And no, none of the conspiracy theories are correct. Fruitseller and Tester just got tired of the strict regiment in the team. They felt it was hindering their enjoyment. dude, stand up and translate this man, nobody else is even on to this yet and make a new thread for the 2 interviews when you're done, definite deserve their own thread. | ||

You must be as diligent in SC2 as in BW. | ||

From what I've seen so far, the top foreigners have showed this to some extent. Obviously they will have to commit more time to SC2 as the game progresses. With teams like SK, etc coming into the fray i see this coming more of a possibility in the future compared to foreigner BW. | ||

Is zerg underpowered? I have enough confidence to beat any zerg, no matter how good they are, with a different race. That's how difficult it is for zerg. Zerg are lacking the small details at the moment. It's not terrible but it's very hard to win the brute force battles against other races after mid-late game. So.. the best Korean zerg in the world (Cool), the best European zerg (Dimaga) and the best American (Idra) all think Zerg is broken (along with tons of others). But Blizzard is still pointing at the Korean ladder.. "oh look they're doing fine". | ||

He is right, the age of 10 hour practices are over, mental advances will start to take the edge over burning yourself out. For any sort of longevity in the scene you will be better off creating a practice regiment with balance instead of just trying to cram games in. | ||

Just look at patch 17 of beta which reverted some changes that were meant for their internal servers. | ||

Q- What have you been up to after you retirement as a progamer? A- I've been doing this and that after my retirement. I couldnt get a postponement on my military service so i had to do that quite abruptly. I didnt find out i was going until just 3 days before (laughter). I quit work and reported in but my health wasnt great so i had to leave the training camp prematurely. It was the worst situation to be in. I was so embarrassed i submerged (korean expression for staying on the low) for around a month (another laughter). I tried going back to work but things werent going so great so i got into Starcraft 2(SC2) during my breaks. After playing for a while, i attended some tournaments with good players and things just continued to this point in time (more laughter  )Q- Why did you decide to quit the progaming scene in the first place? A- I retired because i was lazy. I wasnt improving much so i made the decision to quit. To be frank, when i started playing SC2, i wasnt thinking about tournaments but just enjoying the game. However as the tournaments grew in size, so did my ambition. That naturally led to concerns about how much practice hours to put in. I dont practice a lot but i want to change that. Q- Compared to other former BW players, you are distinguishing yourself. thoughts? A- I do think i am better then most but thats down to the fact that there are a lot former Warcraft 3 players on the SC2 scene. Its SC2 not Warcraft 4. So this is why i think im more equipped in the fundamentals to do better. Q- I heard Zerg is a very hard race to play with. A- Even with the other races, i am quite confident that i can beat good zerg players. Thats how hard zerg is. Unlike other races, zerg's main powers are yet to be established. Its not bad but as you transition into mid-late games, its very hard to stand toe to toe with armies of the other races. Q- You are famous as 'Fruitseller'. why did you choose that ID? A- Thats my family's business. During the closed beta time (between phase 1 and 2) i helped out with the family and when i came back with the 2nd phase, the ID had been reset. So i just chose 'Fruitseller'. My ID during phase 1 was 'Stick-man' and many were recognising me. the reason i changed was because i wanted less of that. Q- Whats the difference between SC1 and SC2? A- The reason i was lazy when i played SC1 was because i had slow hands. I ended up having a lot of resources built up but in SC2, the interface is easier. Right now the hand speed isnt very important but as the active SC1 progamers come into the scene and time passes, im sure it will become much more important. Q- The GSL is coming up, are you practicing much? A- Frankly i dont practice that much even now (laughter). I dont like the fixation that i have to practice a lot. This is the reason i left oGs and its methodical nature with Tester and i am having fun practicing. To be honest, to win the GSL, i need to practice more and im sure there are others who are clocking in a lot more then i am. Im in a situation where i need to force myself to play games (laughter) and its difficult but i really need to be dilligent now. In truth, i just want to enjoy SC2. Q- You are becoming the hope to a lot of zerg players out there. A- I havent been giving 100% so far. I just wanted to have fun and thats why i played it. In the GSL, i will definitely show my best. If you see it yourself, you will know. Q- What do you think it'll be like if the currently active SC1 progamers play SC2? A- If you're in a progaming team, you play around 10 hours a day and thats why they have great hand skills. Im sure they will adapt quicker then the amateurs. However i think only the top tier players in SC1 right now can make the tranisition and become outstanding SC2 players. Those not at the top in SC1 can face the same situation in SC2. Whats important is the mindset and attitude to succeed. You really have to work your socks off in SC2 as well. Q- Surely though, they will have an advantage? A- SC1 and SC2 are different games. However it is still important to micro well to buy yourself time and i think SC1 players will have an advantage here. The great improvement in interface means its become quite comfortable to play. Also there is great diversity in strategies. I think in the long run, it'll be hard for players to dominate like Jaedong and Flash is doing right now. SC1 progamers' greatest advantage right now is their 'hands' but as time passes i think those aspects will become weaker (i know this kind of contradicts with his earlier statement but thats what the article says). However, when it comes to results, i think those who were good at SC1 will continue to do well in SC2. I just dont think the gap between the players will be as large. Q- Do you think Tester will be 'the' obstacle in your challenge for the GSL? A- I dont really think of him as the obstacle. I'll just try my best to enjoy the game as much as i can before beginning my military service. I prefer to see myself as a PCbang gosu then a progamer (laughter). Q- What is your target for the upcoming GSL? A- I think losing in the qualifying rounds will really be bad. If i can get through that unscathed, i think i will do well. My main target is to enjoy the league but i also want to play in a broadcasted match. Right now my ambition for the GSL means i dont want to show all my cards on internet broadcasts. There is a burden of expectation but i really think i can show something great in the GSL. if some of the sentences will feel disjointed, its because i translated too literally. my apologies for that but my korean is very rusty | ||

Can't we keep this discussion to the topic at hand? On topic: I really hope Team Liquid still can practice with them. They would be extremely valuable as practice partners. | ||

I really want to know the reason why they left because to play more freely is vague. Because they're retired BW pros in their late 20s about to go to the military and in their last days as progamers they want to enjoy their time as much as they can without enduring a 10-14 hour a day practice schedule. Makes sense? | ||
