I like to be called 'Taleprime' or just 'Tale' and come here to give a good news to you about prime team and clan. This is the first time when I get the chance to make a thread on TL, so I can't sure here is the place I should write this on. If this is not the place, then please make me post this up to another forum.
The prime is formed by two parts : team and clan. The team is what you know. They are performing fantastic games on GSL and sometimes riding on plane for MLG or another tournaments. However, the clan is existing for sober friendship. They make a party for team members, cheer their team at GomTV studio, and perform at korean amateur league.
The prime clan plans to make their own clan megazine and it consists of interviews of the team members. The magazine would be published online through the clan homepage, including interviews, news, fan arts, and some articles not determined yet.
On the behalf of the team, MKP accepted the first interview and we are gathering questions from many sites like TL or PlayXP. You can find answers you want to know, when you post up comments. The questions would be translated to Korean and marineking would reply your curious query at the magazine. the answers would be translated to English also. (Translation can be, but not sure 100% this time)
We will gather the questions until Jan 25th 2012. The magazine would be published in two months maybe(not certain also because we don't know how the magazine is constructed fully
Please make us collect more and more questions! Of course, not all questions can be selected. This is very sorry. But as a fan, you deserve to have a question for your gamers.
We are making another event for prime fans. Coming soon~
Good Luck!
* Some bad grammar can be found. my bad!
* The event has been finished. Please wait for the next time!
Dear MKP, Can I buy your glasses? OR where can I get a pair, thank you. What are your current goals as a pro gamer, e.g. more competitions abroad or korea?

you recently participated in the Home Story Cup iV in germany where you finished in a decent spot. Did you enjoy the relaxed atmosphere at the Home Story Cup or do rather enjoy the professionel atmosphere of the GSL ? Also what is your favorite Korean food and what is your favorite foreign food ?
If u ever will change ur race will u keep the Marineking name? :D Do you get nervous at the tournaments? Favorite build order for any matchup? Do you play other games than sc2? How much u practise per day?
Oh dear. Now that I have this opportunity, the pressure is to great for me to think up a good question >.<''' Ok, ummmmm ummmmm How long have you had glasses?!?!?!?!?
Did you enjoy your trips in Europe? (Germany for HomestoryCup and France for ESWC) Do you think that you will be able to play your best (mental) against Mvp in the future? Awesome opportunity btw, Prime clan fighting :D
Since someone already asked the why don't you wall off against zerg question, I'll ask, why do you hate bunkers so much? I know bunkers can't be microed, but they keep your marines nice and safe and you wouldn't want your marines to die would you?
Was progaming always his passion or has he always wanted to do something in modeling or fashion? I like the way Prime has now combined them in order to sustain itself.

wrong tlpd, you're using the BW one there (not the SC2 one) :<
We've seen players in Code A such as oGsTheStC use pure bio vs. zerg for the entirity of a macro game's length on occasion, reminiscent of the style MKP used many months ago. Do you think pure marine marauder medivac is a unit composition viable for macro play vs. zerg if you have strong micro?
Do you ever miss playing broodwar? Which game do you prefer more in terms of enjoyment? What made you switch from protoss in broodwar to terran in SC2?
This one has been asked before, but I think it should be stressed on.
Is there any particular reason for not building a wall + bunker(s) at your natural against counter attacks vs zerg, as well as not walling off your ramp? (I think you definitely should, but hey maybe you know better)
So my question is: With several notable korean players now joining foreign teams full time, what do you think this means for SC2 in Korea? Do you think it'll get any bigger, or do you think most players will eventually migrate to the higher paying foreign teams?
Ask him does he know how popular his sister is with the foreign community/also if he knows that John the English translator keeps mentioning how he wants to be introduced to her on the English stream.
I don't want to offend you but why are you still choosing to stay with Prime? So many of prime's old members have left, and the team seems very weak for such a talented player like you. Is Prime going to become a business with this new magazine and primezzang, and if so do you agree to sacrifice being on a 1st class sc2 team like IM in exchange for being in a more business-oriented team like Prime?
EDIT: And also a very very important question, I think most people have noticed by now but, you clearly are the most popular korean player besides old BW pros like BoxeR and July. This is very unusual because despite the fact that you are a good player you have not won a single championship. What do you think is the true reason that contributes to your popularity? I personally believe its because you play SC2 like its an adrenaline sport, not like a chess game that so many people wish it to be. Your very play style brings out excitement in situations where it is deemed to not be probable (TvT).

If you watched the Group selections: A ton of Prime players made it through the Code A qualifiers this season and he was quite happy about it. And the only Code S player who left Prime was Polt. Maka, Hongun, Check, BitByBit are the ones that I can recall that left the team and they all dropped out of Code A before leaving.
So it looks quite good for Prime imo. BBoongBBoong, Creator and Byun (when they revoke his ban ) are super scary.
I have no questions on my own but want to thank the Prime team/Clan for this awesome opportunity.

I know someone metioned it in here but prime has a lot of players still around and all with great potentital. just because we hear of a few bigger names leaving, doesn't mean the team is weak at all. Plus the magazine has nothing really to do with the team itself, its a clan publication, which means that members of the prime clan (different from the team) are doing it for free. This is explained in the op afaik. The magazine is run being published or anything, its a fun thing the clan members are doing to communicate with each other more often since the prime clan is very large.
and I would not call Prime 2nd class or anything. They came in 2nd last GSTL, which is better than many teams like IM, oGs and others did. So if Prime is a 2nd class team, then everyone else is 3rd class.
How do you generally prepare for a match? Do you analyse your opponent's play? Or do you just practice/develop general builds that would work against their race in general?
Also, do you have any quirky habits or rituals right before a match? ^-^
PS: my second uniform just arrived, thank you for signing it!!! :D Prime fighting!
Thank you for your comments! The answer will be posted soon with our first online publication.It is free for all of visitors. Of course, about 10 of questions would be picked, and some similar ones can be unified.
