Note: I used the TIG interview to clarify bits of this interview. I didn't add the details from the TIG interview though
▼ A Lim Jin Rok happened in Starcraft 2. If I had to hear about your thoughts?
BoxeR - When Yellow retired, it really hit my mind pretty hard. I didn't know if I would ever be able to play in a Lim Jin Rok again, and because I imagined that he would never return as a gamer, I think I got to play in a match that I could have never imagined would take place. Even though Yellow lost, I don't know what would have happened if I lost. I think it's amazing enough that he showed us a match of this caliber in a month. Yellow is really amazing. 
YellOw - It was a place with a lot of meaning. When BoxeR went over to Starcraft 2, I wondered if a Lim Jin Rok could take place again, and I was uplifted that we got to play. I didn't have a lot of time to practice, but I prepared diligently. But because there was a huge skill differential, I lost embarrassingly. I thought of this Lim Jin Rok a bit lightly, but when I played and I lost, even though I retired, I've gained some competitive spirit. If I gain the opportunity in the future, I'll do my best to make sure there aren't any humiliating games. ▼ Have you considered transitioning to Starcraft 2?
Yellow - To a certain extent, I'm not at a stage where I could answer with any certainty whether I will transition or not. When I retired from being a gamer, I packed away all the lingering dreams I had as a gamer, and so while it isn't impossible I'll challenge myself as a Starcraft 2 gamer, it's very unlikely. After I retired, I've gotten some relationships with Starcraft 2 and even got to play in a match. I don't know if there'll be any turning points that will trigger me to transition.
BoxeR - We should do this more often. I hope Yellow doesn't think of this as humiliation.
▼ If you had to compare [Yellow's skill level] with your skill level after you played a month?
BoxeR - While I might have been one of the top players when I first placed, now things have become systemized and it's really difficult to get to Code S, so I won't be able to say anything concrete unless he plays consistently for over two months. If he's this good after playing a month, then I think he played really well. Because he thinks completely differently from all the other Zerg players in Starcraft 2, I think fans will like him.
▼ Lim Jin Rok were historical moments in Starcraft 1. How do you want Lim Jin Rok to be remembered in Starcraft 2?
Boxer - I want it to happen amidst an atmosphere of festivity for the fans. I saw that people fixed Yellow's chance to win as 22.2% when Yellow and I play and learned what the fans had wanted. In Starcraft 2, I hope a rival format happens again, a format where we both try to overcome each other.
▼ Suppose that you did decide to come back. Do you have any thoughts of joining SlayerS?
Yellow - If I make a come back then all realms of possibility are open. I'm not going to not go just because it's the team that has BoxeR. I think in order to overcome that person, being on the same team would be helpful. I think it's one good method.
BoxeR - I'm against it. I think it'll be better if Yellow made his own team. If you look at the big picture for the Starcraft 2 market, I think Yellow having his own identity would be for the best for e-Sports.
▼ If you had to say something to the fans?
BoxeR - I don't know how much I drove up Yellow's competitive spirit, but if I introduced to him how the game plays and raised his competitive spirit then that's enough for me. I'll do my best so that Yellow comes into Starcraft 2.
Yellow - I've been having fun with Starcraft 2 from before. When I played Zerg in Starcraft 2, I think the race has changed a lot due to the Queen. I played a lot because I found this very fun, and I think today I've only gained competitive spirit. It's been a while since I felt this, and I'd be satisfied if all the fans had fun, but personally I'm a bit disappointed since they'd be the happiest if they saw me win. I'll remember this match and use this to spark my revenge if the opportunity arises again and I get to play BoxeR again.
Lim Jin Rok refers to Boxer vs Yellow matches. Lim Yo Hwan, Hong Jin Ho, and I believe "Rok" refers to records.
But wow, you are fast.
