Even though he only played one game this season, Kevin "QXC" Riley has long been a major figure in the StarCraft community. After graduating from college, QXC will finally be returning to professional StarCraft full time. The MCSL's Michael "Achilles" Dorrill was recently able to speak with QXC about his plans for the future, thoughts on recent meta-game shifts, and his brief time in Korea.
Excerpt:
+ Show Spoiler +Michael “Achilles” Dorrill - compLexity has just purchased a team house. What are you most excited about?
Kevin “QXC” Riley - A lot of the disparity between Koreans and Foreigners seems to be from the culture and atmosphere that surrounds their practice. Hopefully with a team house in place we can mitigate some of that and catch up in important ways to our most challenging opponents.
A - How will the house change the way you practice?
QXC - The biggest thing that will change is that there will be more interaction between players and hopefully a lot more discussion and custom games. Other people can often see our weaknesses much easier than we can so we can hopefully find some new insights that we wouldn't otherwise see. Also, it'll be nice to not have to worry about as much stuff so more focus can be put on actually practicing and getting better.
Check out the full interview here!

The man is back in town!!!!

Qxc is one of the most honest and straightforward pros I've ever heard who doesn't sugar coat anything.
I really like this quote:
I'm not really sure. My skill level right now is lower than I expected it to be. If I can go and play good games that will be enough. I've still got too many ways that I need to test my own ability before I can make a good prediction of how I can do compared to others.
Just shows how well he knows himself and his ability. Hope he can prove himself at MLG Spring!
|
I've been waiting for this day for awhile. Anyone who watched him stream back in the "Scan the island" days has to be happy now that he is able to actually focus on the game again. I think he will rise to the top pretty quickly.
|
QXC has a lot of potential as evidenced by how well he's played at certain moments in the past. I hope he does well cause he's a really nice guy!
|
Awesome to see QXC coming back. I always loved his personality and sense of humour. I wish you the best dude.
|
Is this a thing now? Interview threads with 1 picture, 2 quotes and then a link?
I love interviews with QXC. He's such a chill person.
|
Can't wait to see how far he can go! Easily one of the coolest guys in e-sports.

I saw this legendary game live... crap, that was way back when SCRAP STATION was a ladder map, and we had to worry about close positions shattered vs terran, or *steppes of war*
Wow, that brings me back.

he may be only returning to sc2, but he never left my heart...
scan the island!
|
Yay, was so happy when he took down rainbow in beta, he seemed unstoppable. Can't wait to see him dominating Koreans again.
|
I love ya, qxc. Hope you crush some face during your next tourneys! :D
