What's interesting is that even though he was top of the Korean ladder for almost a year, he feels like he still had no idea how to play the game until he joined oGs 2 months ago. I guess that's his way of saying training at home is nothing compared to a team house.

Great play by him so far, really excited for more BW legends to join SC2!

Haha well put. Dood improved insanely fast, like KR diamond to almost code S in 2 months.... shit son

He's been playing on a high level for much longer than 2 months.

Even though Im a July fan, and always has been. Like seriously: July was the FIRST zerg I looked up to in BroodWar.

I think ForGG will just wipe the floor with him =(

Thanks so much for posting this.

I've never been as hyped about a player as fOrGG. I never had the pleasure of watching these ex-BW stars, but even an uneducated buffoon like myself was able to see both the creativity and accuracy in his play style in the matches against Sage and Polt and I'm really excited to see how he goes in the next round.

Looking forward to watching him on his SC2 journey

Thanks for the translation.

I read it as bionic being more complicated than in SC1.

Anyway, thanks for the interview! Was waiting for this.


I think it really depends on the way you read. I think he's saying that Bionic is also more difficult to use. Therefore terran overall is more difficult in sc2. =) i think.. hehe

Thanks though. I appreciate your comment!

Thanks for reading guys!


Considering how hard bw was in general, I find this a little hard to believe haha. Maybe it's different for a top-level pro.

Thanks so much for translating this. It's clear during his code A run that he's a great player, so it's nice to get to know some of his mindset/personality too, since we'll probably be seeing a lot more of him in the future!

There are a lot of korean on top of the ladder that always fail in the qualifiers : Apocalypse and Luxury (not sure for Luxury) come to mind, and there are probably others.
So yeah basically being on top of the ladder shows potential, but that doesn't guarantee anything

BW Terran is mechanically harder than SC2 Terran. But the Terran race was simpler in BW (for better or for worse). Difficulty and simplicity are two different things.

always cool to hear about the perspective of people who have played both games professionally. ForGG Hwaighting!

EDIT: When I read bionic is more complicated, I thought of marine splits vs banelings, which requires a wc3-esque micro. That type of micro isn't typically seen much in BW, unless you have very few marines and you need to kill some lurkers. Since marines are so cheap you can usually have a handful and move them around in the magic box, but against banelings splitting is a must. I'm sure there are other instances hes referring to, but that's the one that came to my mind

I think when the article says 2 months, they're only counting what he calls "legit pracitce" in the oGs Team.

"Returns to progaming" doesn't mean when he picked up his copy of SC2.
