Nice interview. I have my doubts that he will truly improve in a foreign environment, but it will probably be an experience for him nonetheless.

BTW can anyone tell me what this 11-11 build is? I have seen it mentioned by a couple of Koreans, but I'm not sure what it is. Is it just a very early 2rax (as in 11rax, 11rax) or something like that?

Good interview. I laughed at the IdrA portion. Zenio, Ensnare, Rain, he's made quite a few impressions and a few enemies on the ladder.

ty for the translation milkis!

Rain seems to have his goals set, moving to another country is no small undertaking and just realizing his goals. Gained my respect.

I actually love watching rain play. I'm curious to see if he plays some macro games against the weaker competition

He actually played 2 decent macro games against IMmvp recently. I think he can be a good player, if only he gets rid of his tendency to cheese and focuses on developing a solid play-stile.

He is certainly underrated. He is qualified for the NASL season 2 after reaching the Ro8 of the open tournament, which is where Thorzain fell as well. He was knocked out by a fellow Korean I think. Although a lot of his televised matches are cheeses, I don't actually think he is a cheesy player. Just like, if you saw Idra in IPL 1 and MLG Columbus, you would think Idra is a cheesy player as well. I think Rain has the same mentality of "if you think your opponent is better than you, just cheese as you'd be outplayed otherwise."
