The real burning questions I would have asked Mr. Chae:
1. Why can't you just admit that NaNiwa had been punished through the revoking of his Code S seed for probe rushing a meaningless game? Your alternative explanation that he had no seed in the first place seemed a bit crazy because it broke the agreement of the League Exchange Program, and seemed more like an insult to the first (and only) non-Korean that would have earned a seed through the system.
2. Any plans to provide restreams of the GSL for Western audiences? Us Europeans are a bit pissed off with being required to watch in late morning and I'm sure a lot of Americans are pissed off with having to watch extremely early morning?
3. Any plans to improve the GSL format some more? In particular Code A where your odds of being eliminated from the GSL depend on the opponent you face (In the case of NaNiwa, he faced Lucky (known to have near unstoppable ZvP).... TWICE IN A ROW each time he did earn a Code A seed.) I feel a Ro48 group stage is a necessity to actually more fairly determine who should remain in the GSL..
4. Any plans to ditch GOM Player as a requirement for HQ streaming? You know..... because Twitch TV is more convenient, has a better SQ stream, lets you place a paywall on certain qualities, doesn't require you to run external software to view and is more popular outside of South Korea. Oh and also because every other major tournament uses a browser based flash livestream.
5. In response to the NASL finally promising free VODs in Season 3 and with successful leagues such as Major League Gaming, IGN Pro League, Dreamhack, WCG, ESWC etc offering free ad supported videos on demand. Will GOMTV finally do what every other major tournament has done and remove the paywall from VODs? Why would anyone deliberately agree to an "interview" that's actually nothing more than thinly veiled complaints from a highly opinionated individual? Injecting such opinions so heavily into the question removes it from being a question at all; you're just venting what you think GOMTV should do, which may not even be good ideas for the company at all. This is why we have awesome people like Waxangel doing the interviews at TL. i wish i can speak like you...exact thoughts when i saw those questions but i just couldn't put it to words  I personally think I end up being redundant too often, either with my point or with certain phrases.. but thank you for the compliment! 
yeah like "i personally think" (same as i think) LOL
just poking fun  i agree with u 100% on the questions. nicely put

Good reply. I'm all for hard questions, but those are just someone moaning and telling the "interviewee" how they should behave. Maybe something about Naniwa and the misinformation around the situation would have been legitimate, but there's only so much time in an interview and personally I'm incredibly bored by the matter.
Anyway, good interview. GOM certainly have a positive attitude which I really like, and the comments on the financial situation are at least somewhat reassuring. Definitely the best tournament and I hope they keep up the great work. :D
|
That last question... mind blown.
|
"Also, we have some good news regarding the GSTL that will be sure to surprise you. Look forward to it, we guarantee it won't disappoint."
maybe a/some broodwarteam(s) joining?
when starts the first gstl this year? maybe in around 40 days?^^
|
I guess I'm in the minority when I say I thought the questions were pretty softball?
|
I threw a frisbee around with Mr. Chae on the beach in Atlantic City during IPL3. He's the best!
|
Mr Chae is the first person i've ever seen drop a sport analogy which actually applies to the situation and backs up his point properly. He's a smart man ^_^
Great interview~! Last question was pretty damn funny though.
|
You can not ask him question he won't feel good about because there will be no interview next time. When asking question you have to be smart and know the limits. This is a good informative interview. But again we learn a lot and yet nothing.
I do like how he said that ForGG has to prove that he is THAT GOOD. As we saw today, he is on same level as everybody else.
|
Great interview, I like Mr. Chae, he did really well on Stotg. I wish he would do more of that. They got a close up of him during the crowd roaring at Blizzcon, his face was priceless 
|
Mr. Chae is such a badass. Thanks for the interview. Very insightful!
|
Insanely good interview. Looking forward to everything GSL this year!
|
So glad I put in for the year ticket, I love the changes. SO far group a and B have been insane this season! Best of 3 makes for much more intense and fair matches, no more groaning when your favourite player loses his 1 shot to some lame cheese.
|
Also, we have some good news regarding the GSTL that will be sure to surprise you. Look forward to it, we guarantee it won't disappoint.
Foreigner team invites. Most likely EG, Mouz, TL
|
I'm sure you guys said this, but damn... hard hitting questions. Its like the reporter thought "what would Mr. Chae least like to be asked?" I love it. i wish american reporters had these balls. and kudos to Mr. Chae. He's really on point.
|
Very interesting interview, thanks for posting.
|
Thank god all the Naniwa anti-drama has died down and all the whiners can once again recognize Mr. Chae and the GSL for what they are: esports godsends.
Great interview, thanks for providing.
|
Very good interview, I'm one of the people that think reducing the amount of leagues is a good idea, also makes winning the championships more valuable and the champions more special.
However I would love to see World Championship again and also more GSTL.
|
This interview was a really great interview. I'm looking forward to the GSTL news, especially since it's coming up soon I really want to buy that GSTL season ticket >.<!! It's also interesting to see what AoL might turn into as well ^^
|
They just about confirmed another World Championship.
FUCK. YES.
