You must be a huge IdrA fan. Interviews are to see the personality of the person more than it is to get some serious answers unless it's for politics or something. She gave a great interview.
She's a girl who won the most exposed female tournament for sc2 while being a celebrity, it's interesting even if you exclude that she's a celebrity. If you're not interested then don't read it and don't comment about it. I don't really understand the logic of being uninterested then wasting your time reading and commenting about it.
I'd like to see her improve and be caught in longer games, her replays from the cup are all like 8-14 minutes.
I'm pretty sure this is her sc2ranks profile. http://sc2ranks.com/tw/192423/Pikachu

Considering she's a TV star, I'm pretty sure she's making more money than the best e-sports players in her day job.

Hope she gets into the male proscene. I want to see more double-X in SC2, seeing as it's already too late for BW. Not a woman, just interested in not having a sausagefest... SCgirlfriend is too good to not check out.

Q: Zergs: Cute or disgusting?
A: Zergs are cool! I love banelings, rolling around so very cute!
Right.... this question should be in every serious interviewer's arsenal.

everything which gives more positive attention to sc2 is good with me.

The top BW players make the equivalent of roughly $300,000. You don't think a huge TV star in Taiwan is easily making more than that?

TV stars in Taiwan don't make much money in comparison to Western countries. I doubt she makes more than 100k.

Nice interview. I dont get people that hate this interview? How often do you see a girl that good at RTS? She got some serious skill there, better than many guys around here I guess, for that only she has my support.
I dont think she's gonna step in the pro-gamer area. She just play SC2 'cos she loves it.
EDIT: I just do some google with her Chinese name. One more thing I found, she was very good at math when she was in school. Very smart girl I'd say :D

Q: People are wondering, from the time of your first replays that's released publicly a few months ago 'til your recent ranking in diamond. Could you please talk a little bit about your training process?
A: When I first released my replays I was a baby Pikachu, now I've grown! Diamonds are a girl's best friend. When I started I didn't care about improving my skills, what I really wanted that shiny diamond.
This answer made me a fan of this girl  I think I never saw such a great, cute, non-elitist answer.

Oh snap, playing on an iMac as well. Awesome.

Really? I got the impression from her Wikipedia and Facebook page that she's a pretty big A-list actress. I left the Philippines a decade ago and it's my impression that the biggest celebrities there (even the non-Pacquaio ones) make more than that. Taiwan is a more developed country.

I find it funny how some neckbeards get upset about female tournaments while at the same time avidly supporting 'foreigner tournaments'. In both tournaments, most "top players" don't participate, but for some reason it's only the female tournaments that get under their skin. I wonder why? Actually I don't wonder.
Get over it, and congratulations to Linda Liao. Fun interview, I wish they would ask these kinds of questions to male players too so the interviews would be less boring.

Haven't looked at her facebook page but the Wikipedia entry is far from showing shes a a big a-list actress.

She's only getting attention because she's an attractive female. Hilarious shit. She might even be a good player, but she'll never really be recognized for it.
