Great interview, it's good to see a Korean that speaks his mind about the game.
But yeah being a Korean gamer is very imba. If you're a non-korean gamer you have to balance your game playing with earning money and your real life. If you're Korean you just sit around playing games all day eating 2 cent ramyun and becoming gosu.

Would like to know if this guy was inspired by spanishiwa for his opener, or if its a pure coincidence that the first 12minutes is played within 90% accuracy of spanishiwas ice fisher build.

This is super cool! It must be insanely competitive in the top 500korea since they all know they can probably supplant a lot of people in code A. Makes for a very crazy ladder (which HuK seems to dominate every time I watch him stream xD)!

Good to know about some of the other non-gsl players, is there anywhere I can view some of the old streams?


Pro gamers asked Xeph to not release the VODs of the stream because they fear to be analyzed by other pro gamers, so no VOD available and xeph seems to be away since A LONG TIME so no more live streams like that :'(

Is this going to be a special segment or something? or have I missed previous editions.

Seems to be a great player though, and looks like he has the potential to play all the races at a high level, which is a extraordinary trait.

If only foreignors could watch korean streams and such.

It says #1, as in the first edition. Also, Koreans don't stream nearly as much, if at all afaik.

And HayPro is from Iraq O.o?


Haypro is swedish.

Q. You mentioned you were far from becoming pros in BW. What do you think is the biggest difference between being a SC1 and SC2 progamer.
It's too difficult and challenging to become a pro in BW because all the teams are run by big companies so it's more closed. In SC2, because the ladder system shows rankings it promotes people to challenge themselves more and makes it a bit easier to become well known.



Because of big company/closed system? Yeah right, we all know the true answer is: Others were better than me.

I think he has a point, it's easier to get your name out there with the bnet ladder that everyone is playing on.

Awesome interview, you should do more of these. I feel the questions in this interview are significantly betters than others I have read which focus on irrelevant stuff such as BM, rage etc.

Keep it up

EDIT: What happened to Xeph´s stream, it used to show a lot of DongRaeGu´s awesome games!

It's really interesting, I feel like a lot of Koreans acknowledge Huk as one of the top 3 foreigners if not the best foreigner ... is it just a lot of nerves that prevent him from showing as good results as say Jinro in tourney play?

Very interesting that he picked Huk out as the best foreign player. Maybe there really is something to all the Huk fans that cry about him being way better on the ladder?

Just something to think about..
For Aiur???

This is one of the better things i've seen on TL, since we only can take part of such a small slice of Korean progaming(GomTV).

Thx alot TL!

Thanks for the interview! I like the fact that he's quite open in his answers and not afraid to throw out some criticism either!

Only statement that seems kind of absurd is

Q. You mentioned you were far from becoming pros in BW. What do you think is the biggest difference between being a SC1 and SC2 progamer.
It's too difficult and challenging to become a pro in BW because all the teams are run by big companies so it's more closed. In SC2, because the ladder system shows rankings it promotes people to challenge themselves more and makes it a bit easier to become well known.

Amateur BW players in Korea have Courage as a direct way to display their talents, it might be too difficult and challenging to compete with everyone else trying though..
