In his TIG interview, he says that he got into master league recently, and his division was newly formed, and #1 in his division is SlayersCoca. In SlayersCoca's division, there is only 1 zerg player who 1) joined the day division was created 2) hundreds of games played 3) no record from previous season, which is SlayersYellow.

Thanks for the article. It all but confirms that this is his account.

It was a good read in general. My Korean's terrible but I translated some interesting tidbits (it's ironic because I used bits of google translate to help me understand some of the bits. So all I did was really translate google translate's english in to... english -.-")

*Project A has been received well in Korea - woohoo! I love that show.

*When asked about the Lim Jin Rok
Mostly comments about how he’s bad at Starcraft II, with “rubbish skills”
Even the game I won was really a game BoxeR lost for me
I didn’t think I would win either, but I didn’t expect to lose like that. I thought I strategized enough, and thought that my prepared plays will at least make BoxeR think “wow, look at this guy. He’s got game” and I wanted to get that reaction from him, but instead I got embarrassed. Also, it’s been a while since I’ve been on the big stage, and I got nervous unexpectedly.
(all of these comments made light-heartedly with laughs in between)

*When asked about the stoking of his passion after the showmatch
I don’t know why, but I got really angry. Not at BoxeR, but at myself. In that emotion, I said, “let’s see what happens next time” and now these words have come to haunt me. It was a spur of the moment comment, and I remember going to bed thinking “why did I say that? What did I just say?”, and regretting it. But now that it’s all said and done, I do have to take responsibility, don’t I?

*When asked about Jessica being his agent
People said that I was joining Slayers, but this is not the case. She just manages the Starcraft II aspects of my life, and I could end up playing for Slayers, or by myself, or for another team.
(note this denial, as of 23rd August, means that even if SlayersYellow is indeed his account, he has not joined the team)

*When asked about how he got a farewell and a welcome to Starcraft I/II, but Nada and BoxeR didn’t – is he apologetic to them
Not at all. It’s their own faults. They should’ve done it like I did (laughs). I’m joking. But I wanted to ensure that I ended things right with BW. I spent 10 years with that game, and I couldn’t just end it casually. I had to take care of everything and bring closure and put much effort into that. It’s not that Nada and BoxeR did things wrong, but I just didn’t want to end that way.

*When asked about the differences between BW/SCII
It’s very different. I don’t know if I can compare it in this analogy, but SCII feels like SC with 4 or 5 expansions, and it feels complete. It feels like a similar game, but in order to get as good (he says “learn”) at SCII, you need to put in as much time as you did into SC. Imagine you are playing BW with 2001 builds and trends – this is how I feel currently.
You can’t just approach SCII like it’s the same game. I don’t have a lot of time allotted to me, and I think it’s a short amount of time to try learn a race like Zerg. Hence I haven’t had time to try Protoss or Terran. People think I got to Masters quickly, but I’m still lacking in a lot of ways.
When I played BW, I off-raced frequently. This is necessary to increase your understanding of matchups. (he makes a comment about not knowing how to use a certain type of units and other races’ strategies).

*When asked about his chance of success in Code A (September 3~4)
I’ve improved faster than I thought, and my resolve is the same, but what has changed is my opinion of the preliminary’s player pool. They’re a much higher standard than I thought. I practiced a lot with (younger players) and they are really good. But when I asked them, they said they also have to play in the preliminaries. I brutally showed me the difference in skill between myself and other players.
