Amazing interview, this should get a lot more attention. Very long and in depth - perfect. Also, very interesting answers (which means good questions) Are you going to do more interviews?

Journey--this guy knows what's up. He has an interesting connection with MMA, haha.

Thanks for the great interview. My initial reaction (Edit: to Dove's switch from BW to SC2) was, "great, another bump for the elephant thread," but I'm starting to dig this guy. I like when BW players aren't hung up on the elitism, for one. He talks really plainly rather than all manner all the time, too.

Such a wonderful interview. I love these types of interviews.... this had the same depth as the DRG interview that came pout before he made his debut in the GSTL.

Thanks a lot for the interview and the translation, I will be cheering for you in code A!

God, I still remember watching his replays...I loved his style. Terran was my worst race and he made me so jealous...

Specically I remember watching a replay of him against MidiaN where MidiaN played a really nice hydra lurker style and the game was just epic T_T so nastalgic lol

Great interview and the player shows a very nice character. I wish him the best and I have been following him stream SC2 for a month or so. He is good but it's obvious he doesn't completely understand the game at this point.

Good luck Dove.

As a senior with many years ahead of them, I want to say that a lot of foreigners talk about how bad and terrible conditions are for practice facilities in Korea for professional teams. If small stuff like that is going to deter you from pursuing your dream then don’t even try.


That pretty much sums it up.

Any stand out memories?

Back in the internal ranking games inside the SKT1 house, I crushed him 4-0 the first games. (T)MMA asked for a 30 minute break before continuing and I agreed. When the break was over he reversed the score to 4-4. He had been pumping himself up during the break, that is the kind of player he is.

And that's exactly why MMA would have being class S if he was still playing BW.

Wow, excellent interview Gamegene, thanks and well done!

Dove seems like a really good guy. I'll definitely be cheering for him.
I love that he's not afraid to criticize the game. He speaks his mind.

Sounds like a person committed to his ideals of working hard and becoming the best!
LoL @ the Psi-Storm and Colossi nightmares. Infestors should be removed!
Haha, I don't know. When I say those two sentences together it does kind of seem like Terran bias.

Dove fighting!!!!!!!

Amazing interview Gamegene!
It's really cool to get some insight into the personalities of the the other players that he's trained with over the years.
Hope to see more of him in the future (Code A).

Gamegene whaiting!!

I was pleasantly surprised with how good the interview actually was. It always kinda seemed that Dove wasn't really taking SC2 as seriously as other professionals (aka he was only in it for the money), but he really does seem to have a lot of very good and interesting opinions about the scene.

Good read.

I felt like his reasoning was more like "How is that noob MMA winning all these tournaments? SC2 must be EZPZ" rather than anything having to do with money. Obviously from the other answers, a successful career would make him (and his parents) much happier about his career choices than any amount of money.
