It is unfortunate team IM will not be participating in GSTL. What do you feel about our team’s exclusion and what do you plan on doing for the next week while GSTL is occurring?

This question requires a delicate answer. I am very sad that IM won’t be able to participate in the GSTL. However we don’t have any complaint about it. The rules are stated clearly and as players and coaches, we must abide by the rules. I personally feel responsible for the exclusion of IM in the GSTL as I could have raised my team’s points by qualifying for a Code A, a goal that I failed this season. Most of my teammates including my coach firmly believed that I would qualify for Code A, but I repeatedly failed them. I am genuinely sorry. I will try my very best to qualify for the next season. This is the third GSTL. I personally pray that Startale will win this one. However, I hope that IM wins the rest of the future GSTLs. Please watch us win all the upcoming GSTLs and cheer for us continuously!

Awww I feel pretty bad for him

It's not personally his fault and he shouldn't blame himself.

I will cheer for YoungHwa. GL Fighting!

Thank you for doing these interviews, it's really nice to get some really indepth interviews with these lesser known pros from Korea. Normally when you read some korean interviews they're pretty short, kinda short answers and not being really analytical.

Do you mind if I ask how do you organise these interviews with the players? Are they done online or face to face in-person?

Man, these interviews are incredible. YongHwa seems very humble, and he gave some really nice strategic insights into his thoughts on the game. Great to have a bit of information about the practice schedule in the IM house too, these are the kind of things we don't really seem to know a lot of the time.

Very much enjoyed the extra information on the LG qualifier too, there doesn't seem to have been a whole lot of translated information about that to date which is a shame given how rare a non GSL Korean tournament is right now.

I love these interviews! I like his answer to the gtsl question, so many people qqing about it, but he is just honest about it and understands Orkut the rules were there long ago, they failed to qualify, end of story
