Wow, this guy is more cocky than I thought he was.

Q. You’re about to play games in North America, how do you feel?
A. I’m very honoured. Foreigners are known to play games freely, but I think that Koreans are still better gamers. I’m expecting the Blizzcon main events to be a lot easier than the qualifiers.

He did win it though.

No. It's great to see someone saying some shit.


Seen Jaedong interviews? The guy can say w/e he wants and no one would say anything because HE'S THE DONG. NEXGenius is just some cocky guy who won a Blizzcon tournament.

Why would tester be mad against this guy
Q. There are discussions on who the top protoss is between you and oGsMC.
A. The top protoss is definitely sSKS, but oGsMC has been improving. I hope we can all do well.


And honestly, I think he's way better than hopetorture if he plays his regular robo build. Hopetorture said he was surprised he didn't have to play against it. This however confirms to me why he lost:


Q. Your goal at the moment?
A. I have come up with new builds, which I was able to hide in the Ro64. I want to show off these builds in the tournament. I think last season was a punishment for not practicing.


He wanted to show off his new builds. I mean look at his games against terran. Always slow macro from robo play. And he completely dominates with it. But look at his builds against Hopetorture's terran. Voidray play and blink stalker. In short he got cocky thinking he could beat Hopetorture with his untested spiffy creative builds instead of his tried and true robo play.

He's only the highest-achieving Korean Protoss, after all.

ps: remember when JD was knocked out of the OSL by backho? People lose games.

Yeah, he's a little cocky, but I like that. It's not like he's cocky and bm. If you have been doing well lately then of course you want to win the whole thing. He's one of the few Korean players that shows personality and doesn't give boring answers.

Thanks for the translation. He's not too bad I guess, from the interview. But maybe they dislike him from playing with him.

Despite being cocky, NexGenius is without a doubt a top5 protoss. His games in the grand finals of Blizzcon were very solid (4-0ing Loner isn't as easy as he made it look) and he's the protoss that made it the farthest so far (i think).

They do hate Idra.

And for good reason.

I think its funny how much slack he's getting for waving his finger at the camera after taking the first game of ITR. yeah, he didn't do as well following that, but at least he was entertaining...maybe idra will be supplanted as lead villain.

anyways, thanks for the interviews.

Really? For just waving a finger?

There was a time when it took throwing rice at the other team while stripping to a bathing suit and dancing your way into the sea before getting on a table to crotch-thrust the sky to raise peoples' attention.

I dislike NEXGenius, and in fact, I dislike most Protoss players (don't like Protoss in general). Zerg is tolerable, but don't like them much as well. However, this makes watching the games all the more exciting. I was super happy when the "finger wagger" got pwned

I have a similar example in soccer. I love watching the English Premier League because I really dislike Manchester United.

I have a rating system about how much enjoyment I get out of a match:
1. The liking differential of the players (e.g. if Boxer plays Nada, the difference is not much, as compared to Boxer vs NEXGenius).
2. The prestige of the match (e.g. how big the tournament is, finals > R64).
3. The quality of the players/game.

These 3 criteria are then multiplied. Thus, a lower score on one criteria will affect the enjoyment level. However, it's a double edged sword: if the player I want to win loses... then effectively the score is a large negative, and I'll be super pissed!

NEXGenius is a bad-ass despite getting eliminated. Its also nice to see that he referenced the "Legend of the Fall" in one of his interviews. Sadly, it won't be coming true

Thanks for the package interviews. I am now a NEXGenius fan based off these responses. He even retraces his steps and admits he thinks Tester is still the best Toss after his proclaimed "I'm the best, mayyyynneee. [I deeed it]."
