Well, it is nice to be able to read through that rather quickly, not much in terms of response length.
I did enjoy it and i do like him more now, although i am not sure why. I guess it is just becuase his lack of enthusiasm gave me nothing to dislike.. i guess.

Innovation in a nutshell: "I want to win." As a fan, I'd love to be loved more : (

But it's a refreshment not to read those standard "Cheer for me, me fighting, blabla" things.

I think it's great that we have different types of players and personalities in the sport. Not everyone needs to be funny like MC, bm like IdrA or whatever. While InNoVation may not be the most exciting personality, he has a humble attitude towards a game that he really wants to be the best at and I can totally respect that. The only thing that worries me is that judging by this interview he really doesn't seem to enjoy winning a championship as much as you'd expect. I truly hope he gets enough fullfillment when he himself thinks he's the best player in the world to keep going. Ultimately, I think that will be the case, I guess you don't need to enjoy the tournament wins if you really just enjoy being the best.

It seems like whatever they ask, he simply responds "no, I don't .." regardless of the question.

But kind of funny and nice to see interviews.

Not really, he has that charismatic stare which is rather sexy (cakegirl approves)

also, maybe he has some sort of social phobia or disorder or something :l

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?


MMmm, He seems to be pretty content with it all, so I don't think it's sad

Ok, so his responses were slightly bland, thats fine, its not the standard response, at least he was honest and up front about it. He plays to win at all costs. To be fair i really enjoyed reading this interview.

Great interview attempt ... I guess :D

Innovation seems to be kind of a robot: playing, eating, sleeping, no emotions, no empathy created ... just SC2. This sure seems to bring some good results gamewise but does it make him an interesting character? Not really ...

I feel the exact same way about Innovation after reading that interview than I did before ... and It's not the interviewer's fault

There's word that the Hellbat might get nerfed. Players like Flash have said that this is a change that must not be made. What are your thoughts?

Lost all respect for Flash right there

Idk whats the deal with people talking about how boring this was. It was a good interview, I particularly like his thoughts on how his 'mediocre' play during BW was just part of the process of becoming a good player. A lot of people seem to be reading the interviews and not comprehending what they're reading.

Also the interview questions were pretty poor...

"Isn't it nice though, to read praise when you've played a good game?"
Interviewer is asking the same question as before a second time trying to get a different answer.

"A lot of foreign players say they at least make sure to rewatch the games they've won. How about you?"

Third variation of a question this time poised as everyone else vs him.

"Some players like to keep up on a lot of tournaments, whether they're Korean or international. How about you? Do you watch a lot of games?"
Another dividing question.

"So your main goal then, all it is is winning championships?"
Dripping in a 'that's it?' tone.

Overall I think that what people are finding 'boring' about him is the fact that he doesn't have the same interests as them. He's not interested in TV shows, movies or pop culture in general. He is interested in walks. I personally think people who enjoy walking are more interesting than those who enjoy watching TV shows.

Lol this guy sounds like the F1 driver Kimi Raikkonen.

Anything you'd like the fans to know about you?

No, nothing, in particular.

Nothing?

Uh, not really.

Too funny lol.

Why, he is right. The game is extremely balanced as is.

Yeah, it is not Hellbats that necessarily need a change (note: change does not directly mean nerf). It is the combination of Hellbats and Speedivacs that is just silly.

Wow why did he not just say: I am the most boring individual in the world and will not say anything interesting and have done with the interview.
