honestly, it's not very normal for someone to complete neglect every other aspect of life in order to become the best at one thing. Sure, he's an amazing starcraft player, but besides that, what does he do? He goes on walks? Don't you guys think that's at least a little sad?


what do you think other progamers do, party every night after practicing for 12 hours, cause fuck sleep right? What I've heard the best ones devote even the little freetime they have for practice

Believe it or not, progamers are human and do other things besides starcraft. Weird concept, I know. I guarantee you that you could ask any progamer what they do when they're not playing sc2, and they'll say things like watching tv/movies, playing other games, cooking, reading books, etc. you know, other hobbies? Even in Kespa teams, I doubt everyone on those teams ONLY practice and sleep. Just because you've heard that the pros in Korea play a lot of sc doesn't mean that's literally the only thing they ever do.

Rather than thinking innovation is boring, this interview actually told me that he is a nice guy, and that he seems to invest more time in doing stuff with other people than watching some lame TV shows. He just doesn't seem the guy that has to demand attention to feel good about himself, which I like.

The interview just stated that he does sometimes play badminton and obviously does from time to time watch TV and whatnot, so yeah playing is not literally the only thing he does. He just obviously doesn't have much time to spend doing anything exciting is my point, which I find pretty normal considering his circumstances.

I'm pretty sure most of the really high class gamers have a sort of personality that atleast cares to a certain extents about fans, traveling or anything else except their own game. Tbh, Bogus sounds really horrible as a rolemodel with the star level he has reach at this moment. I really hope he gets some attitude changes or coaching if he plans to stay on top of the HoTS thorne. If not, I wouldn't say this is good for e-sports. Players like Jaedong, Bisu and Flash had probably the same kind of boring "attitude" to some extent, but they still remained professional and appricative to all the fans. This interview is just lame...

Idk, just seems weird to me that it looks like he has nothing else he enjoys doing besides playing SC2. Maybe you're right, maybe he just doesn't have time. Whatever his circumstances are, I at least hope he is having a happy life.

Yes, why wouldn't it be a hobby?

How is it a more exciting hobby than going for walks or playing badminton though?

Mindset of a champion.
The very best in every competitive discipline are the ones who devote themselves the most and trade their social life (or a huge part of it) for championships.

Why do you guys insist that INnoVation has no personality. This is the most interesting and direct thing I have ever heard from Korean progamers. Unless you want silly tired schtick like those from EG? That's what you mean by personality?

They really don't.

Flash slept 3 hours a day and played nearly every waking minute of his life playing Starcraft and when he couldn't play Starcraft he would think about Starcraft.
