Wow, such a great read.
Code S in 2 months? Wow.
I hope he continues focusing on gaming and sticks to SC2, he will win a major title soon! ^^

The only question now is, who will get their 4th GSL championship first, Nestea, MVP, or fOrGG?

looks like he is the next target of the TL hype train. unlike other previously (and usually unfairly) hyped up players who never hang out long in code s, though, i actually want forgg to win spectacularly. forgg really needs no hype at all. he is one of the few members of the elite club of progaming - a winner of the most exacting competition in the world - by demolishing the 2 greatest players of starcraft in history 6-1. it wasn't even close.

forgg: simply too good to be retired.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

So basically he was fucking around on the ladder for a while and finally decided to train for real and own up GSL. Nice. Hopefully he goes far into code S next season, he's looking like he'll make it there for sure.

Forgg
You were quite popular in Starcraft 1

I actually lost a lot of fans since I retired from Starcraft 1. I guess I did not take care of them enough. Once I returned as a pro-gamer with Starcraft 2, all of my fans have evaporated. Haha. I’m sure they’re all doing well, but the Conqueror has returned and please support me. I was hoping that I will at least have some fans when debuting… but NONE came and I was shocked… haha
Unfortunately I was unable to take care of my fans because of my sudden decision of retiring from pro-gaming. I am very sorry and now that I am back, please support me again!


Don't worry I will try to catch your vods again if i can find them on youtube , it's great to see you doing well in a different field and you are still doing some crazy stuff like 2 barracks rush , Will support you in the future .

I am so sad forGG didn't join IM... learning personally from MVP would help him immensely improve much more.
Now... we need Flash to transfer over to SCII as well so we can see that MVP vs Flash rematch :D

I like how you leave out a pretty key word.


Mass laddering/custom games is practice wtf.... if you talking about team house, you realise that 80% of sc2 pros in eu/na dont have legitimate practice ? even though he played thousands games, in interview it's sound as he played for a few months and suddenly he is super good.


mass laddering.custom games is not real "practice". This kind of mentality that you can just sit and home and slack off playing at your own comfort is part of the reason for the skill gap.

Anyone who says that he isn't good is crazy. Such a high caliber gamer doesn't suck at any game he plays...
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

How do you know he wasn't laddering seriously at home? I'm pretty sure pros in teamhouses ladder all the time too, not just play custom games. Ladder is great for practice.

"Laddering seriously" is still not the same as team house training. Even he says that.

Did you even read the interview? He says he's still learning a lot about the game, and that he didn't even know what to do against Sage before he started practicing. Fact is, when you have people coaching you, and people around to help you it increases your game sense tremendously. Don't act like he's trying to compete with no name amateur NA GM players here. He's trying to get code S, and if you think you can get close to that with just laddering then well...

Funny how people complain about strict training regimens in SC2, and forGG basically says it's a walk in the park compared to BW.

ugh its so frustrating to see players who are like "yeahhhh i GUESS ill play starcraft 2" and end up almost in Code S after 2 months whereas I feel like I'll never even be able to get to diamond with how crappy i am. I mean he was a former pro-gamer but still lol. props to him though.

The team atmosphere is very comfortable to me. When I was in Starcraft 1, my life centered around practice all the time with a tight practice schedule. But practicing in oGs team is definitely more relaxing. I guess I feel like being a human again?

Gotta say, sounds like living in a BW-prohouse is a stressful experience. This is something many others have said as well.

Thanks for translating!

Edit: Stokes17: He has been playing since january.


It's also more proof that Starcraft 2 Koreans aren't training as hard as their Broodwar counterparts. That's why the Broodwar players do well when they switch, they still have Broodwar work ethic and training strategy which produces better results than casual practice.

This. It isn't superhuman, it's just really quite a strong work ethic.
