William 'Chobra' Cho here, your host for the OGN broadcasts of the WCS Season 1 Finals.
Starting on Day 2, we will invite players to the second stream for some extra content. We want to get to know the players more and have some fun with them ^^ This will include a section where we will take questions from subs on twitch chat, twitter, and none other than: you, the TL community.
One of the casters from our line-up will also join at all times to help dig out some of these answers from the players
Second Stream:OGN Lounge Twitter Questions: #WCSOGN
We will update the post as we confirm players to make appearances, but here's the line-up we can start with on Day 2!
Day 2 Guest List Soulkey TLO Stephano ForGG sOs RorO (more to come) updated as of 11:30AM KST / 7:30PM PDT
Take this as an AMA, so feel free to shoot questions ranging from their thoughts on the WCS to their favorite lunch box combination.
We won't be able to take all questions, but we'll try to pick out the most interesting ones, so keep 'em coming!
We won't be able to live-update this thread as quickly as twitter, but our twitter @ognglobal should have live updates on who is coming on next as we kick off the show on Day 2.
Excited to bring you some great content! Give us your best questions, game related or not, and I'll see you guys on broadcast tomorrow. Meanwhile, games aren't done for Day 1 so check them out! (or VODs!)
To Soulkey: Why did you pick "Soulkey" as your name? Why is Stars so strong in this season of Proleague? Who do you think is better, Innovation or Flash?
For the Foreigners, are you happy reaching the world finals and at the number of non-Koreans? Do you have better expectations for yourself come season 2?
To anyone: - Who do you think will become the next Zerg bonjwa? - Have you ever heard the term "full foreigner" (or closest literal translation)? What do you think that term means?
How do you feel after your heartbreaker at the GSL? Do you feel fully recovered and ready to dominate now? Do you look forward to a possible Rematch with Soulkey!?
Thank you for introducing me to a massive collection of amazing orchestral music via your stream - who is your favourite producer of these kinds of tracks?
To Innovation: Why don't you make any tanks(even just 1-3 for defense) when the only way you can really lose in TvZ is to roach baneling all-ins?
To Soulkey: You play a very aggressive, prolonged lair, muta ling bane style in TvZ, similiar to MVP.DRG. What makes you so successful with this style compared to DRG who has fallen into a slump with the same style?
To TLO: When will we be able to see you "break a match-up" that you tweeted about? Are you keeping that style a secret for now?
What do you think about the fact that Europe has adopted you as Jürgen? How do you fell competing in WCS Europe is, compared to GSL Code S? Does it feel like you've earned the G5L or not?
Curious to know how his mindset was after switching from Hwaseung to Woongjin, then from switching from Brood War to SC2 - and what he felt made him 'click' and become successful in SC2.
To Soulkey, did/do you realize that the only other Stars member to ever win a Starleague, ggPlay, also came back from a big deficit and beat a Terran through a reverse sweep?
RorO: How and/or why did you pick this ID? Who is the dark horse in Samsung KHAN?
sOs: How (or with whom) do you practice your builds as they're quite unconventional?
Soulkey: How have you adjusted your play since the GSL finals to prepare for this weekend?
To all: If your team had an arm wrestling competition, who would win? Who is most athletic on your team? Do you guys play other sports besides SC2 and soccer?

Q:Do you know just how much the community loves you, and how does that influence you and just fundamentally make you feel.
Q: Why do you think many of the 'old' champions have fallen off relative to their prime (MMA, Nestea, MC), yet you still remain extremely prominent. What differentiates you from other champions, who normally fall off after winning at the highest level.
In 2008, you beat Jaedong 3-0 in bo5 for Arena MSL for your only first place finish in the game. Now in SC2, you have 3 first place finishes and 1 second place finish. How do you see yourself now as a player in SC2 as opposed to your SC1 career? Has the game changed in any way for you to be more successful or have you found a steady plateau to progress forward?
Also, a question to Soulkey if Chobra sees it: How important Ryu Won is to the success Woongjin Stars is currently having in Proleague and individual results?

That's pretty cool, although I'm not sure it would make a great interview question
