a rare opportunity to ask this question of an English speaking progamer who has spent extensive time in Korea!

Hey IdrA.

Why so BM??

Why you pick Z instead of T?

You pretend going back to USA and try living by playing SC2 or CJ have plans for SC2?

You still have the same passion that you have in begin of BW?

You think koreans gonna dominate SC2 like BW?

Have you considered referring to yourself in third person? It's gives you +10 in street-credibility.

Do you feel 200/200 for ov transportation is too much and limits zerg mid game opportunities considering zerglings are so fragile and every other zerg unit is gas intensive? Thanks!

Do you feel it is a good idea to begin balancing a game in its beta stages, before complex ways of playing have been developed and strategies explored?

Hey guys. We get it. He has a reputation for BM. If you've got a question about a specific "bad mannered" event that you wanna ask about, that's cool. But lay off the general snarky comments. Idra isn't answering the questions here, Artosis is gonna pick the best questions and interview him, so you're just cluttering the thread.

IdrA,

Most would agree your greatest strengths as a player in SC2 are your mechanics. In your opinion what is the greatest weakness in your game? And what do you do to try to improve upon your faults?

Do you get any animosity from fellow pro-gamers, B teamers or even Korean netizens?

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) ?

1. Have you stopped all BW practice and truthfully, will we ever see you in PL? Do you still care about BW or have you fully moved on?
2. What does CJ think of you practicing SC2 mostly nowadays instead of BW? Are you even considered anymore for anything BW such as being a practice partner, etc?

Q:

Idra, you're known for being able to mass games for a very long period of time, much like the korean progamers. How are you able to do this, or what's your secret, to staying in the right state of mind, when you're known to get very angry at your losses?
Until I write you again, take care of your precious person.

Dear IdrA,

how exactly do you train your builds if Zerg is in a reactionary position most of the time? Do you just ask Artosis to throw every strategy against you?

Any crazy spleens or rituals in between games?

IdrA, do feel close to anyone in particular on CJ that you would call a good friend despite the language barrier?

IdrA, when SC2 fails to reach BW popularity in Korea but remains strong in the foreign scene, will you return to BW and stay in Korea or continue playing SC2 and move back to the USA?

Out of every recognized foreigner in the sc scene, against which one would you
a. want to fight
b. think you could win in a fistfight

More serious question:
How useful do you think zerglings will be in the SC2 late game with the removal of dark swarm and the addition of roaches and colossi?

First of all I'd like to thank Artosis for once again handling a community generated event to interact with pro-gamers.

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.

Dear IdrA, is there any chance to see a few games of StarCraft 2 between you and TLO, with you playing as terran (with emphasis on mech) and TLO playing as zerg? I'd love to see if TLO can survive it, as he often said that there isn't any imbalance with tanks and their smart shooting.

Keep up the good work and supply us with lots of great games!

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

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?

id like to know if he believes that the lack of infestor use makes him a worse player

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.

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

My question for Idra:

You have been playing mainly as Zerg in the SC2 beta if I am correct. I know you are thought of as a Macro oriented player by some, but do you have any thoughts on early Zerg cheeses and/or all in strategies as zerg? Are there any you like or use?

You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, Idra?

Q: Do you have specific builds to counter each build (FE,Reaper Rush, Bio, Mech,Phoenix etc etc), or do you have a general Z v P /T/ Z plan? If so, can you go into a little bit of the specifics of what your general plan looks like when playing against each of the match ups?

Q: It seems FE is your preferred style of play, but do you think there are any advantages in opening with one base rushes (against T and P) - not necessarily to win, but to feign pressure and allow for a safer expand and map control? Or do you believe it's best to turtle and wait for the economic advantage of a FE to kick in?

i realize artosis might not read this far,
but i'm very curious about mouse settings.
how sensitive do you (or most pros) have your mouse set to, and do you move it mostly with your fingers, wrist, elbow, or shoulder?

also do you do any specific exercises to train mouseskills? other then spamming games

What's it feel like to be a penguin. Do you ever get cold? I heard the seals tend to bully you for being good at games, how does this impact your social life? Can you explain how you learned to use a keyboard with flippers? Also can you please explain to your fans why you have to constantly turn your head on the side to see your screen, is this to put the other player off?

Thanks for your time.

More Korea, less starcraft related question:

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

Idra,

#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.

As a progamer, how do you feel about BW/SC2? Is it more like a job now? Do you have fun playing?
I mean not the tournaments, where I guess the adrenalin is up, but the casual daily stuff?

What was your reaction when you found out you made tossgirl cry? And similarly how does it feel when some of the Koreans get nationalistic with Korean vs foreign matchups (particularly when they lose). For example tossgirl seemingly more upset to lose to a foreigner than actually lose itself.

Idra, since you went to Korea and became an SC pro basically right out of high school, what do you think you would be doing now if you never had SC, and do you have any other skills/interest besides gaming (ex: fan of Literature, painting, math, biology)?

Do you think you would of ended up being just "another guy" at a community college not really knowing what they want to do? (like I was for my first two years)

There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 mph, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do?

how are the other players there? are the casual gamers as good as eu or us-casuals? or are they really that much better?

I have no special questions for Idra, but some for general life in south korea. Show us something korea/sc2-related. I loved your coverage of the sc2 tourney, just because you started your recording even before you entered the building. I'm living in germany and have no clue what the life in korea looks like.
I really like idras playstyle - so dont get it wrong - but i don't wanna see European/US guys sitting in front of your cam all the time, HEY you are in south korea ;-) So at least start recording before entering the bar

Greetings from Germany to South Korea, that crazy cool country.

Man lots of people banned in the Q&A for idra.

(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?

Question
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?

starcraft skill transfers into anything. its basically the raw form of skillz )) wanna get good at something, play starcraft!

on a serious note tho, seeing how esport gets easier and easier in speed needed i think getting older is not so bad anymore. ive heard many say this that age doesnt even cost u in sc2, imagine what comes next after sc2 in 4-8 years xd

if he gets bored of games hell prolly just go back to america and get a normal job, but i doubt this is the last thing greg wants

I want you to ask Idra if he still has the same drive today to play Starcraft as he used to have. Once upon a time a long time ago when Idra was very unknown on west [S.SenCe] team he had an amazing drive to become a better player. Needless to say 3-4 years later hes done it. He went to South Korea and did what no one would think at the time he would be able to do. In the process then and even now did he ever lose his drive to become the best?

How do you feel about what blizzard has done to their forums?

How do you feel about blizzard making SCII 3D?

What guide do you feel is the most informative and why?

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.

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.

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)

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.

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?

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?

I just went to amsterdam and shagged 2 prostitues. what are your thoughts on prostitues? would you lose your virginity to one? i have three friends who have lost them to amsterdam prostitues

Have you lost your virginity?? and if thats too personal have you ever had sex with any asian fan girls?

I thought 50 euro for a stunner was a good deal what about you idra? would you pay 50 euro for the most fit whore you ever did sleep with>>?

Do you think if toss-girl slept with some of the estro players they would either play harder? or stop playing and give up gaming for the sake of pussy?

-Do you plan on going to University in the future?

How do you communicate with the CJ house? Do you ever play the Korean pros on that team (EffOrt, skYhigh) a lot, or just occasionally.
Do Koreans ever play UMS maps as training, e.g. Micro maps, macromicro

they use that equipment cause the "modern" equipment is absolute shit aka non-mechanical keyboards. mini mouse is nice for people with smaller hands and more comfortable cause fps (max dpi) isn't a huge deal with rts games. it's like fps isn't gonna change the outcome of a starcraft match. so why bother with the fancy stuff cause skill prevails here not strafe and shoot aka more skills involved. YES I WENT THERE!!!

Idra when you trash talk ect in games when you lose, is it out of frustration of that game itself or do you really mean the things you say to people?

the sound for some reason is significantly less annoying on 240p for me. 360p & 480p were totally unwatchable.


u do know that thats the video quality right? has nothing to do with the audio

still can't watch it its just unbearably the noise

Wrong... Audio quality is affected by the setting.


rly? new for me
In anyway for me it makes no difference

how comes some of you can listen to the interview, while some of us cant at all because of that ringing noise?

Great video, thanks for the interview. The rapid pace of the interview made for some really open and honest responses. Really really enjoyed this. The buzz was annoying but was easily ignored. The video was great, thanks!

I really like this interview. It has obvious audio problems, but it kind of made me like IdrA more. Thanks!

EDIT: "Flash or Nada" was pretty funny. :D

had to turn the audio down to almost 0 to get rid of the damn ringing noise. i can still barely hear it but the voices are more dominant at low volume.

There was some minor audio problems. I found when I switched to using my headphones instead of speakers the dialogue became more distinct from the buzzing sound.

Good interview!

Good interview. Some of the questions amused me greatly. Annoying buzzing sound is annoying.

hmm for me the ringing tone was around 50% of the rest of the sound, and after 1 min I wasnt paying attention to it at all, it's a simple matter of be selective about what you want to listen to (an ability you learn when being around bronze players who think they are starcraft gods )

Do you have, or ever had any regrets for going to Korea instead of staying in the US to study/work?

What are your plans for the future? Are you going to go back to BW if it`s still alive and SC2 doesn`t work out for you? Staying in Korea or moving back to US in the future if you had the choice? A lifetime career in Esports?

Mix in some vuvuzelas, and nobody will notice the current ringing tone

Not to sound like a prick but maybe, JUST MAYBE, a mod (or Artosis himself) can update the OP and maybe put the video, link, or whatever to avoid the retarded bumps ya?

Ask him for his personal definition of what "cheese" is. What constitutes cheese? When is an opponents strategy not "cheese" and his win deserved?

Agreed that we need a link to the video. Preferably embedded cause I'm feeling ultra lazy.
