Hey guys!

The interview will be posted on http://youtube.com/catspajamassc2

Oh, and shameless plugging for Doa's channels:

EDIT: This OP will be updated with the interview after the questions have been submitted and the interview conducted.

EDIT X2: Interview up!

How long have you been casting? Have you only been a caster for RTS games or have you dabbled in other genres?

It's still early days in your korean casting career but what are some big challenges you have had to face so far?

Are you starstruck by Tastetosis or is it already brotown over there for you guys?

Can you give me a shoutout next stream?

What are your opinions on the current skill level of the Code A players?

Would you prefer to cast with KellyMILKIES or Tasteless/Artosis?

- What's your professional / educational background?
- Do you plan to work in e-sports for a longer period of time if it works out?
- What race do you play and what rank are you?

With what kind of personality would you like to cast?

You can give an example like: somebody like Husky/Artosis/Tasteless/TB/Day[9] + what makes you and him a good duo.

Do you know who the other potential Code A caster considerations are? (if you're allowed to say)

Who would you most like to cast alongisde?

Edit: Oh, and if you were a cookie, what kind of cookie would you be?

How well versed are you in "Guinea Pig Facts"?

And by that I mean what are some non-Starcraft hobbies/games/pastimes that interest you and how much information do you have on them? It can be related to your educational background if you prefer.

I'm still not clear whether him or kelly are both permanent code A casters.

Anybody know?

And I wonder how hard the casting process was for the position.

Kelly's going back to singapore after this season

Doa, have you done anything else notable in the world of esports? I want to say I recognize you but I can't put my finger on how...

1. Could you tell us your casting history? It seems as though you're experienced in it.

2. What league are you in SC2? How would you compare the difficulty of this game with other RTS games?

3. Have you played any other RTS games before Starcraft 2? If you did, how would you compare them to SC2?

4. How did you get your casting name Doa? Is it by any chance related to the game Dead Or Alive?

5. Will Coca Cola give you a free can of soda next time? It felt wrong to see no cans there in the desk while the players had several...

How do you see yourself as a caster and what do you think would be your best type of casting partner if you establish a longer future in the GSL Code A?

Asking since the likes of Tasteless and Artosis have been know to put themselves in certain places as regards to what they contribute to the cast.

What commitments are you prepared to make to stand yourself out from the tastosis cliches?
If you're mad that someone else is brazenly trumpeting their beliefs with ignorance, perhaps you should be mad that you are doing it too.

Can you briefly describe your experience in Korea? Housing/Food places/transportation/ect... All questions will be GSL centric, but what's it like being in a different culture where starcraft is hailed? :D
