Clarity Gaming is proud to welcome another member into our roster. He was one of the first Korean players to switch and play for a foreign team, he was a constant force in online tournaments, and a ladder fiend, all while focusing on school. You may recognize him from his days on Vile (R.I.P.), or perhaps even his days on ZeNEX (R.I.P.). or SlayerS (R.I.P.) Introducing:

cYong

[image loading]

Hong "Yong" Sung Yong is a Korean Protoss player who took some time off from the game to focus more intensely on his schooling. Now that his schedule has lightened some, he's returned to focusing on the game and is quickly regaining his old form that made him a player to fear in any match.

We sat down for a brief interview with the man himself regarding his return to playing SC2 competitively
It’s been a while since you’ve retired from progaming. What have you been up to all this time?
프로게이머를 관두고 나서 휴학중이었던 학교를 복학해서 다녔다.
After i retired as a gamer, I went back to school.

Have you still been playing the game a lot?
관두고 나서 스타2는 하지 않고 종종 친구들과 롤을 했다.
I played LoL sometimes with my friends but didn't play SC2 at all.

When Quantic and Vile merged it was a huge surprise that you didn’t follow your former teammates and join Quantic Gaming, what was the reason behind this decision?
3월에 대학 복학을 하기 위해 vile팀에 들어갈때도 3월전까지 계약을 했었다.
The contract was till March. Then i went back to school.


Having just joined Clarity Gaming, what made you choose this team out of all the other North American teams?
스타2를 다시하게 된 계기는 Mercy형의 권유로 다시 시작하게 되었는데 Mercy형이 Clarity Gaming에 대해 이
야기를 해주었다. 이야기를 듣다보니 이팀에 들어가면 예전보다 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있을꺼라고 생각이 들었다.
Mercy suggested to play it again and I heard about Clarity Gaming from him. He talked good things about CG, I felt i could do better when i join this team.
+ Show Spoiler [Remainder of the Interview] +

You join an already extremely talented pool of players on the Clarity Gaming roster, what do you think you can help bring to the team?
현재는 아직 실력이 부족하지만 더 연습을 해서 대회에서 좋은 성적을 내는것이다.
Right now, i'm not that in good shape, but will practice hard and achieve something for CG.

Since it’s been quite a while since you’ve been in the pro scene of SC2, what do you think about the balance of the game right now especially in the Protoss matchups?
밸런서를 말할 입장이 아닌것 같다. 게임에서 지는것은 내가 상대방 보다 못하기 때문이다.
It's not the balance's problem. The reason I lose is because I'm worse than my opponent.

What are your ambitions from this point on having just came out of retirement and joining a new team?
야망은 큰 대회에서 좋은 성적을 내는것이다.
My goal is to achieve something in major tournaments.

Where can we be expecting to see you in the future and how do you rank yourself against the large array of talent in the SC2 professional scene at the moment?
아마 본선 무대에서 볼 수 있을것이다. 현재 점수를 매긴다면 50점이다. 100점이 되기 위해 노력할 것이다.
You may see it in tournaments. Right now i'm 50/100. I'll try hard to make it 100/100.


What do you think of all the Brood War players coming over to SC2 and making such a big impact?
예전부터 브루드워 선수들이 스타2로 전향하면 게임스타일이 많이 달라 질 것이라고 생각했다.
Ever since BW players move to SC2, I had expected lots of things would be changed.

If you could play one Brood War player in the Grand Finals of an SC2 tournament who would it be?
브루드워 선수들중에 아직 정윤종 선수의 경기밖에 보질 못해서 누굴 뽑지 못하겠다.
I’ve only watched Rain's matches so i don't know who to vote for.

What goals have you set for your second try at a programing career and what’s different this time than the last?
목표는 어떤 대회든지 예선을 통과해서 본선에 올라가서 게임을 하는것이다. 1번째 시절땐 지금 생각해보면
욕심과 노력이 별로 없었던것 같다. 지금은 마음가짐부터 다르다.
Advance any league/tournaments and play games. I wasn't greedy at all when i was BW gamer. Now? It's different.

Any final shout outs you would like to give?
끝까지 읽어주셔서 감사합니다. 최선을 다해서 좋은게임 보여드릴 수 있도록 노력하겠습니다.
Thank you for reading. I'll try my best to show you good games!


You can make sure to check out Yong's stream to check out all his practice sessions, as well as internal matches against other Clarity Players.

If you'd like to keep up with our players at these events and more you can follow the team on Twitter @Clarity_Gaming for updates!

If you'd like to get to know some of the other players a little better, take a look at the Pre-MLG Dallas Interviews we did with each of them, and our Post-MLG Wrap-Up detailing their efforts at the event!

As always, we have more and even bigger things planned for Clarity Gaming in the near future, and in 2013, so make sure to keep an eye out!

Without going into too much detail, the first team I worked with (Clash) was forcefully disbanded completely outside my control, and I did what I could to keep the team together after the fact. After that we had a run-in with some less than honest sponsors, and we were left out in the cold. Some of the guys on this team have been with me since the days at Clash, and I like to think that we didn't so much as switch teams, but evolve into something better. My primary goal has always been to worry about the players first, so sometimes, in order to keep the environment ideal for players, changes within the team have to be made.

Also, JookTo is never lonely. We have multiple Korean speaking players and staff on hand, and his English is remarkable. He meshes well with the team environment.

JookTo and Yong are not the only Korean players on Clarity Gaming actually! http://claritygaming.com/team-roster/ MotoK and Mercy are both from South Korea as well. Mercy was formerly on xSix and Clash and MotoK was a former KeSPA semipro for an FPS game called Sudden Attack.

In addition we happen to have multiple staffers who are fluent in Korean and JookTo's English ensures communication is never a problem .

Edit: Beaten to the punch.

This team is amazing and congrats to both the team and Yong. From players to staff, this team is like a family or that's what I saw from MLG. Always there to watch their players/teammates play, always there to give them encouraging words. Fantastic team and hope Virgil and the players have finally found themselves a home to settle in.

Saw him streaming a few days ago, made me realize that I had no idea where he went to after the vile-quantic merge. Glad to see he's getting back into things and found a new team
