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:

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
Itโs been a while since youโve retired from progaming. What have you been up to all this time?
ํ๋ก๊ฒ์ด๋จธ๋ฅผ ๊ด๋๊ณ ๋์ ํดํ์ค์ด์๋ ํ๊ต๋ฅผ ๋ณตํํด์ ๋ค๋ ๋ค.
After i retired as a gamer, I went back to school.
Have you still been playing the game a lot?
๊ด๋๊ณ ๋์ ์คํ2๋ ํ์ง ์๊ณ ์ข ์ข ์น๊ตฌ๋ค๊ณผ ๋กค์ ํ๋ค.
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 didnโt follow your former teammates and join Quantic Gaming, what was the reason behind this decision?
3์์ ๋ํ ๋ณตํ์ ํ๊ธฐ ์ํด vileํ์ ๋ค์ด๊ฐ๋๋ 3์์ ๊น์ง ๊ณ์ฝ์ ํ์๋ค.
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?

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.

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?

Right now, i'm not that in good shape, but will practice hard and achieve something for CG.
Since itโs been quite a while since youโve been in the pro scene of SC2, what do you think about the balance of the game right now especially in the Protoss matchups?
๋ฐธ๋ฐ์๋ฅผ ๋งํ ์ ์ฅ์ด ์๋๊ฒ ๊ฐ๋ค. ๊ฒ์์์ ์ง๋๊ฒ์ ๋ด๊ฐ ์๋๋ฐฉ ๋ณด๋ค ๋ชปํ๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์ด๋ค.
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?
์ผ๋ง์ ํฐ ๋ํ์์ ์ข์ ์ฑ์ ์ ๋ด๋๊ฒ์ด๋ค.
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?

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?

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?

Iโve 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 whatโs different this time than the last?

Any final shout outs you would like to give?
