Amazing interview! Innovation is truly a boss! He doesn't care much for watching vods of him losing, doesn't follow many tourneys, doesn't try to pander to his fans or hid his personality. Heck, he doesn't even want to go for oversea tournaments even though the competition should be easier than GSL and he could potentially make some easy money.

On top of all that, he believes he needs 3 championships to believe he is "good" and felt nothing after winning the first. His mind is always on starcraft except when he's not practicing and he enjoys going for walks(a rarity lol). All in all, a mechanical player who loves the game and is 100% dedicated to it and dedicating to making himself a name in Korea.

Only thing I found odd is his lack of love for BW. I mean, that's obviously ok but he's played that game for 3-4 years before SCII so I would figure he feels something for it but guess not lol.

Blimey, he didnt give the interviewer much to work with there. Nice work fom waxangel but what a tedious individual. Bordering on obnoxious in places.

Great player though, fair enough.

Based on the interviews I've read, a lot of ex-BW pros actually really like SC2 and felt rejuvenated due to the switch (of course some don't). I don't know if it's just duty that requires them to say good things about SC2, but most pros have been very positive about it--much more positive than the community.

you have to remember that from a very young age, he's spent most of his life practicing in front of a computer. it takes a certain personality to be able to do that relentlessly.

it's why he's able to even get an interview.

I'm aware of that, I can see he may lack the social skills to conduct a decent interview, but there are plenty of others who have done the same and at least give something back to the interviewer - particularly from a major foreign website that has used convoluted channels just to get the interview.

I can understand they reasons behind his lack of intrigue, but it doesn't make for pleasant reading.

ya don't disagree. Fantasy believed that SCII suits his style much more than BW after he dismantled Nestea back when he first switched.

or maybe he just doesn't care much about the interview?

Doesn't watch movies or TV but got his name from a K-Drama? Doesn't care about hellbats outside of TvT but used them extensively against Soulkey and sOs in his finals?

He actually DOES seem very concerned with image and what his fans think if he'll give answers like that.

he never said he never watches. he probably watches a couple episodes if he's really bored occasionally. imo you're reading too much into this.

hellbats are just another strat in vp and vz. hellbat drop is the dominant strat in tvt.

he stated before in an interview that he isn't a very emotional person. its not surprising.

as for tv, i dont watch much either, i only watch GoT, and that's once a week for like 8 weeks.

finally, a player that doesn't give a fuck about "personality" or all that other silly stuff, completely devoted to starcraft. and brutally honest about the foreign scene too.

hard of him to give a fuck about personality since he seems to lack one

his social life must have been close to inexistent since he finished school probably

I guess he's still young so he'll grow up and change, but geez... poor guy

I don't care what his hobbies are as long as he plays SC2 as he does.

I don't want to be his friend.

I just want to watch him smash.

GG Innovation.

Definitely full introvert, but I can respect the guy for sure. Interesting that he never watches other people play/tournaments. I wonder if that's why it took him so long to get good, had to develop most things himself. Regardless, he's top of the line now and with that sort of dedicated personality I think he'll stay there for a while.
